Predictors of Prediabetes Among Young Adults in East Java of Indonesia: A Cross-sectional Study
Subject
Age; diabetes; health risk; prevalence; young adult
Description
Background: Prediabetes is a condition that can be controlled and managed to
prevent the occurrence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This condition can occur
at all ages, especially in young adults. However, little is known about what factors
increase the risk of prediabetes in young adults in East Java, Indonesia.
Purpose: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and the influential risk
factors of prediabetes among young adults in East Java, Indonesia.
Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. The purposive sampling
technique was used to recruit young adults in East Java Province, Indonesia.
International physical activity questionnaire short-form version questionnaire
(IPAQ-SF) and physical indicators for anthropometry were used to obtain data on
sociodemographic characteristics, prediabetes knowledge, and physical activity. In
addition, blood pressure, impaired fasting glucose (IFG), and body mass index
(BMI) were measured. Multivariable logistic regression was employed in the
analysis to determine risk factors associated with prediabetes.
Results: There were 126 participants recruited, with 69 (54.8%) having
prediabetes based on IFG levels. Age (p=0.035), regular exercise (p=0.015), activity
level (p=0.026), body weight (p=<0.001), waist circumference (p=0.002), BMI
(p=<0.001) and obesity (p=<0.001) were significant factors associated with
prediabetes.
Conclusion: The high prevalence of prediabetes in young adults is associated with
age, routine exercise, activity level, body weight, waist circumference, BMI and
obesity. It is crucial to implement strategies, such as regular IFG testing, to identify
young adults with these risk factors for prediabetes screening.
