Abstract:

Obesity in childhood and adolescence represents one of the most challenging public health problems of the 21st century owing to its epidemic proportions worldwide and the associated significant morbidity, mortality and public health costs. In Greece, the prevalence of overweight and obesity in childhood and adolescence exceeds 30–35%. To address the increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents in our country, we developed the ‘National e-Health Program for the Prevention and Management of Overweight and Obesity in Childhood and Adolescence’, which provides specific and detailed guidance to all primary health care physicians about the personalized management of children and adolescents with overweight or obesity. In the present study we evaluated 2400 children and adolescents [mean age ± SEM: 10.10 ± 0.09 years.; Males: 1088, Females: 1312; Obesity (n = 1370, 57.1%), Overweight (n = 674, 28.1%), normal BMI (n = 356, 14.8%)], who followed the personalized multi-disciplinary management plan specified by the ‘National e-Health Program for the Prevention and Management of Overweight and Obesity in Childhood and Adolescence’, and were studied prospectively for 1 year. We demonstrated that at the end of the first year, the prevalence of obesity decreased by 32.1%, the prevalence of overweight decreased by 26.7%, and the cardiometabolic risk factors improved significantly. These findings indicate that our National e-Health Program is effective at reducing the prevalence of overweight and obesity in childhood and adolescence after one year of intervention in the largest sample size reported to date.

Abstract:

Socioeconomic and health disadvantages can emerge early in the life course, making adolescence a key period to examine the association between socioeconomic status and health. Past research on obesity in adolescence has focused on family measures of socioeconomic status, overlooking the role of individual-level nascent indicators of socioeconomic disadvantage. Using measured height and weight from nationally representative data from Brazil, we estimate sibling fixed effects models to examine the independent effects of nascent socioeconomic characteristics—school enrollment and work status—on adolescent overweight and obesity, accounting for unobserved genetic and environmental factors shared by siblings. Results show that school enrollment is associated with lower odds of overweight and obesity. Working is not significantly associated with overweight/obesity risk. However, adolescents not enrolled but working face the highest risk of overweight/obesity. Findings suggest that adolescents face added layers of disadvantage from being out of school, with important implications for the accumulation of health disadvantages.

Abstract:

This systematic review addressed cohort studies on obesity in childhood and adolescence and adult mortality, published from January 1990 to March 2007. We searched the PubMed database with the following uniterms: obesity, mortality, child, adolescent; obesity and mortality; overweight and mortality. References were also analyzed. The age limit was 2 to 18 years. Quality of the articles was assessed, and eight were identified and reviewed. All used weight and stature for determination of obesity, and seven used body mass index (BMI). The quality score varied from 9 to 17. Evidence of association between obesity in childhood and adolescence and adult mortality should be viewed with caution. Use of BMI and potential confounders were discussed. Further research is needed to analyze the relationship between childhood and adolescent obesity and adult mortality.

Abstract:

AbstractObesity and excess weight are a pandemic phenomenon in the modern world. Childhood and adolescent obesity often ends up in obesity in adults. The costs of obesity and its consequences are staggering for any society, crippling for countries in development. Childhood obesity is also widespread in Macedonia. Metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia and carbohydrate intolerance are found in significant numbers. Parents and grandparents are often obese. Some of the children are either dysmorphic, or slightly retarded. We have already described patients with Prader-Willi syndrome, Bardet-Biedl syndrome or WAGR syndrome. A genetic screening for mutations in monogenic obesity in children with early, rapid-onset or severe obesity, severe hyperphagia, hypogonadism, intestinal dysfunction, hypopigmentation of hair and skin, postprandial hypoglycaemia, diabetes insipidus, abnormal leptin level and coexistence of lean and obese siblings in the family discovers many genetic forms of obesity. There are about 30 monogenic forms of obesity. In addition, obesity is different in ethnic groups, and the types of monogenic obesity differ. In brief, an increasing number of genes and genetic mechanisms in children continue to be discovered. This sheds new light on the molecular mechanisms of obesity and potentially gives a target for new forms of treatment.

Abstract:

Introduction/Objective. Obese children and adolescents are exposed to stigma and discrimination from peers, teachers and family which can lead to numerous health problems, including psychosocial problems. The aim of this study is to determine whether obese adolescents in Serbia are exposed to stigmatization and which are the most common forms of stigmatization they face. Methods. The study included 335 adolescents who were hospitalized for a treatment of obesity. During hospitalization weight and height were measured, and body mass index was calculated. Participants completed independently Questionnaire about weightbased stigmatization made for the purpose of this research. Questionnaire also included questions about sex, age of respondents, and about obesity of other family members. Results. Fifty-nine percent of participants experienced offence, 19% were teased, 47.5% were subject of a gossip, and 25% were excluded from peer group; 45% reported that other people had prejudice against them. Male adolescents significantly more often faced overt forms of stigmatization/discrimination compared to female adolescents. Nineteen percent of participants were stigmatized by health workers and 6% stated that their family is ashamed of their obesity. Conclusion. A significant percent of obese adolescents is exposed to a stigma due to their weight, most often to insults, gossip and social exclusion. Obese adolescents are most often exposed to stigmatization by peers, but there are a significant proportion of adolescents who are exposed to stigma from health workers.

Abstract:

Objective: Obesity in childhood and during adolescence has repeatedly been associated with increased risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS). We aimed to investigate whether the most critical period occurs during childhood or later, during adolescence. Methods: Using a population-based case-control study (1586 cases and 2800 controls), individuals with different body sizes at age 10 and different body mass indices at age 20 were compared regarding MS risk, by calculating odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Potential interactions between HLA-DRB1*15 and absence of HLA-A*02, respectively, and both childhood and adolescent obesity were evaluated by calculating the attributable proportion due to interaction. Results: Regardless of body size at age 10, individuals with adolescent obesity had a 90% increased risk of MS. Among participants who were not obese at age 20, no association was observed between body size at age 10 and subsequent MS risk. An interaction was observed between the HLA MS risk genes and adolescent, but not childhood, obesity. Conclusions: Our results suggest that BMI during adolescence, rather than childhood, is critical in determining MS risk.

AbstractObjectivesSome factors in infancy can play a role in the development of adolescent obesity. Understanding these factors can help prevent early complications in adolescents associated with obesity in adulthood. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity among high school girls in Khorramabad and its relationship with breastfeeding history.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study. This study was conducted in 832 high school girls during the academic year 2016–2017. Samples were selected by multi-stage random sampling. General questionnaires, physical activity, and 24-h food questions were completed through interviews with students. Data regarding breastfeeding was obtained by mothers.ResultsThe prevalence of overweight and obesity in the study population was 16.3 and 5.8%, respectively. Overweight and obesity had a significant association with breastfeeding history (p = 0.001), while there was no significant relationship between overweight and obesity with school type, student’s age, parental occupation, education Parents, household size, birth rate, physical activity, and energy intake.ConclusionsThe results of this study showed that breast feeding has a protective effect on overweight and obesity during adolescence. To reduce the incidence of overweight and obesity, necessary education regarding breastfeeding should be provided.

Abstract:

Background. To examine whether adolescent depressive symptoms predict young adult body mass index (BMI) and obesity in black and white women.Method. Participants included 1554 black and white adolescent girls from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Growth and Health Study (NGHS) who completed the Center for Epidemiological Studies – Depression Scale (CES-D) at ages 16 and 18 years.Results. Regression analyses showed that depressive symptoms at both ages 16 and 18 were associated with increased risk of obesity (BMI[ges ]30) and elevated BMI in young adulthood (age 21) in both black and white girls. Black girls exhibited a significantly greater likelihood of obesity and higher BMI (i.e. a main effect of race), but the race×CES-D interaction was not significant in any analysis.Conclusions. Depressive symptoms in adolescence appear to be predictive of obesity and elevated BMI in early adulthood for both black and white girls, even when taking prior BMI into account, indicating that depressive symptoms confer risk for obesity above and beyond the known tracking of body weight. Obesity prevention studies might consider assessing depressive symptoms in adolescence in order to more fully capture important risk variables.

Abstract:

The global epidemic of childhood and adolescent obesity and its immediate as well as long-term consequences for obese individuals and society as a whole cannot be overemphasized. Obesity in childhood and adolescence is associated with an increased risk of adult obesity and clinically significant consequences affecting the cardiovascular and metabolic systems. Importantly, obesity is additionally complicated by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), occurring in up to 60% of obese children. OSA, which is diagnosed using the gold standard polysomnogram (PSG), is characterised by snoring, recurrent partial (hypopneas) or complete (apneas) obstruction of the upper airway. OSA is frequently associated with intermittent oxyhemoglobin desaturations, sleep disruption, and sleep fragmentation. There is emerging data that OSA is associated with cardiovascular burden including systemic hypertension, changes in ventricular structure and function, arterial stiffness, and metabolic syndromes. Thus, OSA in the context of obesity may independently or synergistically magnify the underlying cardiovascular and metabolic burden. This is of importance as early recognition and treatment of OSA in obese children are likely to result in the reduction of cardiometabolic burden in obese children. This paper summarizes the current state of understanding of obesity-related OSA. Specifically, this paper will discuss epidemiology, pathophysiology, cardiometabolic burden, and management of obese children and adolescents with OSA.

Abstract:

Background. Physical activity (PA) is vital for the management of weight among those with Prader Willi Syndrome (PWS). However, little is known about characteristics of PA in individuals with PWS. Objective/Hypothesis. To assess from the parent’s perspective, PA levels among individuals with PWS, their preferences for specific activities, and perceived benefits, barriers, and resources needed to participate in PA. Methods. Participants were 90 parents and caregivers of a child with PWS, predominantly in California. Survey questions included their child’s participation in different PAs, perceived benefits and barriers to enrolling their child in a PA program, and perceived needs to facilitate their child being physically active. Results. Walking was the predominant PA, representing 66% of the activity time across all age groups. Children 10-17 years old engaged in more moderate intensity PA per week than children 5-10 years old. Children 5-10 years old engaged in more vigorous PA than those 18+ years old. Parents reported that they would be encouraged to enroll their child in a PA program if it would improve their children’s motor skills and balance (78.2%) as well as stamina and strength (74.4%). Time commitment and travel were most common barriers. Less financial constraints (70.1%) and having more time (54.7%) were listed as needs. Conclusions. Similar to individuals without PWS, vigorous PA declines with age. It is recommended that caregivers and health care providers emphasize the role of vigorous and bone-strengthening PA as children with PWS approach adolescence.

T-test was used to compare subjects' meanmathematics and English performances in the two groups.Results There were 24D students who met the inclusion criteria.Since there were 40 obese subjects in the first group, we randomizedthe remaining students to obtain 40 subjects with good nutritionalstatus for the second group. Best academic performances inmathematics and English was obtained mostly by subjects in thegood nutrition group (38/40 and 39/40, respectively). Statisticalanalysis revealed a significant association of lower performances inmathematics (mean difference -2.8; 95%CI -5 to -0.6; P=0.043)and English (mean difference -1.9; 95%CI -3.5 to -0.2; P=0.001)to obesity. We also found a significant association of bettermathematics (P=0.001) and English performances (P=0.004)to the father's occupation. Additional English lessons were notassociated with higher English performances in the obese group(mean difference 0.2; 95%CI -2.9 to 3 .2; P=0.885).Conclusion Obese adolescents tend to have poorer academicperformances compared to those with good nutritional status.

Abstract Introduction Secondhand smoking (SHS) may be a risk factor for obesity in adolescence, but data on the association between SHS and obesity are scarce, especially from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the association between SHS and obesity among adolescents aged 12–15 years from 38 LMICs. Methods Cross-sectional data from 38 LMICs that participated in the Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) were analyzed. Body mass index was calculated based on measured weight and height. The 2007 WHO Child Growth reference was used to define obesity. SHS was categorized as no exposure, non-daily exposure (ie, 1–6 days), and daily exposure (ie, 7 days) based on the number of days exposed to secondhand smoke in the past 7 days. Multivariable logistic regression and meta-analyses were conducted to assess the associations. Results The analyzed sample consisted of 88 209 adolescents aged 12–15 years who never smoked. The overall prevalence of non-daily and daily SHS was 34.2% and 15.7%, respectively. After adjustment for potential confounders, compared with no SHS, there was no significant association between non-daily SHS and obesity (odds ratio [OR] = 0.94; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.86–1.02), but adolescents who reported daily SHS were significantly more likely to have obesity (OR = 1.19; 95% CI = 1.06–1.34). Conclusions The prevalence of SHS was high among adolescents in LMICs, and daily SHS was associated with a significant increase in odds of obesity. Future studies with longitudinal designs are warranted to assess causality and whether prevention of SHS can reduce the risk of obesity in adolescence. Implications In the present large multi-country study on adolescents aged 12–15 years from LMICs, nearly half of the students were exposed to non-daily or daily secondhand smoke. Overall, while non-daily SHS was not significantly associated with obesity, adolescents who reported daily SHS had a significant 1.19 (95% CI = 1.06–1.34) times higher odds of obesity than those who reported no exposure to secondhand smoke. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first multi-country study on SHS and obesity from LMICs, and also the largest study on this topic to date.

Abstract:

0006 The longitudinal data from NGHS show that physical activity (PA) fell by 35% in daily and 83% in weekly levels during adolescence, with greater decline for black (B) than white (W) girls. During these 10 years, the prevalence of obesity in NGHS doubled with higher rates in B girls than in W. The aim of this report is to examine the longitudinal association of PA and obesity development in 1213 B and 1166 W NGHS girls with annual followup from ages 9-10 to 18-19 years. Activity was assessed with a 3-day diary (AD) in tandem with a food diary and a habitual (past year) activity questionnaire (HAQ). Obesity was defined as ≥85 th percentile of the sum of skinfolds (at triceps, subscapular and suprailiac sites) using age-specific cutpoints. Longitudinal analysis (GEE) was done with the likelihood (odds ratio, OR) of obesity as the outcome measure. Predictor variables included race, visit, age of menarche, average daily energy intake, and activity (as average daily activity, AD score, in one model and average weekly activity, HAQ score, in another). Visit (age) and race were significant predictors (1.51 OR for black race) of obesity. Age of menarche, energy intake, and HAQ scores were significantly (p<0.001 for all) and inversely associated with obesity. There was no significant interaction between race and HAQ, p=0.27. However, interaction between visit and HAQ was significant (p=0.01), indicating lower OR with higher HAQ from age 15 onward. The above analyses were repeated for AD in place of HAQ. Daily activity was not significantly (p=0.37) associated with obesity risk. We conclude that habitual, rather than short-term (AD), activity exerted a significant protective effect on the risk of developing obesity during adolescence. This finding is consistent with our previously reported lack of association between daily PA and obesity development in the NGHS cohort. Habitual PA during mid- to late adolescence seems to confer a greater protective effect on obesity risk. Our study confirms the role of PA in the marked increase in obesity prevalence during adolescence. Hence, obesity prevention needs to aim at fostering habitual activity, especially for black girls.

Abstract:

Obesity in childhood and adolescence represents a major health problem. Novel e-Health technologies have been developed in order to provide a comprehensive and personalized plan of action for the prevention and management of overweight and obesity in childhood and adolescence. We used information and communication technologies to develop a “National Registry for the Prevention and Management of Overweight and Obesity” in order to register online children and adolescents nationwide, and to guide pediatricians and general practitioners regarding the management of overweight or obese subjects. Furthermore, intelligent multi-level information systems and specialized artificial intelligence algorithms are being developed with a view to offering precision and personalized medical management to obese or overweight subjects. Moreover, the Big Data against Childhood Obesity platform records behavioral data objectively by using inertial sensors and Global Positioning System (GPS) and combines them with data of the environment, in order to assess the full contextual framework that is associated with increased body mass index (BMI). Finally, a computerized decision-support tool was developed to assist pediatric health care professionals in delivering personalized nutrition and lifestyle optimization advice to overweight or obese children and their families. These e-Health applications are expected to play an important role in the management of overweight and obesity in childhood and adolescence.

Abstract:

Introduction: The continuously increasing prevalence of childhood obesity is reaching epidemic proportions. Greece is among the countries with the highest childhood obesity prevalence rates. The present study aims to identify psychosocial factors associated with excess body weight of adolescents. Methods: This case-control study was conducted in Athens, Greece, and included 414 adolescents aged 11–18 years. Anthropometric measurements were recorded, and an anonymous self-completed questionnaire captured the psychosocial background, family environment, peer relations, and school environment. Results: Of the total sample of adolescents, 54.6% had normal body weight and 45.4% were overweight or obese. A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the factors related to the presence of overweight/obesity were adolescents’ age (OR = 0.416, p < 0.001), area of residence, presence of anxiety (OR = 4.661, p = 0.001), presence of melancholia (OR = 2.723, p = 0.016), participation in sports (OR = 0.088, p <0.001), smoking (OR = 0.185, p = 0.005), and mother’s occupation (OR = 0.065, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Psychological problems, maternal occupation, the absence of physical activity, and poor school performance were associated with adolescent overweight/obesity. It is important that screening for the presence of psychosocial issues is included in childhood obesity policies and treatment.

Kata Kunci : Obesitas; Remaja;Genetik;Asupan; Sedentary Behavior Association Genetic History,Nutrients Intake,and Sedentary Behavior withObesity in High School Students in Tanah Abang sub-District Central Jakarta ABSTRACT Obesity is a condition of abnormal excess body fat. Obesity in adolescence will increase the incidence of adult obesity and it could cause some health issues. This study aims to find the dominant factor of obesity in High School students in Sub-District Tanah Abang Central Jakarta. The study design used is cross sectional, samples achieved by using the systematic random sampling with 128 students as total samples. Analysis of data includes univarate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis (multiple linear regression). The results showed that the prevalence of obesity was 33.6% with average of z-score was 1.37.The results also showed that there were differences in the average of z-score between the four categories of genetic history (p value = 0,0001). There was a significant relationship between obesity based on the value of z-score with sleep duration (p value = 0,0001, r = -0,328), sedentary behavior (0,007, r = 0,238), and nutrients intake: fat (p value = 0,0001, r = 0,425), protein (p value = 0,001, r = 0,294), carbohydrate (p value = 0,0001, r = 0,418), energy (p value = 0,0001, r = 0,568). The most dominant factor affecting the obesity is having obese mothers. The z score of respondents who have obese mothers is 0.618 higher than those who do not have obese parents. High School students who have both parents or one of the obese parents should begin to maintain a better and healthier diet and lifestyle because they have a genetic susceptibility to obesity.

Abstract:

Various cut-off points for body mass index have been proposed to assess nutritional status in adolescents. The aim of this study was to compare two methods for evaluating overweight and obesity. In 2004-5, 4,452 adolescents from the 1993 Pelotas (Brazil) birth cohort study were evaluated, representing 87.5% of the original cohort. Overweight and obesity were evaluated using the methods proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and International Obesity Task Force (IOTF). Prevalence of overweight was similar when comparing the two methods (WHO: 23.2%; IOTF: 21.6%). Prevalence of obesity was higher according to the WHO criterion (total sample: 11.6%; boys: 15.1%; girls: 8.2%) as compared to IOTF (total sample: 5.0%; boys: 5.6%; girls: 4.4%). The kappa statistic was around 0.9 for determining overweight and 0.4 for obesity. The IOTF classification showed high specificity in comparison to the WHO criterion for determining overweight and obesity. However, sensitivity was high for overweight but low for obesity. Our data show that the IOTF classification underestimates the prevalence of obesity in early adolescence.

Abstract:

Adolescent nutritional needs need to be considered because in adolescence there is rapid growth and development. Unhealthy eating habits will affect adolescent nutrition. Unhealthy foods such as fast food are consumed by teenagers. At a time when everything is modern like now, teenagers want everything to be fast, including in choosing food. Fast food is also known to the public as junk food. Junk food is defined as food waste or food that does not have nutrients for the body. Eating junk food is not only in vain, but can also damage health. Fast food comes from western countries which generally have high fat and calorie content. Many factors influence teenagers eating fast food. These factors are discussed based on research articles and book references. Factors that influence consumption of fast food include taste, price, a comfortable place, and peer influence. Fast food can increase the risk of several diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and disorders of blood fat or dyslipidemia. Obesity or obesity is experienced by many children, adolescents, and adults. Obesity occurs because of a changing lifestyle, including eating patterns that often consume fast food. Eating fast food too often does not only cause obesity. However, from obesity experienced by someone, it will increase a person's risk factors for other degenerative diseases, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and stroke.

Abstract:

Background and Objectives: Obesity has increased in recent times and attained an epidemic status worldwide. Prevalence of obesity rises during adolescence and prevention is advantageous. However, it is unknown whether rural and urban dwelling adolescents in Bayelsa State in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria have the requisite knowledge needed to prevent obesity. The objective of this studywas to determine the educational needs of urban and rural dwelling adolescents for obesity prevention. Methods: The study was a school-based cross-sectional survey, and employed multistage sampling technique to select six secondary schools across the three senatorial districts of the state. An adapted and validated sub-scaled obesity knowledge questionnaire was used to obtain data from 2,304 secondary school students. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0 was used for data analysis. Results: The total number of urban male students and rural male students was 576 (25.00%). The total number of urban female residents and rural female residents was also 576 (25.00%). The sample mean age of participants was 16.77 (SD±79), and those aged 16 years 1,043 (45.27%) were more in proportion. Generally, 756 (32.81%) of the participants had good knowledge of obesity. Specifically, subscale analysis showed that 622 (27.00%) participants had good knowledge of risk factors for obesity; 519 (22.53%) had good knowledge of complications of obesity; 659 (28.60%) had good knowledge of prevention for obesity; and 653 (28.34%) had good knowledge of meaning/assessment of obesity. Difference in mean score between urban (M= 3.80, SD = 0.44) and rural residents (M = 3.72, SD = 0.43; t = 4.63, p = 0.00, 2-tailed) was significant. Conclusion and Implications for Translation: Adolescents’ knowledge regarding obesity is generally inadequate, especially in rural areas. Adolescents need education to acquire fundamental knowledge of the meaning/assessment, risk factors, prevention, and complications of obesity for prevention. Key words: • Adolescent • Obesity prevention • Bayelsa State • Niger Delta • Nigeria  Copyright © 2020 Zibima et al.

Abstract:

The objective of the present study was to elucidate the peculiar features of hormonal and metabolic imbalance in the young and adult men depending on the time of obesity manifestation, that is in adolescence or in the mature age. It was shown that over 40% of the young and adult men with obesity developed the well-apparent testosterone deficiency regardless of the time of obesity manifestation (Me 11.2-11.7 nmol/l). The overwhelming majority of the patients showing testosterone deficiency (60-80%) made up subgroups with metabolic syndrome (MS). The young and adult men in whom obesity began to develop in adolescence exhibited a more pronounced increase of fasting blood insulin level and HOMA-IR index than the men who developed obesity in the adulthood. Only in both young and adult men who began to develop obesity in adolescence, the blood aldosterone and cortisol levels were higher than in the age-matched normal subjects. These men, unlike those with obesity starting to develop in the adulthood, had the blood aldosterone and cortisol levels shifted to the upper limit of the reference values

Abstract:

Abstract Recent data revealed that adolescent obesity appeared to be a rising problem in Cyprus. However, there is a scarcity of published data regarding fitness-related parameters, which could contribute for the presence of obesity in Cyprus’ adolescence population. The aim of the current study was to investigate the association between adolescent obesity, body composition, and fitness levels. A total of 270 high school students volunteered to participate in this cross-sectional study. Body mass and height were assessed in order to calculate body mass index, while body fat percentage was calculated by using bioelectrical impedance analysis. Physical fitness parameters were assessed through a battery of field tests. Body fat was inversely associated with cardiorespiratory fitness levels, sprint and jumping performance, as well as with the frequency of physical education class sessions per week (p<0.05). The adolescents with high body fat were found to exhibit significant reductions in all the fitness related parameters (p<0.05), except with the arm strength (p>0.05). This study is the first to uncover an inverse association between high body fat and fitness-related parameters among a sample of adolescents in Cyprus. These data can be used in order to develop effective interventions aiming to counterbalance obesity and improve the overall health and the quality of life of adolescents.

Abstract:

One of the factors causing menstrual cycle disorders was obesity. The incidence of obesity in children has increased significantly in the last three decades. Obesity in women was associated with menstrual disorders and decreased fertility in adolescence and reproductive years. Irregular menstrual cycles indicated a metabolic disorder characterized by glucose levels exceeding normal. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between glucose levels and the menstrual cycle in obese adolescents. This study was an analytical study with a chi-square approach, conducted on 52 obese adolescents with a BMI> 30 in 12th grade of SMAN 6, aged 17-18 years, who were healthy and have no history of disease and drug consumption. Sampling of fasting glucose levels used a digital tool called Easy Touch, measuring the menstrual cycle using a questionnaire, regular menstruation when the interval is 22-35 days, irregular <22 and> 35 days. Statistical test with the Fisher Test. Obese adolescents obtained normal glucose levels of 88.5%, menstrual cycles were generally not normal (61.5%) and found a significant relationship between glucose levels and the menstrual cycle with a value of p <0.026. Obesity was associated with glucose levels and menstrual cycle irregularities. It was necessary to monitor glucose levels and menstrual cycles as early as possible regarding future adolescent reproduction.
