Core Tip	The recent global rise in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in children and adolescents has been linked partly with the universal increase in childhood obesity and physical inactivity. There is paucity of information on the association of visceral adiposity index and cardiorespiratory fitness with risk of T2DM in Nigerian adolescents. This study unveiled the independent and joint associations of visceral adiposity index and cardiorespiratory fitness with the risk of T2DM in boys but not girls. It was recommended that health-promoting strategies that focus on favorable blood glucose levels, including healthy eating and aerobic-type activities should encouraged among adolescents.
