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.

Estradiol Levels

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.

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: Prevalence of obesity in Indonesia, was increase especially for pre- elderly to elderly which age group 55-64 years of the highest obesity. Insulin resistance that occurs in the obese group can lead to a decrease in insulin work that causes increased glucose levels.Purpose: Aim of the research was to know the correlation between waist-hip circumference ratio and body mass index with blood glucose level. Methods: The study design was cross sectional.  Respondents of this study were 36 elderly with aged beetwen 46-70 years who were registered in elderly posyandu. Sampling used simple random sampling techniques. The variabels of this study were the body mass index, waist-hip circumference ratio and fasting blood glucose level. Data were analyzed using pearson correlation test with a signifi cance level (α) = 0,05. Results: This research showed that, based on body mass index, most of respondents fall into overweight 2 category by 36,10%, abdominal obesity based on waist hip circumference ratio by 63,90% and blood glucose level more than 125 mg/dl by 25%. The result of pearson correlation test showed that there was relationship between waist-hip circumference ratio with blood glucose levels which statistically proved p < 0.05 (p = 0.01; r = 0.486). There was no  relationship between mass index with blood glucose levels which statistically proved p > 0.05  (p = 0.316; r = 0.172).  Conclusion: Waist-hip circumference ratio as strongest factor correlation with blood glucose level when compared with body mass index.
