TI  - Prevalence of type II diabetes and metabolic syndrome among overweight school 
      children in Khon Kaen, Thailand.
PG  - 56-60
AB  - BACKGROUND: Childhood obesity has been accompanied by an increase in the 
      prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) among 
      children and adolescents worldwide. OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of 
      T2DM and MetS among overweight children and adolescents in Khon Kaen province, 
      Northeast Thailand. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A cross-sectional, prospective pilot 
      study was performed in school children between 10 and 15 years of age. The weight 
      and height measurements and body mass index (BMI) calculations for 2156 school 
      children were analyzed. The BMI for the age and sex value at > or = 85th 
      percentile was considered overweight and the overweight children were evaluated 
      for family history of diabetes, signs of insulin resistance, plasma fasting 
      glucose and lipid level. RESULTS: Five hundred and ninety four (27.6%) overweight 
      children were identified, of whom 186 (31.3%) participated in the present study. 
      T2DM was documented in 4 (2.2%) while MetS was documented in 6 (3.2%) children. 
      At least one type of dyslipidemia was found in 87 (46.8%) children. CONCLUSION: 
      T2DM and MetS are common among overweight school children in Khon Kaen, Thailand 
      Preventive interventions to reduce overweight and consequently prevent T2DM in 
      Thai children should be provided at school and the community level.
