[Certain characteristics of blood sugar in women aged 16-29 years according to glucose tolerance test].

Glucose tolerance test was conducted in 370 women aged from 16 to 29 years. Adiposity proved to be accompanied by a significant accretion of the glycemia level on fasting stomach, and 1 and 2 hours after glucose load, with the increase in the excess of weight not over the normal level. Glycemia level on fasting stomach failed to differ significantly in persons with an inadequate weight from such in persons with a normal weight. In the group with a decreased weight there was a significant blood glucose elevation 1 and 2 hours after the glucose load. Genesis of the glycemia increase differed in the groups with eleveated and reduced body weight. There was found no significant difference in the distribution of 16-29-year-old women by glucose tolerance depending on the excess of body weight.
