Abstract
Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is recognized as the precursor of Type 2 diabetes and is more frequent in obese children and adolescents. Objective: In this research, we examined the prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance among obese children and adolescents. It is crucial to diagnose aberrant glucose metabolism as early as possible to prevent T2DM progression. Methods: Hospital-based research examined 163 obese kids and teens. A 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (1.75 g. of glucose/kilogram of body weight) was done on all individuals. Results: 19.0% of children and 17.0% of adolescents had impaired glucose tolerance. This research showed 16.5% (n=16) of males and 19.7% (n=13) of females had IGT. In this investigation, systolic blood pressure, physical activity, LDL, total cholesterol, and acanthosis nigricans were strongly linked to decreased glucose tolerance (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Impaired glucose tolerance is quite frequent among obese children and adolescents, and it represents a major risk of diabetes.
