Description
Background: Diabetes mellitus, long considered a disease of minor significance to world health, is now taking its place as one of the main threats to human health in the 21st century. The past two decades have seen an explosive increase in the number of people diagnosed with Diabetes worldwide. Objective: to determine the association of IDRS status with socio-demographic factors and personal habits among adult population. Materials and Method: Study was carried out among urban adult men and women aged 18 years and above. Study proforma included information on socio-demographic characteristics like gender, marital status, education, occupation, family income, type of family and family size, habits like diet, addiction of tobacco, alcohol or other substance etc. Chi-square test was used to test the association between categorical variables. P value < 0.05 was considered statistical significant. Results: Proportion of participants found with high risk status was higher in female gender, Hindu religion, marital status widowed, illiterate and socio economic status class III and IV. Theses associations were found statistically significant. No significant association was seen between IDRS status and type of family, tobacco, alcohol consumption and smoking habits of the study participants. Mean BMI of participants increased from low risk group to high risk group. Conclusions: The present study showed significant association between IDRS and socio demographic variables like gender, religion, marital status, education, occupation, socio economic status class.
