“…Meitei are presumably formed by the admixture of Koomal, Looang, Moirang and Meitei, all of whom are reported to have arrived at different periods of time, coming from different directions and now represent the clans of the community [23]. While the Naga are the indigenous tribal population of Manipur, they belong to the Naga-Kuki-Chin group of the Tibeto-Burman linguistic family and are believed to have migrated to Manipur probably between 300 and 400 years ago from Burma [26]. …”

BackgroundType 2 Diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HT) are among the most common non-communicable chronic diseases in developed and developing countries around the world. The study reports the prevalence of DM and HT and its influence from its possible risk factors.MethodsIndividuals of both sexes (Male-1099, Female-669) belonging to six different populations were randomly selected and screened for diabetes and hypertension following from different districts of Manipur, which is a small hilly state, situated in the north eastern extreme corner of India sharing an international boundary with Myanmar (Burma). “Diabetes mellitus” and “hypertension” were defined by the American Diabetes Association and the Joint National Committee’s 7th Report guidelines, respectively.ResultsThe overall prevalence of diabetes and hypertension in the entire study population was found to be 16.63% and 18.16% respectively. About 13.8% individuals had shown co-prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension. The association of Diabetes Mellitus with different risk factors such as consumption of alcohol and difference in physical activities were found to be statistically significant. The association of Diabetes Mellitus with different populations and age groups are also statistically significant. The association between Hypertension with different populations and different physical activities were also found to be statistically significant.

“…These three blood group systems are quite useful for studying population affinities on account of their high polymorphic content. The populations included were Khmer, Vietnamese, Chinese-1 (Mainland Chinese, mainly Han), Thai, Filipino, Indonesian (Bali), Burmese, Malay-M (mainland Malaysia), Chinese-2 (Singapore), Malay-S (Singapore), Munda, Tibetan, Sikkimese, Bhutanese, Nepalese, Santal, Khasi, Meities, Ahoms, Negritos, and Toba Batak (Nakajima et al, 1963;Chandanayingyong et al, 1967;Mya-Tu et al, 1971;Blake et al, 1973;Hawkins et al, 1973;Hawkins, 1974;Bhattacharjee, 1975;Mourant et al, 1976;Breguet et al, 1982a,b;Windhof and Walter, 1983;Das et al, 1985;Singh et al, 1986;Hoang et al, 1987;Mukherjee et al, 1987;Saha, 1987Saha, , 1989Roychoudhury and Nei, 1988;Saha and Tay, 1990). All populations except the last two, Negrito and Batak, are regarded as Mongoloid.…”

A sample of the Khmer population from Cambodia has been examined for 30 single-gene characters (10 blood groups and 20 serum and red cell systems). A locus-by-locus comparison suggests that the Khmers differ significantly in several systems from the populations of Eastern India and China. There is remarkable heterogeneity among their geographical neighbors. To elucidate the genetic relationship of the Khmer, genetic data were collected from various published and unpublished sources, and different multivariate analyses were performed. The analyses show that the Khmers definitely show closer affinity for the neighboring populations of Thailand and Malaysia. The Chinese population not only shows a close relationship to the Khmers, but also consistently stays close to the populations of the Southeast Asian peninsula. The present-day Khmers are genetically distant from the population of Eastern India, but the analyses do not totally exclude gene flow from Eastern India. It is, therefore, concluded that the original gene pool of Khmers may have derived from China, being modified by mixing with the local and Indian migrant populations. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

“…Recent studies have shown that modern handheld glucose measuring devices have excellent technical characteristics and yield results that are similar to the reference laboratory methods. Furthermore, various studies have reported that capillary glucose measurements are as suitable as venous glucose measurements in the diagnosis and detection of type 2 DM in epidemiological studies and may be cost effective in the implementation of pre-screening procedures [16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends screening for Type 2 DM by using a verbal or written questionnaire to select high-risk individuals to increase the costeffectiveness of testing undiagnosed individuals [23].…”

Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is among the most common non-communicable chronic diseases in developed and developing countries around the world.The present study was conducted to find out associated risk factors, awareness of basic knowledge regarding risk factors, treatment and complications of diabetes among different populations of Manipur. Methods Individuals of both sexes belonging to three different populations were randomly selected and screened for diabetes from different districts of Manipur, which is a small hilly state, situated in the north eastern extreme corner of India sharing an international boundary with Myanmar (Burma). DM was defined according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommendations as FBS>126 mg/dl ororal glucose tolerance test OGTT2>200 mg/dl. Results Majority of the present studied diabetic individuals were males i.e., 65.31%. About 30.27% had family history of diabetes. The prevalence of diabetes is more in meat eaters. Muslims shows highest percentage of overweight diabetic individuals i.e. 36.2%. Only 42.18% of diabetic individuals had basic knowledge regarding risk factors, treatment and complications of diabetes. Conclusion Large scale epidemiological studies for other populations need to be undertaken to ascertain the causes of rising DM epidemic, initiative for reducing or if possible, some serious efforts must be taken by the Government, health planners to promote physical activity, changing societal perceptions of health and improving knowledge about their associated risk factors by discussing it with the general public.
