Abstract :

Back ground: Type2 Diabetes Mellitus is the most common non-communicable disease emerging as global burden now a days. Pre diabetes is a high risk state of developing T2DM. Objectives: 1. To determine the prevalence of pre-diabetes among urban slum dwellers by using Indian Diabetes Risk Score, 2. To evaluate factors associated with pre-diabetes among study population. Material and Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted in 280 individuals by random sampling and the data was collected by using Indian Diabetes Risk Score, age more than 20 years, non diabetics were included in the study. Data collected was analysed using SPSS software. Results: Total 280 study subjects were included in the study. Majority of the participants 37.1% were in the age category of 20-30 years among them 57.50% were females. With respect to age 64.9% participants of age group 41-50 were at high risk, association between age and risk status was highly significant statistically (p=0.0001). Among high risk (33.9%) subjects, almost 3/4th subjects were having BMI >23.5kg/m2 that is 43.5% participants were overweight (23.5-28), 48.9% were obese (28.1-33) and 42.9% were grossly obese (>33.1) and association was highly significant. 58.7% high risk subjects have waist circumference in the range of 91-115 cm. High risk is predominant in participants with WC range of 91-115cm (p=0001.) With respect to physical activity 27.1% high risk subjects does either exercise or strenuous work. Among 100 sedentary worker 47% were at high risk who doesn�t do any exercise (p=0.0001). 15.4% participants have family history of diabetes of either parent, the link between family history of Diabetes Mellitus and risk status was significant statistically (p=0.001). Conclusions: Urban slum population showed that one third of study population were at high risk according to IDRS scale.
