Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is growing in prevalence globally with 171 million people in the year 2000, while it is estimated to rise to 366 million by the year 2030.Fifty percent or more of those with the disease are unaware of their condition. Most of these have non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). The onset of NIDDM may occur 4-7 years before the clinical diagnosis of the disease. Early detection and treatment reduce the complications of DM. Objective of the study was to assess the risk of developing of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Urban area of Central India.

Methods: Cross sectional study done in urban slum adopted area of tertiary care hospital from April 2016 to June 2016.Data collection includes sociodemographic profile and Finnish diabetes risk score.

Results: Out off total 150 participants, 45 are males and 105 are females. Mean age was 52.12(±12.70) years and 44.67% belongs to lower middle socioeconomic class. There was a high prevalence of physical inactivity of 53.33%, 24% of overweight (BMI ≥25 kg/m²) and 5.33% of obesity (BMI≥ 30kg/m²), 16% of large waist circumference and positive family history of Diabetes Mellitus of 15.34%. Overall, 11.33% of the participants have a high to very high risk of developing the disease within 10 year, while about 18.66% have moderate to high risk of developing Diabetes Mellitus.

Conclusions: This study has shown that 11.33% of urban populations have a high risk of developing Diabetes Mellitus due to high prevalence of physical inactivity, obesity, large waist circumference and family history of Diabetes Mellitus .There is urgent need to implement diabetes prevention strategies.
