Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 6
Abstract
Objective: To estimate the usefulness of the Indian diabetes risk score for detecting undiagnosed diabetes in the rural area of Bhadradri Kothagudeam ,Telangana. Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted in the field practice area of The Sigareni Collieries Company Ltd Main Hospital, Kothagudem,Telangana, covering a population of 300 from Dec 2017 to May 2018 by using a predesigned and pretested protocol to find out the prevalence and the risk of diabetes mellitus in general population by using Indian diabetes risk score tool. Results: 300 respondents comprising 152 (50.66%) females and 148 (49.39%) males were studied. Most of the respondents 202(67%) indulged in mild to moderate physical activity. 149(49.64%) individuals were in the overweight category (>25BMI). Out of these overweight persons, 25% had high diabetic risk score. It is observed that chances of high diabetic score increase with the increase in BMI. Prevalence of diabetes in studied population was 5.99%; out of these, 25% known cases of diabetes mellitus had high (>60) IDRS. Co-relation between BMI and IDRS shows that, if BMI increases from less than 18.50 to more than 30, chances of high risk for developing diabetes mellitus also significantly increase. Conclusions: This study estimates the usefulness of simplified Indian diabetes risk score for identifying undiagnosed high risk diabetic subjects in India. This simplified diabetes risk score has categorized the risk factors based on their severity. Utilization of the IDRS can make mass screening for undiscovered diabetes in India more practical.
