Background: Physical activity refers to the movement of the body that causes the expenditure of energy for the maintenance of physical and mental health and is produced by skeletal muscle which is repeated over a period of time. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of physical activity on blood glucose level in high school teachers in Palu, Indonesia.Methods: This was a descriptive analytic research with a cross-sectional approach. The research was conducted in Palu city. Seventy-five pre-diabetic high school teachers in Palu city meeting the inclusion criteria participated in this study. Data analysis in this research was done using Ordinal Regression Test.Results: Overall, 40 respondents (53.3%) had moderate physical activity (600-1500 Mets), 32 respondents (42.7%) had heavy physical activity (>1500 Mets), and 3 respondents (4.0%) had light activity (<600 Mets). Spearman correlation test indicated a significant correlation between physical activity and blood glucose level in high school teachers in Palu City.Conclusions: Higher level of physical activity is associated with lower level of blood glucose.

Abstract: Central obesity that measured by waist circumference as one of metabolic syndrome’s criteria, is one of many risk factor of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Teacher is an occupation which has the risk of high blood glucose and visceral fat accumulation. People with obesity have a tendency to elevation of blood glucose level. The aim of this research is to understand the correlation between waist circumference and blood glucose level on teacher in Eben Haezar junior and senior christian high school Manado. This research is a cross-sectional study that was conducted on September to December 2016. Samples were collected by total sampling method. Research data were analyzed with Spearman Rank Correlation Test. There are 83 research samples which consist of 28 men (33,7%) and 55women (66,7%). Most of teachers experienced central obesity (74,7%) and normal blood glucose level (83,1%). The result of the correlation test between waist circumference and blood glucose level is p-value = 0,9522 and r = -0,00667981. This study found that there is no statistically significant relationship between waist circumference and blood glucose level on teacher in Eben Haezar junior and senior christian high school Manado.Keywords: waist circumference, blood glucose level, teachers Abstrak: Obesitas sentral yang diukur berdasarkan lingkar pinggang sebagai salah satu kriteria sindroma metabolik merupakan salah satu faktor risiko penyakit metabolik dan kardiovaskular. Guru merupakan pekerjaan yang berisiko mengalami peningkatan kadar gula darah dan penumpukan lemak viseral. Orang dengan obesitas memiliki faktor risiko mengalami peningkatan kadar gula darah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan lingkar pinggang dengan kadar gula darah pada guru di SMP dan SMA Kristen Eben Haezar Manado. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian potong lintang yang dilaksanakan pada bulan September-Desember 2016. Sampel diambil dengan metode total sampling. Data penelitian dianalisis dengan uji korelasi Spearman. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 83 sampel yang terdiri dari 28 sampel pria (33,7%) dan 55 sampel wanita (66,3%). Mayoritas guru mengalami obesitas sentral (74,7%) dan kadar gula darah yang normal (83,1%). Hasil Uji korelasi antara lingkar pinggang dengan kadar gula darah adalah p-value = 0,9522 dan r = -0,00667981. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan antara lingkar pinggang dengan kadar gula darah pada guru di SMP dan SMA Kristen Eben Haezar Manado.

Background and objectives: The childhood population in Bangladesh is ~20% of the 166.5 million. The rural population comprises almost 70%. Approximately, Bangladesh has more than 23,500 high schools. There has been no published data on the profile of illness commonly observed among the high school children. The aims of the study were a) to determine a profile of common illness among the students of rural high schools; b) to assess the nutrition status related to socio-economic class and c) to find out the correlations between anthropometry and blood pressure and between anthropometry and blood glucose status. Methods: The study was conducted in purposively selected high schools in Santhia thana under the district of Pabna. Local leaders and the school teachers volunteered to communicate the study objectives and investigation details to the eligible students. The teachers prepared the list of participants. All the willing participants were advised to attend the investigation site in the morning in a fasting state. Each participant was interviewed. Socio-demographic and clinical history was taken. Investigations included anthropometry – height (ht), weight (wt), waist- and hip-circumference (waist, hip). Adiposity indices namely body mass index (BMI – wt in kg/ht in met. sq.), waist/hip ratio (WHR) and waist/ht ratio (WHtR) were calculated. Resting blood pressure was taken. Clinical examination (general and systemic) was done. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) was estimated using glucometer strip and blood grouping by test kit. Test kit was also used for detection of urinary protein. Results: From six schools, 1069 students (boys/girls = 392/677) of age 10 to 19 years participated in the study. The participants from middle class family were 52.7% and upper were 14.4%. Their mothers were mostly housewives (95.5%) and only 16% had academic education of ten years or more. The mean (± SD) values of BMI, WHR, WHtR and FBG were 18.2 (± 2.9), 0.81 (± 0.07), 0.43 (± 0.05) and 5.26 (± 0.45) mmol/L respectively. Adiposity was significantly higher in upper socio-economic class than the middle and lower class, though no differences were observed in blood pressure and blood glucose level. Of the illnesses, the most common were sinusitis (21.4%), tonsillitis (13.3%) and toothache plus dental caries (10.7%). Conclusions: The most common illnesses were sinusitis, tonsillitis and dental caries. Anthropometric measures indicated that adiposity was not uncommon in rural children. Though adiposity was found higher among the upper than the lower socio-economic class, blood pressure and blood glucose level showed no difference indicating equal risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) irrespective of socio-economic class. These findings envisage that the existing status of child health might lead to NCDs in adult life. We suggest adiposity, blood pressure and blood glucose status of a high school cohort may be prospectively followed for eventual future health events. Ibrahim Med. Coll. J. 2020; 14(2): 33-41
