ABSTRACTThe increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity is associated with the increasing incident of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Obesity, especially abdominal obesity is an important risk factor for the onset of diabetes. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between body mass index, waist circumference and waist hip ratio with blood glucose level. The study design was cross-sectional. The study population was elderly posyandu member aged 45 to 70 years in Menur clinic work area who were registered in elderly posyandu activities in May 2013. The numbers of sample were 60 respondents who drawn by simple random sampling method. The variabels of this study were the characteristics of respondent, body mass index, waist  circumference,  waist hip ratio and fasting blood glucose level. The study showed that respondents classified as overweight (38%), obesity (33, 3%), abdominal obesity based on waist circumference  (77.8%), abdominal obesity based on waist hip ratio (81,7 %) and blood glucose level more than 125 mg/dl (8.3%). Pearson correlation test showed that there was relationship between body mass index with blood sugar levels (p=0,007; r=0,345), between waist circumference with blood sugar levels (p=0,001; r=0,424) and  between waist hip ratio with blood sugar levels (p =0,002; r=0,392). Waist circumference as the strongest factor related to blood glucose level. Waist circumference measurement should be done in elderly posyandu activities to detect high-risk individuals with diabetes. Keywords: Diabetes, body mass index, waist circumference, waist hip ratio,                     blood glucose level

Background: Obesity is a global challenge all over the world. Body mass index is a good marker to measure the adiposity. Obesityis one of the important risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Normal random blood glucose levels are closely regulated in healthwith a normal range of 4.4-7.8mmol/l (79-140mg/dl), despite the varying demands of food, exercise and fasting. Many diabeticpatients are obese and studies suggest a strong association between the two.Objective: To find an association of BMI with blood glucose level in undergraduate healthy students of Ayub Medical CollegeMaterial and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in 2018, capillary blood samples were collected from 152students of Ayub Medical College Abbottabad to evaluate blood glucose level by Accu chek softclix® lancing device and Accu chekglucometer®, BMI was calculated by the formula (weight in kg/ height in meters squared). Data was collected and analyzed bySPSS version 23.Results: Total 152 (100%) healthy participants with 84 (55.3%) males and 68 (44.7%) females included in this study. Their ageswere ranged from 18-25 with a mean age of 21.02 years (min 17 max 26) having a standard deviation of 1.75. By taking thecorrelation between two parameters i.e. body mass index and serum random blood glucose level by Pearson product of moment(p=.214, r=101) a non-significant result was found.Conclusion: It is concluded that there is no significant association found between two parameters (BMI and serum BGL) in healthyyoung adults.

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). Kata Kunci: Glukosa darah puasa, IMT ≥23 kg/m2, mahasiswa angkatan 2011

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.

Aim: We aimed to find out the blood sugar levels at two different phases of menstrual cycle and the factors associated with the change in blood sugar level at these different phases. Material and methods: A total of 60 Bengali-speaking Hindu participants, who were married, aged between 30 and 45 years, have regular menstruation, and not diagnosed as diabetic, were selected for this study. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on sociodemographic, menstrual, reproductive, and lifestyle variables. Height (cm), weight (kg), and blood glucose level (mg/dl) were measured at two intervals of time: (a) during menstrual phase (between the 1st and 4th day) and (b) during luteal phase (between 19th and 22nd day of the cycle) following standard protocol. Bivariate analyses showed that majority of participants have increased blood glucose level at luteal phase as compared to their menstrual phase. Results: Results reveal that although BMI did not differ significantly between menstrual and luteal phases, there was a positive correlation between changed BMI value and changed blood glucose level measured during menstrual and luteal phases. Multivariate analysis revealed that blood glucose level increased with the increase in BMI level between two phases of menstrual cycle.
