The present study deals with the personality and vocational interests of the high school students. Relationship between personality and vocational interests and the degree of agreement between vocational aspirations and vocational interests of the students were carried out in the current study. The differences with respect to demographical variables on personality and vocational interests were also explored. The main study was conducted on the sample of 596 students (319 male and 277 female students with a mean age of 15.73 years) belonging to 7 government schools. There were 303 students belonging to science group and 292 students belonging to Arts group. The different relationships between the personality and vocational interests were assessed through a series of statistical analysis of Correlation, Multiple regression analysis, t test and One Way Analysis of Variance. The Alpha reliabilities of main domains of NEO PI-R range from .36 (Openness) to .84 (Conscientiousness). The Alpha reliabilities for scales of Self Directed Search (SDS) range from .53 to .68 for Activities, .55 to .66 for Competencies, .76 to .81 for Occupations, and .71 to .80 for summary scales. The results established the psychometric properties of the instruments. A moderate relationship was found between FFM and Holland model. The study identified the vocational preferences of students with respect to demographical variables. The results revealed significant gender differences on personality and vocational interests. The study also determined the vocational aspirations of the students and found the degree of agreement between vocational aspirations and vocational interests for most preferred careers. The results revealed a moderate state of congruence for careers (doctor and teacher) and a state of incongruence for some careers (army, lawyer, and engineer). The findings of the study are also reinforced from the opinion of experts. Some pertinent areas were identified for future research. The present research contributed both for theory and practice. The findings may be valuable in the field of career counseling as well as for policy makers in the field of education.

Early Onset Type 2 Diabetes and Associated Risk Factors

Background: The incidence of type 2 diabetes in patients below the age of 40 (early onset diabetes) is markedly on the rise and has been linked increased prevalence of risk factors such as the metabolic syndrome and family history of diabetes. Objective: To determine the proportion of patients with type 2 diabetes at Aga Khan University Hospital Nairobi (AKUHN) who have early onset type 2 diabetes and the association of age of onset with risk factors (family history of diabetes, obesity, waist circumference, hypertension, low HDL cholesterol and hypertriglyceridaemia) in this group of patients. Methods: This was a cross sectional study. All adult patients with type 2 diabetes presenting to the AKUHN diabetic clinic from 1 February to 30 April 2012 who consented to participate were included. A data collection form was completed documenting patient demographics, anthropometric measurements and fasting lipid profile. Results: A total of 140 patients were recruited. Males comprised 59.3%. Mean age at diagnosis was 48.1 years. The proportion of patients with early onset Diabetes was 24% (95%CI 17%-31%). Patients with early onset diabetes were more likely to have a relative with diabetes compared to the usual onset group (OR 3.58; p< 0.009). There was a positive association with early onset diabetes and having a first degree relative with diabetes (OR 3.92; P<0.007) and having two relatives with diabetes (OR 5.11; P<0.017). Patients with early onset diabetes were more likely to have hypertriglyceridaemia (OR 1.82; p<0.187). This study did not find a positive association with early onset of diabetes and abdominal obesity (OR 0.74; P<0.600), hypertension (OR 0.3; P<0.004), abnormal BMI (OR 0.61; P<0.448) or low HDl-Cholesterol (OR 1.01; P<0.982). Conclusion: There is a high proportion of early onset type 2 diabetes in this study population which was associated with having a family history of diabetes, a first degree relative with diabetes and more than one diabetic relative.
