TI  - High prevalence of type 2 diabetes melitus and its risk factors among the rural 
      population of Pondicherry, South India.
PG  - 258-63
AB  - BACKGROUND: We aimed to assess the prevalence of type-2 diabetes in rural 
      Pondicherry and to study the determinants of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in the rural 
      population of Pondicherry, south Induia. METHODS: It was a cross-sectional 
      community-based study conducted from November 2010 to January 2012 in two of the 
      field practice villages affiliated to a Medical College in Pondicherry. Sample 
      size was calculated using open source software, Open Epi Version 2.3.10. The 
      sampling frame comprised individuals aged above 25 years and single stage cluster 
      random sampling was carried out. After obtaining the verbal informed consent each 
      of the study participants were interviewed face-to-face using a pre-tested 
      structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the SPSS version 16. RESULTS: 
      The age of the study participants ranged from 25 to 98 years with mean of 42.6 
      (+/-13.7) and majority of the study participants 339 (32.5%) from the age-group of 
      30-39 years. The prevalence of diabetes was 19.8% (60-69 years), 17.1% (40-49 
      years), 16.8% (50-59 years), and 13.6% (>69 years) among study subjects. In 
      univariate analysis, higher age, being educated, unemployed and poor was 
      associated with higher risk of diabetes mellitus (DM). Furthermore, a high 
      triglyceride level was significantly associated with increase in the risk of DM 
      (adjusted odds ratio: 3.01; 95% CI: 1.86, 4.86). CONCLUSIONS: Type-2 diabetes 
      mellitus (T2DM) is an important public health problem in the adults of rural 
      Pondicherry. Among non-modifiable factors, higher age, better socio-educational 
      background and positive family history of diabetes was significantly associated 
      with T2DM.
