No significant BMI-FBG link in Bangladeshi medical students; leaves open environmental contributions to glycemia and warrants prospective studies.
Howlader et al. (2018) reported a cross-sectional. Body mass index was evaluated on Correlation between BMI and fasting blood glucose (FBG) level (p=0.65). Body mass index showed no significant correlation with fasting blood glucose (P=0.65), but was positively correlated with systolic (P<0.0001) and diastolic blood pressure (P<0.05).
