Abstract :

 Aims and Objective:1.To study and compare fasting blood glucose levels in non diabetic obese and non diabetic non obese adolescents of age (13–17 years) including both sexes.

2.   To test the hypothesis that, being an overweight or obese is associated with early appearance of glucose and cholesterol abnormalities.

 Method:A case control and observational study was carried out in 50 adolescence, out of which 25 were non diabetic obese(cases)  and 25 were non diabetic non obese(controls)  from societies and schools of Nagpur.

Inclusion criteria– Adolescence of age gr 13–17yrs of both sexes.

Data regarding Dietary information,Physical exercise,Personal history ,Family history of Diabetes and Hypertension were collected.

Fasting blood glucose and Serum cholesterol were estimated and waist:Hip ratios and BMI were also calculated.

Result:After complete study we found that–

 Mean value of Fasting Blood Glucose in controls was 78.6mg%  and in cases was 75.56mg% and

Mean value of Serum Cholesterol in controls was 126.4mg% and in cases was 149.72mg%.

Thus, we observed that there was no significant change in average value of fasting blood glucose level amongst controls and cases. But there was increased level of total serum cholesterol in cases as compared to controls and this increase was found to be significant.

Conclusion: Total serum cholesterol levels were significantly increased in non diabetic obese adolescents as compared to non diabetic non obese adolescents.

There was no change in Fasting blood glucose levels amongst above two groups.

The present study suggests that the dyslipidemic changes (eg. Hypercholesterolemia) may be earlier to develop in  obese individuals as compared to hyperglycemia/insulin resistance.
