“…In our study, we observed that 38.7% of intracerebral hemorrhage patients were defined as PreDM at admission, which is consistent with the occurrence rate of PreDM among ischemic stroke patients and the general population (Mijajlovic, Aleksic, Sternic, Mirkovic, & Bornstein, ; Vijayakumar et al, ). We found that the PreDM group had a higher risk of poor functional outcome than the non‐DM group among intracerebral hemorrhage patients.…”

“…The main objective of this study was to assess the awareness level among the ordinary people of the society who don't have much access to the continuing health education programs. The high prevalence of overweight (52.9%) and obesity (24.4%) among the participants was similar to the indings in 2019 by another Kerala prediabetes study where their prevalence of overweight and obesity was quite high (46%) in their cohort (Vijayakumar et al, 2019). Another critical inding during prediabetes screening is that 51% (n=157) had high and 42.8% (n=132) had moderate waist to hip ratio.…”

“…In terms of diabetes, for participants living in a rural area, being physically inactive, having increased waist circumference, elevated triglycerides and leucocytes levels emerged as important associated risk factors of diabetes, while in an urban area advanced age was associated with diabetes. Vijayakumar et al ( 52 ) reported that advanced age and the presence of central obesity were important risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus in an Indian study. As part of lifestyle management, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) ( 53 ) recommends focused goal-based behavioral lifestyle intervention programs for prediabetes patients, that includes 7% weight loss and physical activity (150 min of physical activity, similar in intensity to brisk walking, per week).…”
