This study therefore aimed to determine the relationship between obesity and elevated blood pressure among adolescent. This is a cross-sectional study. Consenting adolescents aged 10 to 18 years completed a pretested semi-structured questionnaire. Anthropometric parameters and blood pressure were measured using standard methods. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. A total of 1000 adolescents were recruited with male to female ratio of 1:1. The mean age was 14.05±1.98 years. Early adolescence was predominant (43.3%). The prevalence of obesity was 1.3% while overweight was 4.1%. There was female preponderance for both overweight (53.7%) and obesity (53.8%). Sixty–nine (6.9%) had systolic hypertension while 50 (5.0%) had diastolic hypertension. Three (23.1%) obese and four (9.8%) overweight adolescents had statistically significant elevated systolic blood pressure in the hypertensive range (χ 2 = 11.306, p = 0.015). One (7.7%) obese and four (9.8%) overweight subjects had statistically significant elevated diastolic blood pressure (χ 2 = 9.803, p = 0.029). Routine screening for elevated blood pressure in schools is highly recommended among school-aged adolescents especially the obese and overweight. Inferential statistics was done using Chi-square and Student’s t-test for categorical and continuous variables respectively. Correlation of blood pressure with overweight and obesity was also done to know the strength of association. Logistic regression was used to examine the association between overweight and obesity and the blood pressure that were significantly associated with it. Analyses with probability value p less than 0.05 were taken as statistically significant.","PeriodicalId":13900,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Diabetes and Endocrinology","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80040860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has beneficial twin mechanisms associated with increasing insulin secretion, and decreasing insulin resistance. It has a triazine ring and become the first OHA for tetrahydrotriazine-containing agent in the category of the glimins. Case presentation: The case is 84-year-old female with T2DM and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Her HbA1c was 9.3% a year ago. Results: She was begun to receive Dulaglutide 0.75mg/week and showed 1.3% HbA1c reduction for 6 months. However, HbA1c was elevated again to 8.5%, and then she was provided Twymeeg 2000mg/day. HbA1c decreased from 8.5% to 7.5% in 3 months. [Discussion and conclusion] From combined treatments of imeglimin and other agents in the previous study, mean HbA1c reduction showed single imiglimin -0.46%, DPP-4i -0.92% and GLP-1RA -0.12%. Possible reason for the difference between the latter two suggests that multiple action mechanisms of imeglimin may be present including the enhancement of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). In contrast, she showed satisfactory HbA1c reduction by the combination of imeglimin and GLP-1RA. The pathophysiology is not clear, and future follow up the clinical progress will be required.","PeriodicalId":13900,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Diabetes and Endocrinology","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77994034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
