Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
The prevalence of arthritis in type II diabetic patients and its causative risk factors from this region is rarely found, where type II diabetes is in epidemic form. Total 410 patients were agreed to take part in this survey among them 361 were selected meeting all the selection criteria. The overall prevalence of arthritis in diabetic patients were 89 %, among them males were found 1.016 times more likely to develop arthritis (95% CI, 0.9322 and 1.107; p=0.3566) than the females. Risk ratio increased to 1.267 (95% CI, 1.07 to 1.5) for the age group higher than 50 years than the low age group (p=0.00003). On the other hand, there was not any association between insulin treatment and arthritis development was found in type II diabetic patients. However insulin treatment was found to develop weight gain in female patients (OR, 3.949; 95% confidence interval, 0.4443 to 35.1) compared to hypoglycemic drug treated patients.
