Objective: To find out the frequency and association of gamble variables of impaired glucose tolerance among medical students.
Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Quaid-e-Azam Medical College Bahawalpur in month of March 2022 to assess the frequency of impaired glucose tolerance and the factors predisposing to the same. After necessary permissions, participants giving written informed consent were interviewed and participants were subjected to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and their heights, weights were measured.
Results: None of the participants had increased fasting blood glucose but 60 min after OGTT serum glucose levelswere increased in 79(49.37%)subjects and 120min afterOGTTserumglucosewasincreased in 15 (9.3%) subjects. There was association of age, male gender, increased BMI, positive family history of diabetes, lack of physical activity, junk food intake and smoking with impaired glucose tolerance in medical students.
Conclusions: Impaired glucose tolerance was found in a substantial number of non-diabetic medical students and had a statistically significant association with gamble variables high BMI, family foundation of diabetes middle financial class, scarce physical activity, high junk food intake and smoking
