“…A review study in Nigeria showed one of the risks factors for the pooled prevalence of DM was a family history of DM (4.6%; 95% CI 3.5-5.6) [40]. Other studies reported a family history of DM as a risk factor for contracting DM [41,42].…”

“…Also, aging has been shown to induce a decrease in insulin sensitivity and inadequate response of β-cell functional mass and is also associated with a decrease of β-cell proliferative capacity [44,45]. Besides, studies in Africa have shown the association between increasing age and prevalence of DM [40,41,[46][47][48].…”

“…This projected increase has been attributed mainly to unhealthy lifestyle habits such as smoking and alcohol [61]. Studies have reported the association between alcohol and smoking as risk factors for DM prevalence [40,41,46,60,[62][63][64].…”

Introduction: The prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is currently reported to be on the increase in the school environment among teachers and students in Africa. This review highlighted the current state of DM in primary and secondary schools in Africa. Methods: The review assessed critical literature on African Journals Online, Google Scholar search, PubMed, Medline, and Science Direct as well as information available about DM in the Africa continent. Relevant search terms included prevalence of DM in primary schools, the prevalence of DM in secondary schools, prevalence of DM among teachers and students, knowledge of DM among teachers and students, risk factors of DM among teachers and students in Africa. Results: The review highlighted the prevalence of T2DM among teachers, while prediabetes and T1DM were reported among students. Furthermore, only two studies were identified to assessing knowledge of DM among teachers while few studies reported poor knowledge of DM among students. Conclusion: The issue of DM in both primary and secondary schools should be given the needed attention by the concerned stakeholders. This is because of the possible escalation of T1DM and T2DM within the school environment in Africa in the nearest future.

“…As potential risk factors, well proved in the literature authors reported alcoholism, nicotinism, high bodymass index (BMI) and family history. (3) Diabetes mellitus may cause several different complications during course of the disease. One of the most common is peripheral neuropathy (DPN) causing damage to the peripheral sensory and motor nerves even in mild to moderate course of the disease.…”

BackgroundDiabetes mellitus type II (DMII) causes many complications, including retinopathy and peripheral neuropathy. These complications are well understood and believed to contribute to gait instability and increase the risk of falls. Poor balance control and increased falling risk have also been reported in people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Patients with DPN are at an increased risk of falling due to the decreased proprioceptive feedbacks. Effective balance training should improve instabilities of postural control in patients with DPN. For this purpose, evaluations and balance training was designed. MethodsThe goal of our study was to establish values for proprioception, balance, muscle coordination and strength in patients with DMII and analyze whether biofeedback balance training using the Biodex Balance System can improve those parameters. To predict fall risk parameters such as overall stability index, the index of frontal-posterior and medial-lateral stability measurements were obtained. 37 patients with diagnosed type II diabetes mellitus were recruited to this study. Their results were compared with control group consisting of 41 healthy participants who were homogenic to the study group in terms of age and body mass index (BMI). ResultsStatistically significantly worse results for all three stability indexes in patients with diabetes compared to healthy subjects. For both the overall stability index and the index of frontal-posterior and medial-lateral stability (p < 0.05). There was statistically significant improvement in static balance with visual control in study group who received training with biological feedback. A statistically significant improvement was observed for all 3 stability indices (p <0.05). There was a statistically significant increase in the risk of falling in people with diabetes compared to healthy individuals. Statistically significant decrease in the risk of falling was observed in the study group who had undergone training with biofeedback (p <0.05). ConclusionsThis study found decreased balance and motor coordination and an increasing risk of falling in patient with type II diabetes that improved after training with biofeedback. Furthermore we established an age-dependent deprivation of static balance and an increased risk of falling as a result of increasing BMI. Trial registrationThis study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. Registration number: NCT04484480

“…The presence of family history for DM, overweight, and obesity increases the probability of acquiring type 2 DM. [ 5 ] The primary care plays a great role for DM and HTN and considered as one of the most effective strategy in reducing morbidity, disability, and premature mortality of both HTN and DM. [ 6 ] Investigating the impact of HTN and DM on the kidneys is important for health planners, clinicians, and academics.…”

Background: Hypertension is one of the major world health problems. Ultrasonography plays a useful role in the assessment of morphologicalchanges at the kidneys in hypertensive patients. Aim: To assess sonographic findings of the kidneys in hypertensive patients’ co-morbidities with type 2 diabetes mellitus and ischemic heart disease (IDH). Materials and Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study involved 100 participants with primary hypertension selected by a method of simple convenient sampling. The patients were examined using ultrasonography to assess the sonographic findings of the kidneys. The renal length, corticomedullary differentiation (CMD), and renal artery diameters were assessed. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS version 23.0) was used in data analysis. Results: The length of the right kidney was 8.9850 ± 1.01 cm and 9.48 ± 0.98 cm for the left kidney. Among the hypertensive patients, the incidence of hypertension was highest in housewives (27%) and students (23%) as compared with the other groups. The sonographic findings were 18% affected with simple renal cysts, 7% poor CMD, and the majority had normal kidneys. Significant correlation was found between age and sonographic findings of kidneys ( r = 0.21, P value = 0.033). Conclusion: Simple renal cysts, poor CMD, and stenosis of renal arteries were most common sonographic findings in hypertension. Simple renal cystshad a significant association with hypertension.
