Background: Obesity is one of the most important modifiable risk factors in the pathogenesis of lifestyle diseases like atherosclerosis, hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Overweight or obese adolescents are at an increased risk of developing diabetes and hypertension in future. A study was done to determine the relationship between body mass index and fasting blood glucose among students of a tertiary care teaching hospital. Materials and methods: A cross sectional analytical study was carried out among all medical students in a tertiary care teaching hospital in Kerala who consented to participate after obtaining approval from Institutional Research and Ethics Committee. The study tools used were standardized weighing machine, stadiometer, Accu-check glucometer and strips, disposable needles and pre-designed questionnaire. Results: Among the 254 study participants, 67% were females. The prevalence of impaired fasting glucose is 18.11% in the study population. No significant correlation was found between fasting blood glucose and body mass index. There was an increase in median FBS as the BMI increases, though not statistically significant (p=0.08). In the linear regression model, the statistic R2 explains that 7.9% of the variability in fasting blood glucose is explained by body mass index. Conclusion: The prevalence of prediabetes among the study participants was very high and it was higher among those who were overweight. The need of the hour is to identify the high-risk group in the community right from the young age and initiate trials or intervention studies to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes.

Objectives. The study aimed to assess the relationship between body fat and each of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC), and to test the effectiveness of fat mass (FM), percent of body fat (PBF), BMI, and WC in predicting high levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG).Methods. A total of 167 adolescents aged 11–17 years were recruited from Rabat region. BMI and WC were determined using standard equipments. FM and PBF were derived from isotope dilution technique. FBG was determined by the hexokinase method.Results. Regardless of the weight status, BMI showed a strong positive correlation with FM and PBF in both genders. WC was significantly correlated with FM in boys and girls, and with PBF in different groups of girls and boys of the study sample. However, there was no significant relationship between WC and PBF in normal weight and overweight-obese groups of boys. FBG was highly correlated with FM and PBF in girls of the study sample and in overweight-obese girls. Similar significant relationship between FBG and both BMI and WC was observed in overweight-obese girls, while there was no significant association between FBG and other variables in boys and normal-weight girls.Conclusion. BMI and WC were closely associated with FM and PBF, respectively. However, the degree of these associations depends on gender and weight status. BMI may provide a better proxy estimate of overall adiposity than WC; nevertheless, both of them would appear to be a reasonable surrogate for FM and PBF as screening tools to identify adolescents at risk of developing excess body fat and high level of FBG.

Abstract: Glucose is a main compound that has important role in preparation and development  of energy in human body. Blood glucose level is the amount of glucose in the blood. One of the factors that affects blood glucose level is body weight. Body weight is affected by several factors, such as aged, gender, and physical activities. Overweight may cause insulin resistance, results in increasing of the blood glucose level. This study aimed to describe the fasting blood glucose level at students Faculty of Medicine year 2011 Sam Ratulangi University with Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥23 kg/m2. Research method used for this study was cross sectional descriptive survey with purposive sampling method. From 26 respondents, 12 overweight (BMI ≥23 kg/m2) respondents (46,15%) had average fasting blood glucose level 85,4 mg/dL and 14 obese (BMI ≥25 kg/m2) respondents (53,85%) had average fasting blood glucose level 86 mg/dL. Conclusion: the description of fasting blood glucose level at students Faculty of Medicine year 2011 Sam Ratulangi University with Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥23 kg/m2 is at normal level (80-100 mg/dL). Keywords: BMI ≥23 kg/m2, Fasting blood glucose, students year 2011     Abstrak: Glukosa merupakan suatu molekul utama yang berperan penting dalam penyediaan dan pembentukan energi di dalam tubuh. Kadar glukosa darah adalah jumlah kandungan glukosa dalam darah. Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi kadar glukosa darah adalah berat badan. Berat badan dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor, antara lain usia, jenis kelamin, dan aktivitas fisik. Kelebihan berat badan dapat menyebabkan resistensi insulin sehingga kadar glukosa dalam darah meningkat. Peningkatan kadar glukosa darah merupakan salah satu penanda sindroma metabolik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran kadar glukosa darah puasa pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi Angkatan 2011 dengan Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) ≥23 kg/m2. Jenis penelitian berupa penelitian survey deskriptif cross sectional dengan metode purposive sampling. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 26 orang responden. Hasil penelitian ini didapatkan 12 orang responden (46,15%) yang overweight (IMT ≥23 kg/m2) memiliki rata-rata kadar glukosa darah puasa 85,4 mg/dL dan 14 orang responden (53,85%) yang obesitas (IMT ≥25 kg/m2) memilki rata-rata kadar glukosa darah puasa 86 mg/dL. Simpulan: semua responden mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi Angkatan 2011 memiliki kadar glukosa darah puasa normal (80-100 mg/dL).

Background and Aim: A stroke, also known as a cerebrovascular accident, is defined as the sudden onset of a focal neurologic deficit caused by a disruption in blood flow to parts of the brain. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the frequency of dyslipidemia in stroke patients. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 184 stroke patients in Medical department of Services Hospital, Lahore for duration of six months i.e from November 2020 to June 2021. All the stroke patients admitted during the study period were enrolled. Demographic details, past medical and family history, stroke risk factors, blood pressure, body mass index, and diabetic state were noted. Fasting blood samples were taken from individuals of stroke diagnosed based on CT scan. Lipid profiles including triacylglycerol, cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, low-density lipoproteins, and glycosylated hemoglobin were all measured from an individual blood samples. SPSS version 20 was used for data analysis. Results: Of the total 184 stroke patients, 123 (66.8%) were male patients while 61 (33.2%) were females. The overall mean age was 41.35±12.76 years whereas the mean body mass index was 37.61±10.91 Kg/m2. Out of 184 patients, the prevalence of prevalent risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and smoking was found 146 (79.5%), 89 (48.2%), and 58 (31.7%) respectively. The prevalence of Hypercholesterolemia (mg/dl), Hypertriglyceridemia (mg/dl), High LDL (mg/dl) levels, high VLDL (mg/dl), and low HDL was 49 (26.4%), 37 (20.1%), 31 (16.8%), 23 (12.5%), and 13 (7.1%) respectively. The abnormalities in HbA1c and fasting blood glucose were found in 93 (50.6%) and 95 (51.4%). Conclusion: Dyslipidemia was more prevalent in ischemic stroke patients. The smoker and male population are more susceptible to stroke risks that involve high LDL, high HbA1c, low HDL, hypertension, and higher fast blood glucose. Family history and diabetes are other risk factors for stroke. Appropriate intrusion for alteration of uneven lipid profile can improve stroke prognosis and prevention Keywords: Dyslipidemia; Ischemic Stroke, Cholesterol

Background: In resource-limited countries like Bangladesh, there is a scarcity of epidemiological researches examining the relationship of blood glucose level with hypertension and BMI among the graduate level students. This research was therefore undertaken to evaluate fasting blood glucose levels of Mawlana Bhashani Science and Technology University students and to check its associations with sex, body mass index (BMI) and hypertension. Methods: For the study the 240 students (120 male and 120 female) were randomly selected. The demographic data of the study subjects were collected by interviewing the subjects with standardized questionnaires. Their fasting blood glucose levels were measured using portable blood glucose meter. The BMI and blood pressure of the subjects were also recorded following standard protocol. Finally the data were analyzed with SPSS software. Results: The fasting blood glucose levels of the study subjects indicated that 0.4% of subjects were diabetic and, 5.4% of subjects were pre-diabetic. The blood glucose levels (mean±SE) of female subjects (4.88±0.07) were higher than that of the male (4.61±0.04) subjects. The mean blood glucose levels of hypertensive subjects (4.81±0.07 mmol/L) were higher than that of the normotensive counterpart (4.73±0.05 mmol/L). The fasting blood glucose levels shows significant positive associations with SBP (r=0.155, p<0.05) and DBP (r=0.149, p<0.05).The fasting blood glucose levels also showed a significant positive association with the BMI (r=0.193, p<0.01) of the subjects. Conclusions: This study reveals the diabetic and hypertension status of the Bangladeshi graduate level students. The result of the study is very important in the context of public concern health of Bangladesh.
