Abstract
The National Urban Diabetes Survey in India (2010) has reported an age standardized prevalence of diabetes to be 12.1%. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is known to vary with obesity and hypertension. The present study was conducted to find out the prevalence of diabetes mellitus among adults and its association with obesity and hypertension. This present study is a cross sectional and analytical study carried out in 900 adults in the age group of 30 years & above during June 2014 to December 2014. A random blood sugar test was conducted among the selected study subjects and the prevalence of diabetes mellitus is estimated using the cut off level of 180 mg%. Those subjects who were already known to be diabetics with or without treatment were also classified as diabetics. The findings were analyzed using Epiinfo software 7 version (CDC, Atlanta, USA). The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in the present study was found to be 12.4%. The proportion of diabetes was found to be significantly higher among those aged 50 & above (27.0%), males (16.8%) and hypertensives (32.4%). A higher prevalence was found in obese (17.6%) which was however not statistically significant. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus showed significant association with age, gender and hypertension.
