AB  - AIMS: To assess the burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and other 
      abnormalities of glucose tolerance in young-adult (20-40 years) men and 
      non-pregnant women. METHODS: Prevalence of diagnosed T2DM, undiagnosed T2DM and 
      other abnormalities of glucose tolerance studied in 3032 subjects from Kashmir 
      Valley of India. The study included a questionnaire, anthropological 
      measurements, blood sampling, and a standard OGTT. RESULTS: Eight (0.3%) of 
      surveyed subjects were previously diagnosed to have diabetes. Of 3024 subjects 
      screened, prevalence of diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and impaired 
      fasting glycemia [IFG, World Health Organization, Definition, Diagnosis, and 
      Classification of Diabetes Mellitus and its Complications. Part 1. Diagnosis and 
      Classification of Diabetes Mellitus, World Health Organization, Geneva, 1999], 
      IFG [American Diabetes Association, Diagnosis and classification of diabetes 
      mellitus, Diabetes Care 27 (Suppl. 1) (2004) S5-S10] was 2.5%, 2.0%, 11.9% and 
      26.7%, respectively. Overall, age-adjusted prevalence of T2DM (known plus 
      unknown), IGT, IFG (WHO) and IFG (ADA) was 2.4% (95% CI: 1.9-3.0), 1.6% (95% CI: 
      1.3-2.2), 11.1% (95% CI: 10.0-12.3), and 25.2% (95% CI: 23.7-26.8), respectively. 
      The difference in diabetes prevalence was significant by age, habitat, family 
      history of diabetes and BMI. The ratio of known-to-unknown diabetes was 1:10. 
      CONCLUSIONS: This is the first large scale study from North India on prevalence 
      of type 2 diabetes in the younger age group of 20-40 years. Abnormal glucose 
      tolerance including undiagnosed T2DM is common in young adults.
