Study on the Prevalence of type 2 diabetes Mellitus among women population of Bangalore, India | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

Today, type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common form of the disease in India, and the prevalence is rising at an alarming rate (T2DM). The fast urbanization of the suburbs is to blame for the increased incidence of diabetes mellitus. Increasing urbanization, ageing populations, dietary shifts, decreased physical activity, and other bad habits are all leading to an increase in diabetes mellitus cases. The most effective therapy for decreasing complications and early mortality in women with T2DM is to develop and maintain good lifestyle practices. Bengaluru's female population is still lacking data on the prevalence of T2DM and its related variables. In light of this, researchers in Bengaluru, Karnataka, set out to find out how common diabetes mellitus is among women and whether or not it's linked to any of a number of risk factors. Among women under the age of 40, diabetes was found to be widespread, and it was shown to be prevalent among all three types of workers. BMI more than 25 and WHR greater than 0.85 were reported in the majority of diabetics, both of which raise the possibility of diabetes developing. Most of them had a good genetic profile and did not engage in physical activity or adhere to any food regimen. There was a strong link discovered between being older, having a lower level of education, being obese, having a larger waist circumference, and having diabetes. Women having a history of diabetes and other risk factors were shown to have a higher chance of getting the disease.
