| Summary: | Obesity in children has now reached epidemic levels. The cause of obesity is
multifactorial. One consequence of obesity is the occurrence of impaired fasting
glucose even type 2 diabetes mellitus through mechanisms of insulin resistance. The
purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between obesity and fasting
blood glucose levels in children age 10-12 years.
This study was part of a multicenter study to determine the prevalence of
obesity in primary school children in several major cities in Indonesia. We conducted
a cross-sectional study examining fasting blood glucose levels in 53 obese group and
53 non-obese group children age 10-12 years.
There are 8 (7.5%) children in the obese group and 7 (6.6%) children in nonobese
group with impaired fasting glucose. No child with type 2 diabetes was in both
groups. The risk of impaired fasting glucose in the obese group was 1.14 times (95%
CI: 0.35 to 3.96) than non-obese group. Based on the ratio of waist circumference to
height, risk of impaired fasting glucose in the central obesity group was 1.21 times
(95% CI: 0.98 to 2.94) than non central obesity group. |
