AB  - CONTEXT: Health system is likely to encounter more adolescents with Type 2 
      diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as a consequence of obesity and sedentary lifestyle. 
      Intervention at various stages of the life cycle is needed as cumulative effect 
      of risk factors accumulated from fetal life to adult increases risk of 
      noncommunicable disease. AIMS: The aim of this study was to find out awareness 
      regarding T2DM and distribution of risk factor for T2DM in adolescents from the 
      rural areas of Wardha district, India. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional study 
      conducted in the rural area of India involves 412 adolescent boys and girls 
      selected by systematic random sampling technique. Data collected by a 
      face-to-face interview and waist-hip ratio (WHR), body mass index, random 
      capillary blood glucose (RCBG) were estimated. RESULTS: 65.1% were aware of T2DM. 
      Girls, older adolescents, higher education were associated with awareness (P < 
      0.001). Totally, 204 (49.51%) had some risk factors for T2DM, of these 191 
      (46.6%) had sedentary lifestyle, 153 (31.7%) adolescents had nutritional risk 
      factors, 69 (43.4%) boys had WHR >0.90 and 113 (71.1%) girls had WHR >0.85, 103 
      (25%) adolescents had RCBG >/=110 mg/dl, and 77 (18.7%) participants reported 
      family history of DM. CONCLUSIONS: Considering the risk factors of T2DM among 
      adolescents from the rural area, there is a need for prevention programs for 
      creating awareness related to T2DM, early identification of risk factor for T2DM, 
      and targeted interventions. The study may serve as a formative research for 
      developing and testing interventions aimed at primary prevention of T2DM among 
      adolescents from rural India.
