Blood Glucose Levels

Overweight and obesity have been correlated to the higher risk for developing metabolic diseases in later life, i.e. DM type 2. We study the body mass index (BMI), the waist to hip ratio (WHR) and the fasting blood glucose levels (FBG) in the seemingly healthy male and female university students to comprehend these variables amongst the youth in Indonesia in 2019. The BMI and WHR of 150 male and female students aged 18-22 years old of the IIKBW, Kediri were measured by standardised anthropometry. The FBG was measured after 8 hours-minimum of fasting from the capillary blood drop using glucometer. Data was then analysed using SPSS 17 with level of significance of p<0.05. According to Asia-Pacific BMI classification, students were 30.7% obese with males significantly higher than females (p=0.016), 18% overweight (significantly higher in females, p=0.04), 36% normal and 15.3% underweight.When compared between genders, the WHR is significantly higher in males (p<0.001); whilst no significant differences in FBG (p=0.6). Four males and 5 females with FBG ≥ 100 mg/dl, whereas others were within normal limits. There are positive significant correlations between BMI and WHR in males and females (r=0.777, p<0.001; r=0.54, p<0.001, respectively). There is a significant positive correlation between the BMI and FBG with r=0.217, p=0.008; and between the WHR and FBG with r=0.21, p=0.01 amongst all students. In this study, male students have significantly higher BMI and WHR than females. Higher FBG was well observed in students with either higher BMI or WHR.

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.

Premenopause is a transitional period that occurs due to decreased generative or endocrine function of the ovaries. In premenopausal women, there is a decrease in estrogen hormone levels and an increase in Body Mass Index (BMI) so that it will increase the risk of diabetes mellitus which is one of the four priority non-communicable diseases. The incidence of diabetes mellitus in women is much higher when compared to men. The research was conducted in the city of Padang, with an observational, cross-sectional design. The sampling technique used was multistage random sampling with a sample of 99 premenopausal women. The estradiol level was assessed by ELISA method, BMI was assessed by weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared, fasting blood glucose level was assessed by the enzymatic photometric method. The correlation between estradiol levels and fasting blood glucose levels was analyzed by using the Pearson Correlation test. The correlation between BMI and fasting blood glucose levels was analyzed by using the Pearson Correlation test. The mean of estradiol level was (148,689±49,417) pg/ml. Average Body Mass Index (BMI) was included in the Obese category I (26.5 kg/m2). The mean fasting blood glucose level was (98,766±6,549) mg/dL. There is a correlation between estradiol levels and fasting blood glucose levels (p value = 0.007 and r value = 0.270). In addition, there is a correlation between BMI and fasting blood glucose levels (p value = 0.023). The conclusion of this study is that there is a significant correlation between estradiol levels and fasting blood glucose. There is a significant correlation between BMI and fasting blood glucose Keywords: Estradiol Levels, Body Mass Index, Fasting Blood Glucose Levels, Premenopause.

The trend of increasing overweight and obesity is not related to genetic factors only; rather majority of this burden is attributable to the environmental factors. The aim of the study was to observe the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) level in a selected group of teenagers of Bangladesh. A cross sectional study was conducted involving 39 male and 41 female MBBS students of Faridpur Medical College during 06-04-2014 to 22-05- 2014 by purposive sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire & check list. Out of 80 students 48.8% male, 51.2% female, 12.5% underweight, 67.5% normal, 16.2% overweight & 3.8% was obese. Mean age of the students was 18.99, BMI 21.99, SBP 121.12, DBP 79.19 and FBG 4.53. Most of students were normotensive (SBP 88.8%; DBP 96.2%) & a few students (SBP 8.8% & DBP 3.8%) were hypertensive. Majority of students (66.2%) were normoglycemic and rest of the students were hypoglycemic. Correlation between BMI and FBG (P=0.65) was not significant but correlation between BMI and systolic blood pressure (SBP) (p<0.0001); BMI & diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (p<0.05) was significant. Comparison of SBP between male and female students showed (p<0.001) was significant. BP and family history of hypertension showed (x2=5.85), p=0.05 level of significance. BMI and FBG showed no significant correlation. BMI and BP showed positive correlation. Male has higher BP than female. Students with family history of hypertension are prone to develop hypertension.Medicine Today 2018 Vol.30(2): 74-77

Introduction: Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Periodontal disease is caused by predominantly anaerobic gram negative bacteria. Microbial substances initiate and perpetuate the inflammation resulting in the production of high levels of proinflammatory cytokines and hyperactivity of white blood cells and of blood platelets, thus promoting the development of hyperlipidemia. Objective: To evaluate the plasma lipids (Total cholesterol, Low Density Lipoproteins and Triglycerides) as well as Fasting blood glucose levels in non diabetic, non-obese periodontal disease patients and controls. Materials and methods: 18 subjects with chronic periodontal disease (aged 38 to 50 years) were matched for age, sex and BMI (Body Mass Index) with 18 healthy subjects. Total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, triglycerides and fasting blood glucose levels were measured using routine enzymatic biochemical methods. Results: Total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides was significantly higher in chronic periodontitis patients by 12% ( p<0.02), 14% ( p<0.03) and 22% ( p<0.03) respectively as compared to controls. Fasting blood glucose levels was higher by 7% (p<0.04) in chronic periodontitis patients than controls. Conclusion: Hyperlipidemia and prediabetic state may be associated with chronic periodontitis. Key words: chronic periodontitis; plasma lipids; body mass index; fasting blood glucose. DOI: 10.3329/bjms.v9i2.5657Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.09 No.2 Apr 2010 pp.95-100
