A Study on Prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus and the Factors Influencing among the Age Group of 20-60 Years in Urban Population of Mansurabad, Hyderabad, Telangana
Abstract
Introduction: Diabetes is a Global Emergency. One in eleven adults have diabetes and one in two adults are with diabetes un diagnosed in 2015.
Objectives: To study the prevalence of diabetes and its factors responsible among the age group of 20 to 60 years in urban area of Mansurabad, in Hyderabad.
Methods: Cross Sectional study was conducted using the semi structure schedule and data was collected from 501 individuals on religion, socio-economic status, presence of diabetes, habitual consumption of alcohol, habitual smoking, sleep duration per day, presence of stress at home/ work and also collected data on the components of Indian Diabetic Risk Score (IDRS) and later summed to obtain IDRS score ≥60 and <60. Logistic regression analyses were performed to determine significant factors influencing diabetes.
Result: Mean age of the population was 40.31 (SD+10.24), females comprised 60% (301) and males 40% (200). Socio-economic status score mean was 14.23 (SD+5.75). Eighty-eight (17.56%) individuals reported having diabetes. Four hundred and one (80%) reported they did not have diabetes. Twelve (2.39%) individuals reported they did not know their diabetic status. Approx. 36.52% (183) had IDRS score ≥60. Habitual consumption of alcohol was noted in 43.71% (219). Habitual smoking was noted in 26.74% (134). The duration of sleep less than 6 hrs per day was reported by 42.11% (211). Stress at work, or home or at both places was reported by 46.9% (235). Logistic regression analyses (adjusted model) indicated being female (odds ratio 2.23; reference ‘male’), IDRS ≥60 (odds ratio 4.26; reference IDRS <60), habitual alcohol consumption (odds ratio 2.06; reference ‘no’) and sleep duration <6 hrs. per day (odds ratio 2.07; reference ‘sleep duration 6-8 hrs. per day) were significant factors influencing diabetes.
Conclusion: Educational measures should aim at encouraging regular physical exercise, refraining from alcohol consumption and maintaining adequate sleep duration of 6-8 hrs per day.
