Background: Tobacco is the only legal drug that kills many of its users when used exactly as intended by manufacturers. WHO has estimated that tobacco use (smoking and smokeless) is currently responsible for the death of about six million people across the world each year. Although often associated with ill-health, disability and death from non-communicable chronic diseases, tobacco smoking is also associated with an increased risk of death from communicable diseases. This study was conducted with aim to observe the current pattern of tobacco use in a rural block of north India. Methods: The study was conducted in Lakhanmajra block (rural) of Haryana, India, in year 2015-2016 among 1000 study subjects aged 15-64 years selected by systematic random sampling technique. Results: The overall prevalence of current tobacco-smoking use to be 12.8% and it was higher among males (11.2%) as compared to females (3.2%). The median age for initiation of smoking tobacco was 18 years, smokeless tobacco was 20 years. Conclusions: Our study stresses is the need to have rural orientation in the National Tobacco Control Programme since the poorly educated individuals living in rural areas are at the maximum risk of using tobacco, identifying ways and means of reaching out to these communities will be critical to the success or failure of the program.

A B S T R A C TPurpose: The aim of this study was to assess the awareness of the people visiting eye care institute with various aspects of diabetes. Method: Cross sectional survey was carried out during January to March 2018. Survey instrument was developed with the help of experienced faculty, and literature review. Random sampling was done to identify individual. Participants were considered aware if they were aware of the fact that diabetes could be identified by blood or urine tests. Participants were considered diabetics if they reported being on medication for diabetes. Data was collected by means of personal interview with the participants. Result: 530 participants were interviewed. A total of 482 (90.9%) participants were aware of diabetes. Of them, 156 (32.4%) respondents were diabetics, and 326 (67.6%) were non diabetics. Overweight 156 (32.4%), and family history 119 (24.7%) were the most common risk factor identified by participants. Among complications, the kidney was cited by 218 (45.2%), and eyes was cited by 228 (47.3%). Only 40 (25.6%) diabetic, and 45 (13.8%) non diabetic participants were aware about diabetic retinopathy. 201 (41.7%) participants knows that taking healthy food can prevent diabetes. Knowledge about diabetes (34.4%) and time (29.3%) were identified as major barrier to diabetes screening. Conclusion: This study shows that the majority of people visiting a tertiary eye care institute were aware of diabetes. However their knowledge about its risk factors, complications, prevention, and management was poor. Integrated approach among various healthcare providers is required in creating awareness about all aspects of diabetes.

Aim India contributes towards a large part of the worldwide epidemic of diabetes and its associated complications. However, there are limited longitudinal studies available in India to understand the occurrence of diabetes complications over time. This pan-India longitudinal study was initiated to assess the real-world outcomes of diabetes across the country.Methods The LANDMARC study is the first prospective, multicentre, longitudinal, observational study investigating a large cohort of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus across India over a period of 3 years. The primary objective of this ongoing study is to determine the proportion of people developing macrovascular diabetes complications over the duration of the study (36 months AE 45 days) distributed over seven visits; the secondary objective is to evaluate microvascular diabetes complications, glycaemic control and time-to-treatment adaptation or intensification. Overall, 6300 participants (aged 25-60 years) diagnosed with type 2 diabetes for at least 2 years will be included from 450 centres across India. Data will be recorded for baseline demographics, comorbidities, glycaemic measurements, use of anti-hyperglycaemic medications and any cardiovascular or other diabetes-related events occurring during the observational study period.Conclusions The LANDMARC study is expected to reveal the trends in complications associated with diabetes, treatment strategies used by physicians, and correlation among treatment, control and complications of diabetes within the Indian context. The findings of this study will help to identify the disease burden, emergence of early-onset complications and dose titration patterns, and eventually develop person-centred care and facilitate public health agencies to invest appropriate resources in the management of diabetes.
