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. © 2015 i. o. oluwayemi et al.
