Abstract
Background: One of the commonly associated metabolic disorders in the world is diabetes mellitus. It is prevalent amongst majority of areas of the world and amongst subjects of different demographics. The present study was aimed at finding the risk factors associated with subjects having type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods: The present prospective study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Saraswati Medical College, Unnao, Uttar Pradesh (India). Blood glucose values of more than 7mmol/L was regarded as diabetes. It was a questionnaire based study. Subject’s medical history, family history and general condition were assessed to determine the health condition. Student t test was used to compare the results. Probability value of less than 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: There were 31 cases (14.1%) and 42 controls (21%) that were less than 40 years of age. There were 48 cases (22.3%) and 62 controls (31%) that were 41-55 years of age. There were 79 cases (35.9%) and 48 controls (24%) that were 56-70 years of age. The mean LDL amongst cases and controls was 2.70±0.11 and 2.31±0.05 respectively. There was a significant difference in cholesterol level amongst cases and controls. The mean triglyceride level amongst cases was 1.67±0.06 and controls were 1.38±0.04. Conclusion: Presence of family history of diabetes, sedentary lifestyle with lack of physical activity, increase body mass index and blood pressure are significant risk factors associated with diabetes. Also from our study it is seen that increased level of triglyceride and cholesterol are associated with risk or diabetes too.
