Propensity for Diabetes and Correlation of its Predisposing Factors in Ota, Nigeria

~ 31150a66b7e16345d4a472b555a07827.200x200
Body Mass Index (BMI) and Random Blood Glucose (RBG) are considered important predisposing factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. This study assessed the propensity to become diabetic based on the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI), Random Blood Glucose (RBG), gender and age in a community in South west Nigeria. The study included a convenient sample size of 140 healthy adult...
