It is anticipated that most patients will fall in the age range of 20-75 years. All patients, who are newly detected diabetes patients, from the year of 2012 of the BIRDEM General hospital in Bangladesh are requested to fill up a form of the Patients History Sheet.

After controlling one by one fifteen risk factors, it is examined that there is relationship between age and type-2 diabetes. Moreover, fifteen models are considered by controlling individual outcomes to find out the confounding factors. Physical activities, occupation, family history of diabetic patients, Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) (>140mm Hg), and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) (<70 mm Hg) are confounders for the association of diabetes and age among Bangladeshis. None of the model showed the significant effect of sex, marital status, number of family members and smoking status on the relationship.
