“…Normal body mass index (<18.5 kg/m 2 ) and prevention of activities of daily living was associated with foot safety and prevention among adults with T2DM. Low body mass index, blood glucose, moderate physical activity and dietary intake influenced self-care behaviors [33]. It is apparent women, middle age (30-49 years), higher education (Bachelor/Master), diabetes patient education, normal body mass index (<18.5 kg/m 2 ) and prevention of activities of daily living was associated with physical activity.…”

This study aims to assess the correlation of hypertension, diabetes, obesity with gender, smoking and physical activity in two hundred and fifty students of Ajman University in the United Arab Emirates. A structured questionnaire followed by a clinical examination performed for the two hundred and fifty students at Ajman University. Each student interviewed and assessed thoroughly. BMI was categorized into normal weight (< 25 kg/m 2), Overweight (25-29.9 kg/m 2) and Obese (≥ 30 kg/m 2); readings of systolic pressure of 140 mmHg or higher or diastolic pressure of 90 mmHg or higher considered hypertensive. Statistical analysis performed using SPSS, version 23.0 and data presented as means, standard deviation (SD) and percentages. The study indicated that 13.20 % of students have hypertension and 41.6 % are pre hypertensive. The mean systolic and diastolic pressure was 120.53 ± 14.29 and 76.19 ± 8.89 mm Hg respectively. The mean fasting plasma glucose concentration in students was 95.11 ± 18.53 mg/dl. Percentages of students with overweight and obesity were 22 % and 14.85 % respectively. The prevalence of hypertension, diabetes and obesity amongst students of Ajman University was close to that observed amongst comparable age groups in the world and specifically the Arab region.

“…It is notable that risk factors for MetS are also the risk factors for T2DM and are also the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. 30 In accordance with this, we examined the association of cardiovascular risk with diabetes risk. It showed that the mean FINDRISC increase was significantly associated with hyperglycaemia and hypercholesterolemia.…”

Background: The widespread dissemination of unhealthy dietary habits, childhood-teenage obesity, and sedentary lifestyle in young adults has paved the way for public health burden metabolic syndrome and early onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and risk factors for metabolic syndrome and diabetes among young adult students. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among students of age group (18 to 25 years) studying at Manmohan Memorial Institute of Health Sciences and Central Institute of Science and Technology. The diabetes risk score of each individual was calculated by the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC tool). Independent risk factors for diabetes and metabolic syndrome were measured by multivariable logistic regression analysis. The p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant in this study. Results: A total of 825 students were recruited and 739 (89.6%) students completed the study with all the fulfilled criteria. The metabolic syndrome (Harmonized Joint Scientific Statement (HJSS) criteria) was present in 7.1%, and the most prevalent defining component was low HDL-C (78%); 74.8% of students were under low risk, 22.18% were at slightly elevated risk, 2.02% were at moderate risk, and 1.01% were at high risk of diabetes. The cardiometabolic risk factors like BMI, TC, and LDL-C were higher at a significant level (p<0.001) with an increased diabetes risk score. Independent lifestyle risk factor for metabolic syndrome was current smoking (AOR, 4.49, 95% CI 1.38-14.62) whereas, an independent lifestyle risk factor for diabetes was low adherence to physical exercise (AOR, 4.81, 95% CI, 2.90-7.99). Conclusion: Metabolic syndrome is present, although in low numbers in young adults putting them at risk to develop diabetes in the near future. Early assessment of metabolic syndrome and diabetes risk in young may provide insights for preventive and control plans for risk population.
