Keywords:
Prediabetes, diabetes, early adolescence, late adolescence.Abstract
Introduction: The prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes in adolescents in the Dominican Republic is unknown and yet its adult population has a high incidence of diabetes and prediabetes accompanied by the obesity epidemic that plagues the country, both adults and adolescents.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of normal metabolic states, prediabetes and diabetes based on fasting blood glucose values in adolescents aged 10 to <19 years studied in the Clinical Laboratory of the Costa Norte Medical Specialty Center in Nagua.
Material and Methods: A cross-sectional correlational descriptive analysis was carried out according to fasting blood glucose levels in 2053 adolescents as a group, by sex and by stages of adolescence to quantify their metabolic states.
Results: The results show that 70 % were detected with a normal metabolic status, 18 % with prediabetes and 12 % with diabetes with a predominance of women. In the early adolescent stage, women predominated over men in the normal and diabetes state, and no differences were found for prediabetes. In the late adolescent stage, the female sex showed a higher prevalence in the three metabolic states.
Conclusions: The prevalence of prediabetes in Dominican adolescents is high and coincides with that reported in the United States, and was more common in females. Adolescents have a higher prevalence of prediabetes than adults in the country, but almost similar in diabetes.Downloads
