Metabolic Diseases (type Ii Diabetes, Obesity) And Physical Activity Levels Of Students Aged 13-18

Résumé: The aim of this study is to describe the level of physical activity (LPA) and its effect on obesity and type II diabetes in schoolchildren in the regions of the wilaya of Bejaia. A sample of 110 (F/G= 55/55) obese and type II diabetic (O D T II) students, aged 13 to 18 years, studied in two age groups and separately by sex, surveyed by a questionnaire, their (LPA), body mass index (BMI) and their ages of attainment of (DT II) were taken. The results of the questionnaire show that the subjects studied are inactive which coincides with the increase in their BMI. The results of the correlation test show that there is a relationship between (LPA) and (BMI). r = (-0.78) and (-0.96) for boys and girls aged 13 - 15, r = (-0.81) and (-0.92) for boys and girls aged 16 - 18. The age of onset of (DT II) for our sample varies between 11 and 15 years of age, which means that these students have been involved in diabetes since the early years of obesity. Finally, our study shows that (O D T II) in school students, due to the decrease in their (LPA), is below the recommendations required to maintain health.
