“…[28] With respect to relation between junk food intake and physical activity among students, a previously conducted study reported a significant association between daily recommended intake of food groups and physical activity levels. [29] It was also reported that almost 40% of the students had a prevalence of junk food intake at least once a week, which was similar to the present study. Another study reflected that less vegetable intake had higher levels of insufficiently physically active children.…”

Introduction: Physical activity and diet go hand in hand for the maintenance of good health. This becomes even more important in school-going adolescent students as they are readily exposed to a wide variety of junk food items inside or around their school premises and lead increasingly sedentary lifestyles as they progress through their academics. Aim and Objective: Toassess the junk food intake and physical activity level among school-going adolescents. Material and Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 800 school-based adolescents aged 12 to 14 years at AMU High Schools, Aligarh. Students were asked about their physical activity and dietary habits by disseminating a self-reported questionnaire. The data were analyzed in SPSS version 20.0. Results: The majority of the adolescents had a moderate level of physical activity (53%), while 23% of the students had high and 24% had low physical activity levels. On the analysis of the students’ dietary habits, it was found that a staggering 70.75% of students had more than the recommended intake of junk food items. The association between physical activity and junk food intake was found to be significant. Conclusion: More emphasis should be given to limiting junk food intake, increasing healthy food intake, and motivating the students to be more physically active. This can be done by encouraging the family as well as teachers at the school level and creating more spaces for children to be physically active at the community level.

“…Furthermore, the prevalence of pre-diabetes/diabetes among children, adolescents, and even younger adults is increasing at a much higher rate irrespective of socio-economic strata, and it becomes more severe because of the rising levels of obesity among them [ 6 – 8 ], physical inactivity [ 9 , 10 ], and poor dietary habits [ 11 ]. Moreover, increased levels of substance use [ 12 , 13 ] among adolescent groups have also led to risk for pre-diabetes/diabetes-associated health issues [ 10 , 14 ].…”

“…The present study utilized the different forms of obesity, which may affect the chaos of pre-diabetes/diabetes differently. Previous literature showed different measures of obesity in their studies [ 11 , 24 – 26 ]. For instance, obesity measured through body mass index [ 23 ], waist circumference [ 23 ], waist to hip ratio [ 27 ], Subscapular skinfold thickness (SSFT) [ 28 ] and Triceps skinfold thickness (TSFT) [ 28 ].…”

Background The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimated that 1.1 million children and adolescents aged 14–19 years are living with diabetes. Diabetes is a chronic, progressive disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose. It is also recognized as a complex disease that affects people of different ages due to different causes. The present study aims to estimate the prevalence of pre-diabetes/diabetes at the national level. Additionally, the respective study determines the factors associated with pre-diabetes/diabetes conditions among adolescents at the national level. Methods The data for this study was carried out from the Comprehensive National Nutrition Survey (CNNS), the first-ever nationally representative nutrition survey of children and adolescents in India. The study used a sample size of 17,865 adolescent boys and 17,965 adolescent girls for the analysis. Descriptive statistics, bivariate analysis, and logistic regression analysis were done to carve out the results. Results The prevalence of pre-diabetes/diabetes was 12.3% and 8.4% among adolescent boys and girls in India, respectively. Body mass index and Subscapular skinfold thickness were the two most important predictors of pre-diabetes/diabetes among adolescents. Further, physical activities show a negative association with pre-diabetes/diabetes. Moreover, interaction models in the present study clearly reveal the fact that adolescent girls were less likely to suffer from pre-diabetes/diabetes than adolescent boys. Additionally, it was found that the prevalence of pre-diabetes/diabetes was high among adolescent girls from lower socio-economic strata. Conclusion The high prevalence of pre-diabetes and diabetes among adolescents portrayed serious public health concern in India. As body mass index and Subscapular skinfold thickness were positively associated with pre-diabetes/diabetes conditions among adolescents. Therefore, effective approaches are needed to be taken to tackle these pre-diabetes/diabetes conditions among adolescents and especially among adolescent boys.

“…In Nigeria, similar findings have been documented, highlighting a high risk of diabetes among adolescents in various regions: Port Harcourt (17%) [ 13 ], Ibadan (4%) [ 14 ], and Osogbo (9%) [ 15 ]. The increasing prevalence of DM among children, adolescents, and young adults is attributed to rising rates of obesity [ 16 , 17 ], physical inactivity [ 10 , 18 ], and unhealthy dietary habits [ 19 ]. Additionally, an elevated risk of diabetes-related health issues is associated with increasing levels of drug use among teenage populations [ 20 , 21 ].…”

“…While numerous studies have examined diabetes knowledge in Nigeria, most have focused on adult populations, with relatively few conducted among young populations, including adolescents and young adults [ 28 , 36 , 37 ]. Adolescents and young adults are a critical demographic to study, given the global trend of increasing diabetes prevalence among this age group [ [4] , [5] , [6] ], particularly in low-income countries [ 8 , 9 ], including Nigeria [ 18 , 19 ]. Additionally, southwestern Nigeria has been identified as one of the regions with a high prevalence of diabetes, alongside south and northwestern Nigeria [ 38 ].…”
