Prevalence Of Diabetes Mellitus

Background: Diabetes mellitus, a major lifestyle disease is undoubtedly the most challenging public health problem of 21st century with a worldwide prevalence of 387 million (8.3%). The objective of this study was to get an estimate of the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and associated factors in a sample of adult population in a peri-urban area of West Tripura.Methods: In a cross-sectional study, prevalence of diabetes mellitus was found among adult population of a peri-urban area (Dukli) of west Tripura from April 2016 to May 2016. Multistage random sampling was followed to include 76 participants. Taking house as a sampling unit, every 5th house was chosen for this study. From every selected house, one adult participant was chosen by simple random sampling until desired sample size was attained. Collected data was compiled and analyzed with the help of statistical package for social sciences (SPSS 16.0.). Chi-square, Fischer exact test was applied to find out association.Results: The mean age of the study participants was 42.21±17.65 years, comprised of 23.7% male and 76.3% female. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus was 17.1% among study participants. Diabetes was found highest in 39-58-year age group (37.5%). Males were more affected with diabetes mellitus (22.2%) compared to females (15.5%). The study also revealed a significant association of diabetes mellitus with family history of diabetes mellitus (p value 0.00).Conclusions: Present study showed very high prevalence of diabetes mellitus among adult population. Healthy lifestyle measures might reduce burden of diabetes mellitus which could be evaluated in future research.

Abstract The use of herbs for chronic diseases, including diabetes mellitus (DM), has increased. Many factors are associated with the positive attitude of DM patients to the use of herbs, including demographic factors, knowledge of herbs, family support and characteristics of DM disease. The research used a cross sectional study, conducted in Tawangmangu Karanganyar Central Java Indonesia from March to May 2020. Subjects were 170 diabetes mellitus patients, aged 15-60 years who were examined at the Hortus Medicus Clinic or Community Health Center Tawangmangu Karanganyar Central Java Indonesia. The sample used purposive sampling. Data collection using questionnaires distributed to respondents. Data were analyzed univariate, bivariate, and multivariate using SPSS 25. Attitudes towards the use of herbs were associated with high knowledge of herbs (OR=3.78; 95% CI=1.6 - 8.87; p= 0.002), duration of DM disease ≥ 5 years (OR=3.41; 95% CI=1.70 - 8.99; p= 0.001 ), high education (OR=1.26; 95% CI=0.51 - 3.10; p=0.617) and employment status (OR=0.54; 95% CI=0.21 - 1.38; p=0.200). Knowledge of herbs and duration of DM disease were significantly related to the attitudes towards herbalism.

Prevalence Of Diabetes Mellitus

Introduction. Diabetes mellitus (DM), which is related to cardiovascular disease, is one of the main global health problems. In Ethiopia, information about this disease is known to be scarce. Objective. To assess the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and its risk factors among individuals aged 15 years and above. Methods. A community-based cross sectional study was carried out from January 01 to March 30, 2016 in Mizan-Aman town, southwest Ethiopia. A multistage sampling technique was used to select study participants. The World Health Organization (WHO) stepwise approach for noncommunicable disease surveillance was deployed to collect data. Total cholesterol and triglyceride level measurements were done using the HumaStar 80 chemistry analyzer. Glucose meter was used to check fasting venous blood glucose level. Descriptive and logistic regression analyses were used. Results. A total of 402 participants were included in the study. The prevalence of DM was found to be 6.5% (26 out of 402). Of which, the proportion of previously undiagnosed diabetes mellitus was 88.5%. The prevalence of prediabetes was also found to be 15.9%. The waist circumference (WC), body mass index, smoking habit, hypertension, and total cholesterol level were significantly associated with diabetes mellitus. Conclusion. In this study, higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus was observed than the IDFA-projected estimate of DM for Ethiopia. Modifiable associated risk factors were also identified. Therefore, targeting the prevention strategy to such modifiable risk factors might reduce the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and screening of DM particularly in those individuals having high WC, history of smoking habit, and hypertension needs attention.
