Background. Over the past two decades there has been an increase in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in children. Baseline data is needed to assess the impact of changing lifestyles on Ado-Ekiti, a previously semiurban community in Southwest Nigeria. This study was therefore conducted to assess the fasting blood glucose (FBG) of adolescents in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. Methodology. This was a cross-sectional study involving 628 adolescents from three different secondary schools in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. With parental consent, volunteers completed a structured questionnaire, and an overnight FBG was measured. Results. There were 346 males and 282 females (male : female ratio = 1.2 : 1). Their ages ranged from 10 to 19 years (mean age: 14.2 ± 1.7 years). Four hundred and forty-four (70.7%) had normal FBG, while 180 (28.7%) and 4 (0.6%) had FBG in the prediabetic and diabetic range, respectively. Female gender, age group 10-14 years, and family history of obesity were significantly associated with impaired FBG (P value <0.001, <0.001, and 0.045, resp.). Conclusion. Impaired FBG is common among secondary school adolescents and it is more prevalent among younger female adolescents (10-14 years) with positive family history of obesity.
背景。在过去二十年中，儿童2型糖尿病（T2DM）的发病率有所上升。需要基线数据来评估生活方式的改变对尼日利亚西南部一个以前的半城市社区阿多-埃基提的影响。因此，本研究旨在评估尼日利亚阿多-埃基提青少年的空腹血糖（FBG）。方法。这是一项横断面研究，涉及来自尼日利亚阿多-埃基提三所不同中学的628名青少年。在获得家长同意后，志愿者们填写了一份结构化问卷，并测量了过夜空腹血糖。结果。有346名男性和282名女性（男：女比例 = 1.2：1）。他们的年龄在10至19岁之间（平均年龄：14.2 ± 1.7岁）。444人（70.7%）空腹血糖正常，而分别有180人（28.7%）和4人（0.6%）的空腹血糖处于糖尿病前期和糖尿病范围。女性、10 - 14岁年龄组以及肥胖家族史与空腹血糖受损显著相关（P值分别<0.001、<0.001和0.045）。结论。空腹血糖受损在中学青少年中很常见，在有肥胖家族史的年轻女性青少年（10 - 14岁）中更为普遍。
