Authors : Belounis Rachid .

Abstract

The prevalence of diabetes continues to grow across the world at an epidemic pace. It concerns adults as well as children, women and men, affecting all continents and all social classes. The WHO forecasts for 2025 an increase of the 150 million diabetics registered in 1995. Algeria is not immune to this pandemic; it is among the group of high prevalence countries. Diabetes ranks fourth in the ranking of non-communicable diseases. The objective of this study is to estimate the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in-school adolescents and to show the interactions between several factors including overweight, physical inactivity and high blood pressure. It is a cross-sectional and descriptive survey, which concerns a representative sample of students aged between 15 and 18, enrolled in public high schools dependent on the Algiers Academy. The number of subjects required is estimated at 2355 students. Information was collected on students' sedentary lifestyle, weight, height, waist circumference, blood pressure and fasting blood sugar. After multivariate analysis, multiple and significant relationships were demonstrated concerning the pathology studied with possible risk factors. The study found an obesity-pathogenesis relationship of diabetes (p <0.001), the prevalence of high blood pressure increased with obesity and diabetes (p <0.001). The prevalence observed in girls is slightly higher than that of boys (p <0.03). Our study concludes, contrary to popular belief, that the prevalence of type 2 diabetes is not negligible in this segment of the population. It reflects the tendency of adolescents to be overweight and obese. This weight gain which is itself a direct consequence of a sedentary lifestyle and dietary imbalance.
