Dr. Aleena Abbas, Dr. Samia Abbas and Dr. Aamar Ejaz*

ABSTRACT

Objective: To study the correlation between serum glucose and BMI in undergraduate students. Material and methods: This cross sectional study was conducted at Department of Medicine, Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur in month of December 2018. Total 166 students either male or female having age from 18 years to 24 years were selected. Serum blood glucose was measured and BMI was calculated. Results: Minimum age of students was 17 years and maximum age was 23 years. Mean age of the students was 19.17 ± 1.5 years, mean BMI was 24.65 ± 6.196 and mean serum glucose level was 126.23 ± 25.56mg/dl. The Pearson correlation test showed that the level of level of serum glucose increased with increasing BMI. This positive correlation was statistically significant (r= 0.625, P= 0.000). Conclusion: Findings of current study showed a positive correlation between BMI and serum glucose levels. Significant different between mean serum glucose levels and different age groups was detected. Results of this study also showed that there is insignificant difference between serum glucose levels of male and female students.
