“…Similar result was noted in abroad also [16]. In some studies, in both home and abroad, it was noted that there was decreasing trend in the prevalence of non-communicable diseases with the increase in level of education [7,8,27,31,32]. The adults investigated for the present analysis were mostly at least graduate (58.5%).…”

“…Again, socioeconomic variables are responsible for all types of non-communicable diseases and it was reported in both home and abroad [22][23][24][25][26]. In a separate study, it was reported that obesity and NCDs were significantly associated [27].The above discussion indicted that obesity and hypertension were associated. Due to this association a question naturally arises which of the socioeconomic variables are more responsible for the prevalence of both the diseases simultaneously among elderly people of Bangladesh.…”

Hypertension is one of the components of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). It is the primary risk factor for cardiovascular disease, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack and aneurysm.The causes of hypertension are diabetes, kidney diseases, nerve damage, overactive thyroid gland, sleep apnoea, pregnancy, obesity, etc. The problem of hypertension is more prevalent among elderly people worldwide and by 2025 the majority of the elderly people will reside in developing countries [1][2][3]. The disease is rapidly emerging in developing countries [4,5].Obesity is also prevalent among elderly people and it is influenced by many socioeconomic factors [6][7][8][9][10][11]. Again, obesity and hypertension are associated and both are in increasing trend among children also [12,13]. Hypertension is highly prevalent among overweight and obese primary care patients [14,15]. It is also prevalent among middle aged men and women [16]. Thus, age can be considered as a responsible factor for hypertension. As hypertension is one type of NCDs, it has many risk factors. Some of these risk factors are socioeconomic variables. Prevalence of hypertension, awareness, and risk factors were previously studied by some authors [16][17][18][19][20][21]. Again, socioeconomic variables are responsible for all types of non-communicable diseases and it was reported in both home and abroad [22][23][24][25][26]. In a separate study, it was reported that obesity and NCDs were significantly associated [27].The above discussion indicted that obesity and hypertension were associated. Due to this association a question naturally arises which of the socioeconomic variables are more responsible for the prevalence of both the diseases simultaneously among elderly people of Bangladesh. Thus, the objective of this study was to identify the responsible factors for the prevalence of the disease.This work is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License ANN.MS.ID.000671.

The paper was to throw some light on the risk factors for diabetes disability among Bangladeshi adults of 18 years and above residing in both urban and rural areas. In investigating the adults, it was decited to cover 50.1% males and 49.9% females to maintain the national level of sex ratio in the sample. The respondents were interviewed when they were visiting some diagnostic centres in urban and semi-urban areas. The percentage of diabetic respondents included in the sample was 67% and 25.5% of them were suffering for 10 years and above, 6.4% were disable against 4.8% total disable respondents in the sample, and obese adults were 30.2%. Diabetic disable adults in the sample were 4.3%. The most responsible variable for diabetes disability was obesity followed by longer duration of diabetes, sedentary activity, smoking habit, being housewife, being married, etc. These variables were identified on the basis of risk ratio and correlation coefficients of variables and discriminant function scores. Beside these variables, rural people, Muslims, adults of ages 40-50 years, illiterate people had more risk of facing the problem of diabetes disability.
