“…The prevalence rates for PDM and LTBI as observed in the present study is comparable to the findings in some previous studies. The prevalence of 8.2% for PDM in this study is similar to the reported 6.2% in Oke-Ogun region of Oyo state, Nigeria [32] and the 8.5% in Tamil-Nadu, India [33] but significantly different from the 13.8% recorded for periurban Uganda [34] and the 33.8% observed among recentlyarrived refugees in Atlanta, USA [35]. The high prevalence of 23.6% for LTBI in this work is also similar to the reported rates in other African countries, which ranged from 31.2% in Ethiopia [36] to 49.0% in urban Uganda [37] and 55.2% in South Africa [38]; while the American study reported 31.3% [35].…”

“…Several studies have reported the prevalence of DM among males and females in Nigeria since 1989. Erasmuset al (1988) reported no significant difference between male and female in Ilorin while the ratio of male to the female diabetic patient was reported to be 1.4:1 in Port Harcourt (Rasaki et al, 2017)reported a higher prevalence of DM in females than in males in Oke-Ogun, Nigeria. Although DOI: 10.21522/TIJAR.2014.06.02.Art007 ISSN: 2520-3088 some data are available on the comparison of the prevalence of DM among males and females in Nigeria, the comparative study of hematological parameters of male and female DM patients is rather scanty; hence this study is timely and important in providing information that will help to better the management of diabetes in Nigeria.…”
