Aims and Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension in the young adults of age 18-39 years, who have undergone pre-employment screening at a tertiary care hospital and document their parameters. Materials and methods: Records of all candidates of either gender belonging to the age group 18 completed years to 39 completed years, who had st th undergone pre-employment screening during the period of 1 January 2016 till 30 June 2020, preserved in the Department of Medical Examination were examined for the purpose of this study. The candidates who had been diagnosed as hypertensive or diabetic or both were tabulated. The results and values were tabulated in MS Excel. The statistical software JASPwas used for calculations. Results: Records of 12257 candidates were scrutinized, out of which 9176 were males and 3081 were females. Atotal of 182 candidates were found to be Diabetic, Hypertensive or both. Majority of the candidates were males (175 out of 182, 96.15%). The prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus was 179 and that of Hypertension was 1362 per 100,000 population. Conclusion: Diabetes and/or Hypertension are not uncommon in the young population of 18 to 39 years of age. Most of them are males. End organ affection can start early.

Background: India has an estimated 2.1 million persons living with HIV in 2011. The prevalence of HIV among adult population has consistently declined over the last one decade from 0.4% in 2000 to 0.27% in 2011.HIV transmission from infected mother to baby is known to occur. The effective use of Antiretroviral drugs is known to reduce the risk significantly.Methods: This is a retrospective data analysis to know the prevalence of HIV infection among antenatal women attending a tertiary care hospital. All antenatal females are offered pretest counseling, sample collected and tested as per NACO guidelines by Rapid test and ELISA. Results of the test are disclosed after posttest counseling and kept confidential.Results: The seroprevalence over five years in the present study ranges from 0.466% to 0.278%. Women in the age group 21-25 years shows high prevalence due to peak sexual activity in this age group. 56.66% Husbands of these females are reactive which shows the major source of infection.Conclusions: The present study stresses the need to target the population mainly between 21-30 years in various Government programmes, thereby to reduce the transmission from parent to child.

Prevalence Of Diabetes Mellitus

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus and Tuberculosis are two major diseases that often present together and complicate each other at many levels. The epidemic growth of Diabetes Mellitus has occurred in developing countries where Tuberculosis (TB) is highly endemic. As a result, Diabetes Mellitus and TB are increasingly present together. Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of diabetes in tuberculosis patients currently on DOTS treatment and to determine the socio-demographic factors associated with it. Method: A cross sectional study was carried out among pulmonary TB patients receiving DOTS treatment. Total 340 patients were included using convenient sampling who received treatment between August and October 2018. Results: Out of 340 patients, 208 (61%) were males and 132 (39%) were females. The prevalence of diabetes in patients of tuberculosis was found to be 11.5%. Among diabetics, 59% had only diabetes and 41% had other co-morbid disease apart from it. About 56.4% of diabetic TB patients were consuming tobacco. Age, Illiteracy, re-treatment regime were significantly associated with presence of diabetes among TB patients.Conclusion: Diabetes was found to be prevalent in 11.5% of the patients of tuberculosis. Diabetes is significantly associated with the severity of TB, old age and literacy of the TB patients in this study.
