“…In our study, the highest number (40% of the study population) of type 2 DM patients belonged to the 41-50 years age group. This finding was supported by various other studies as well, supporting the fact that DM is a disease of middle-aged adults [16-19]. The female to male ratio of type 2 DM patients in our study was 1.27:1, suggesting that DM is more prevalent in females in this part of the world.…”

“…In our study, 74% of type 2 DM patients had concomitant hypertension. Various studies found the prevalence of hypertension in type 2 DM patients in the range of 33% to 54% [19,21-22]. Our study had a markedly higher prevalence of concomitant hypertension as compared to these studies.…”

Objective The objective of this study was to analyze the demographic profile of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients presenting to a tertiary care hospital of Southern Punjab, Pakistan. Methods This descriptive study was carried out at the Diabetic Outdoor Nishtar Hospital Multan from 2013 to 2018 after taking approval from the Institutional Ethical Review Committee. All patients were evaluated in detail after obtaining informed consent. Results Data of 4,556 patients with type 2 DM were analyzed. There were 2549 (55.9%) female and 2007 (44.1%) male participants in our study. The mean age of our study population was 47.72 years with a standard deviation (SD) of 10.82 years. Seventy-nine percent of the patients belonged to urban areas. Symptoms of polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia were found in 72%, 67%, and 59% of patients, respectively. Hypertension was found in 3391 (74%) patients. The mean waist circumference (WC) was 102.85 cm with an SD of 18.14 cm. The mean waist to hip ratio (WHR) was 1.02 with an SD of 0.102. The mean body mass index (BMI) was 26.50 with an SD of 5.57 kg/m 2 . Obesity (BMI >27 kg/m 2 ) was found in 1,891 (41.5%) of patients. Central obesity was found in 80.7% and 94.7% of type 2 DM patients according to the WC and WHR cutoff, respectively. Females were more likely to be obese than males in all parameters of obesity. Central obesity was much more common in female diabetics as compared to male diabetics (odds ratio 4 in WHR criteria versus odds ratio 1.8 in BMI criteria for obese). Conclusion Diabetes is more prevalent in females than males and especially affects the middle age group. Hypertension and obesity are important comorbid associations of DM. WC and WHR are more reliable indicators of obesity in type 2 DM patients especially in this part of the world. Central obesity was more prevalent in female type 2 DM patients.

BACKGROUND Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major epidemic of this century. The prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is 11% in urban areas, while it is 3% -9% in rural areas. The prevalence of diabetes and its complications is now rapidly increasing in India among the poor in the urban slum dwellers, the middle class and even in the rural areas. This is due to changes in lifestyle and dietary habits associated with urbanisation and globalisation. MATERIALS AND METHODS500 type 2 diabetic patients from rural area of Vindhya region were included in the study. A detailed history and thorough clinical examination was done. Anthropometric measurements were recorded. RESULTSOut of 500 patients, 277 (55.4%) were males and 223 (44.6%) were females. Most of the patients, 303 (66.6%) were in the age group of 41 -60 years with mean age of 57 yrs. In present study 71.8% patients were addicted to tobacco chewing, 28% were addicted to smoking and 11.2% were addicted to alcohol. 37.4% patients have positive family history. 17.4%, 61.8% and 20.8% patients have diabetes duration of < 5 yrs., 5 -10 yrs. and > 10 yrs. respectively. 33% patients were on irregular treatment. 16.6% patients were hypertensive, 63.6% patients were overweight (25 -29.9 kg/m 2 ) and 5.2% patients were obese (> 30 kg/m 2 ). In present study, 59.56% male patients have waist circumference (WC) ≥ 90 cm and 60.98% female patients have WC ≥ 80 cm. 25.60% patients have hypertriglyceridaemia and 18% patients have hypercholesterolaemia. 68.8% patients have poor glycaemic control. CONCLUSIONThe present study revealed that poor glycaemic control, irregular medication intake, obesity, dyslipidaemia and hypertension were prevalent in T2DM patients. Hence, the overall risk profile in patients from rural Vindhya region was very poor and needs improvement. These data can support health professional's actions to effectively maintain and provide a more comprehensive approach to management of T2DM.

Clinical and Sociodemographic profile of type 2 diabetes mellitus in rural population of Vindhya region. J. Evolution Med. Dent. Sci. 2017;6(94):6820-6823, DOI: 10.14260/jemds/2017/1477 BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus refers to a group of common metabolic disorders that share the phenotype of hyperglycaemia with disturbance of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. Several distinct types of DM are caused by a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Depending on the aetiology of the DM, factors contributing to hyperglycaemia include reduced insulin secretion, decreased glucose utilisation and increased glucose production. 1 DM is accepted as a worldwide epidemic with an estimated increase in prevalence from 2.8% in 2000
