Estimation of the prevalence of risk factors of type 2 diabetes in the population from age group 30-50 years in Wardha District

Abstract

Background: One of the most prevalent long-lasting illnesses globally is type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and the population of diabetic people is increasing. A sizable population also has impaired glucose tolerance (IGT); of which many will eventually acquire type 2 diabetes. Population expansion, aging, urbanization, a rise in physical inactivity and obesity are all contributing factors to the rising incidence of diabetes worldwide. In April 2021, World Health Organization unveiled the Global Diabetes Compact, a worldwide initiative with an emphasis on supporting low-and middle-income countries. Its objective is to make notable advancements in  diagnosing and avoiding  diabetes. Through the compact, all parties are coming together to work toward the collective objective of lowering the risk of developing diabetes and ensuring that everyone who develops the disease has access to affordable, comprehensive, high-quality, and equitable care. Methods: This study focuses on assessing the frequency of risk factors for type 2 diabetes in Wardha district. It is an observational study by using risk factor checklist we will assess the prevalence of risk factors related to diabetes. Conclusions: The study’s strength lies in the use of a systematic risk factor checklist which will ensure consistency in data collection and minimize bias. The use of large sample size will also improve the precision of the study and increase the generalizability of the result.
