Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 23
Abstract
BACKGROUND Prevalence of diabetes in India is 9.1%. Diabetes and its complications are major causes of early death. According to International Diabetes Federation (IDF) approximately 5.1 million people aged between 20 and 79 years died from diabetes in 2013, accounting for 8.4% of global all-cause mortality among people in this age group. This estimated number of deaths is similar in magnitude to the combined deaths from several infectious diseases which are major public health priorities, and is equivalent to one death every six seconds. Diabetes imposes a large economic burden on individuals, families and national health system. The aim and objective of the study is to assess the risk factors of diabetes among diagnosed diabetic patients in field practice area of medical college in Aurangabad, Maharashtra. MATERIALS AND METHODS A community-based case control study was conducted in field practice area of medical college in Aurangabad during the period of July 2015 to October 2016. RESULTS High WHR (89% cases, 67.6% controls), high BMI (70.3% cases, 33.1% controls) were significantly associated with diabetes mellitus with a p< 0.05. Risk factors like inadequate physical activity (61.4% cases, 13.1% controls) and family history of DM (38.6% cases, 6.9% control) were also found to be significant. CONCLUSION Multiple Logistic Regression analysis showed that BMI, WHR, Family history of Diabetes and Physical inactivity were significantly associated with occurrence of Diabetes.
