Mean age of the study subjects was 37.82 ± 10.68 years, body mass index 23.34 ± 3.81 kg/m2 , waist circumference 85.66 ± 11.15 cm. As per IDRS scoring study population were classified to be low, medium, and high risk for developing Type 2 diabetes were 34.69%, 47.34%, and 17.97%, respectively. The mean IDRS score is 34.5.
