Risk factor of type 2 diabetes mellitus among adolescents from rural area of India

Abstract

Context:Health system is likely to encounter more adolescents with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as a consequence of obesity and sedentary lifestyle. Intervention at various stages of the life cycle is needed as cumulative effect of risk factors accumulated from fetal life to adult increases risk of noncommunicable disease.Aims:The aim of this study was to find out awareness regarding T2DM and distribution of risk factor for T2DM in adolescents from the rural areas of Wardha district, India.Methodology:A cross-sectional study conducted in the rural area of India involves 412 adolescent boys and girls selected by systematic random sampling technique. Data collected by a face-to-face interview and waist-hip ratio (WHR), body mass index, random capillary blood glucose (RCBG) were estimated.Results:65.1% were aware of T2DM. Girls, older adolescents, higher education were associated with awareness (P < 0.001). Totally, 204 (49.51%) had some risk factors for T2DM, of these 191 (46.6%) had sedentary lifestyle, 153 (31.7%) adolescents had nutritional risk factors, 69 (43.4%) boys had WHR >0.90 and 113 (71.1%) girls had WHR >0.85, 103 (25%) adolescents had RCBG ≥110 mg/dl, and 77 (18.7%) participants reported family history of DM.Conclusions:Considering the risk factors of T2DM among adolescents from the rural area, there is a need for prevention programs for creating awareness related to T2DM, early identification of risk factor for T2DM, and targeted interventions. The study may serve as a formative research for developing and testing interventions aimed at primary prevention of T2DM among adolescents from rural India.

Effectiveness of Mobile Application for Promotion of Physical Activity Among Newly Diagnosed Patients of Type II Diabetes – A Randomized Controlled Trial

“…The mean waist and hip circumference were found to be 95.52 ± 10.07 and 98.58 ± 7.48 cm , respectively. The mean waist-hip ratio was 0.97 ± 0.62, which is very much similar to the study done by Gaidhane et al [ 14 ] as they found it 0.89. The mean SBP and DBP were 128.79 ± 10.69 and 80.29 ± 8.08, respectively.…”

Assessment of obesity indices for prediction of hyperglycemia in adult population of Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh), India

“…For optimum subject compliance and convenience, RCBG levels were measured with Glucometer (Dr. Morpen GluoOne Model BG-03), following all aseptic precautions and under instrument recommended guidelines. [8,18,19] RCBG < 140 mg/ dl was considered as normal and ≥140 mg/dl was taken as hyperglycemia to classify subjects. [19] Weight (Wt) and height (Ht) were measured by resident doctors of the department.…”

“…A wall mounted stature meter (EasyCare, Krives international limited) was used to measure Ht of subjects to nearest 0.5 cm. [19] Non-flexible measuring tape (Futaba, India) was used for measuring WC at the level between lower border of costal margin and iliac crest. BMI (Kg/m 2 ) was calculated from Wt and Ht data and following criteria were applied -<18.5 -Underweight; 18.5-22.9 -Normal; 23-24.9 -Overweight and ≥25 -obese.…”

Green synthesis and in silico characterization of 4-Hydroxy-3- methoxybenzaldehyde Schiff bases for insulysin inhibition – a potential lead for type 2 diabetes mellitus

“…The World Health Organization projects that diabetes will be the 7th leading cause of death in 2030 (Mathers et al, 2006). Diabetes is one of the leading causes for renal failure, visual disability, and progressive loss of vision, heart diseases, vascular and neurological disease processes manifested as diabetic foot disease which leads to amputation (Chigurupati et al, 2019;Gaidhane et al, 2017). There is now ample evidence that it is possible to avoid type 2 diabetes (which accounts for over 90% of diabetes worldwide) (Dagogo-Jack, 2017).…”
