India is ill fated to be the Diabetic capital by 2025 with the highest number and proportion of diabetics in its population. But unfortunately we have paucity of indigenous data as in all other spheres of national and health data. Diabetes is increasing its pandemic stretches crossing all barriers of region, demographics, culture etc. This is a multisystem disease which inflicts the human body unlike usual unifactorial or infective causes & courses. The disease is the modern day pandemic with etiologies running in large population and lifestyles. Few urban pockets and metropolitans have incomplete prevalence data in our country and it's essential to have a complete national picture of this disease. The present study was carried out in the Dept of Medicine, SNMC, Agra as a part of ongoing 25 years prospective study of the population of urban Agra and the adjoining area in north India including the various physiological and physical factors with association of community workers and agencies. The prevalence of Diabetes in urban Agra came out to be 14.38%, slightly higher than the national average while the prevalence of IFG and IGT was 12.87 % & 11.09 % respectively. Diabetes was also associated significantly with various other multisystem disorders and sociopsycho-physiological stressors.

Abstract


India is ill fated to be the Diabetic capital by 2025 with the highest number and proportion of diabetics in its population. But unfortunately we have paucity of indigenous data as in all other spheres of national and health data. Diabetes is increasing its pandemic stretches crossing all barriers of region, demographics, culture etc. This is a multisystem disease which inflicts the human body unlike usual unifactorial or infective causes & courses. The disease is the modern day pandemic with etiologies running in large population and lifestyles. Few urban pockets and metropolitans have incomplete prevalence data in our country and it's essential to have a complete national picture of this disease. The present study was carried out in the Dept of Medicine, SNMC, Agra as a part of ongoing 25 years prospective study of the population of urban Agra and the adjoining area in north India including the various physiological and physical factors with association of community workers and agencies. The prevalence of Diabetes in urban Agra came out to be 14.38%, slightly higher than the national average while the prevalence of IFG and IGT was 12.87 % & 11.09 % respectively. Diabetes was also associated significantly with various other multisystem disorders and sociopsycho-physiological stressors.
