“…A rapid transition was seen in several developing countries. In rural Bangladesh, diabetes increased from 2.3 to 6.8% in 5 years (20). In suburban and rural areas in Nepal (21), Pakistan (22), and South Korea (9), diabetes increased as a result of urbanization.…”

OBJECTIVE -To compare prevalence of diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), impaired fasting glucose (IFG), and cardiovascular risk factors between a city, a town, and periurban villages (PUVs) in southern India and to look for temporal changes in the city and PUVs.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS -Subjects aged Ն20 years were studied in Tamilnadu, India, in Chennai (city, n ϭ 2,192; 1,053 men and 1,138 women), Kanchipuram (town, n ϭ 2,290; 988 men and 1,302 women), and Panruti (PUVs, n ϭ 2,584; 1,280 men and 1,304 women) in 2006. Demographic, socioeconomic, and anthropometric details; blood pressure; physical activity; diet habits; and lipids were studied. Risk associations with diabetes were analyzed using multiple logistic regression analyses. Present and previous data in the city and the PUVs were compared.RESULTS -Mean BMI, waist circumference, and family history of diabetes were significantly lower in the PUVs. The PUVs had a lower prevalence of diabetes (9.2 [95% CI 8.0 -10.5], P Ͻ 0.0001) than the city (18.6 [16.6 -20.5]) and town (16.4 [14.1-18.6]). Approximately 40% of subjects were newly diagnosed. Prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) was higher (P Ͻ 0.0001) in the city (7.4 [6.2-8.5]) than in the town (4.3 [3.3-5.3]) and the PUVs (5.5 [4.6 -6.5]). Prevalence of IFG was generally low. Age, family history, and waist circumference were significantly associated with diabetes, while physical activity was not. Overweight, elevated waist circumference, hypertension, and dyslipidemia were more prevalent in the city.CONCLUSIONS -In the city, diabetes increased from 13.9 to 18.6% in 6 years and IGT decreased significantly. The town and city had similar prevalences; the PUVs had lower diabetes prevalence, but prevalence had increased compared with that in a previous survey. Cardiometabolic abnormalities were more prevalent in urban populations.

Abstract:Like elsewhere, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an increasingly important cause of morbidity and mortality in Bangladesh. Over the past few decades, because of epidemiological transition, the prevailing disease pattern in this country changed from predominantly communicable to predominantly non-communicable disease, CVD contributes to the latter a lot. Actually, CVD particularly coronary artery disease (CAD) is getting epidemic proportion day by day. Hypertension and heart failure are on the rise, whereas the prevalence of acute rheumatic fever is declining. However, despite some efforts, reliable data concerning various aspects of CVD is inadequate at present. The current prevalence of hypertension, CAD, rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease and stroke may be 20-25%, 4-6%, <1/1000, 0.3-1.0% respectively. Besides conventional risk factors for different CVD, genetic predisposition and some novel issues like high salt intake, arsenicosis, hypovitaminosis D and air pollution may play important role in the aetiopathogenesis of CVD in this population. Formulation of appropriate policy and more emphasis on preventive strategy may help combat CVD in Bangladesh.

“…Various studies in Bangladesh have reported that the prevalence of diabetes is from 4 to 13% among adults with some variations by rural and urban settings. [3][4][5] There are about 1 billion Muslims in the world and more than 50 million people with diabetes fast during Ramadan. 6 Fasting is obligatory for all healthy adult Muslims during Ramadan.…”

54.7 ± 11.55 (range 35-80) years and mean duration of diabetes was 5.5 ± 5.2 years (range 9 months-18 years). In this study mean weight of the patients decreased significantly from 60.5 ± 12.6 kg to 58.5 ± 11.3 kg (p<0.001). Blood pressure reduced but not significantly. Fasting blood glucose showed significant reduction from 10.7 ± 4.2 to 8.9 ± 3.7 mmol/L (p=0.002) Fasting in Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. During this month all adult Muslims abstain not only from eating, drinking, smoking and sexual relations but also from oral drug intake and nutritional intravenous injection from sunrise (dawn) to sunset. 1 Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by high level of blood glucose resulting from defects in insulin production and/or insulin action.
