[Association of childhood and adolescents obesity with adult diabetes].
摘要
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between obesity in children and diabetes in adults from a cohort study, and further more to explore the necessity of preventing diabetes by controlling obesity in children. METHODS: In 1987, 3 198 children and adolescents aged 6-18 were recruited from 6 elementary schools and 6 high schools located in 3 districts (Chaoyang, Haidian, and Xicheng) of Beijing using stratified cluster sampling design. The physical examination process included physical development test, blood pressure measurement, and questionnaire investigation. All children were invited to participate in the study, except for those who had history of congenital heart disease, chronic kidney disease, and limb disability. A total of 1,225 adults were enrolled in a prospective follow-up study from March 2010 to July 2012, anthropometric measures and blood sample were obtained. The obesity was defined by the following criteria: for children aged 6, the age-and the gender-specific 95th percentile of BMI from the US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention Growth charts 2000 as the baseline; for children age 7-18, recommendation from Working Group on Obesity in China (WGOC) as the standard; for adults, BMI≥28 kg/m(2) as the diagnosis standard. Diabetes was defined based on fasting plasma glucose(FPG) ≥7.0 mmol/L or 2 hours postprandial blood glucose (2 h PG) ≥11.1 mmol/L or glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥6.5% or current using blood glucose-lowering agents or current using insulin. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association obesity in children with diabetes in adults. RESULTS: The prevalence of diabetes diagnosed by FPG and 2 h PG in adults who were obese children (16.2%, 18/111) was higher than those who were non-obese children (5.6%, 62/1,114)(χ(2)=18.76, P<0.001). The prevalence of diabetes diagnosed by HbA1c in adults who were obese children(18.1%,20/111) was higher than those who were non-obese children (6.9%, 77/1,114) (χ(2)=16.66, P<0.001). With
