TI  - Prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus among Urban Sikh Population of Amritsar.
PG  - 263-267
AB  - CONTEXT: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) refers to a group of common metabolic 
      disorders that share the phenotype of Hyperglycemia. More than 60% of the world's 
      population with diabetes comes from Asia. AIM: To study the prevalence of Type 2 
      Diabetes Mellitus among Sikh individuals living in the urban localities of 
      Amritsar. SETTINGS AND DESIGN: The study was designed in the Faculty of Sports 
      Medicine & Physiotherapy, Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, Punjab, India. The 
      data collection was carried out in various urban localities of Amritsar. Blood 
      samples were analyzed in the Biochemistry laboratory, whereas data analysis and 
      article preparation was carried out in the Faculty of Sports Medicine and 
      Physiotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Multi-stage random sampling was done with a 
      sample size of 1089 patients. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: The data was analyzed in 
      Stata 11.2 software. Various tests used in the study are Mean +/- SD, Pearson Chi 
      Square Test, Students' t test and multiple logistic regression test. RESULTS: Our 
      study showed that the prevalence rate of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is 23.2% with 
      the confidence interval of 20.7-25.7. Proportionately more patients with T2DM had 
      hypertension (46.6%). Likewise proportionately more patients, 67.5% had 
      hypertrigylerdemia, 67.6% had low HDL levels, 59.2 % had hypercholesterolemia and 
      73.1% suffered from metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: Our study clearly indicates 
      that the young Sikh adults below 40 years of age have similar high BMI, WC and 
      WHR to that of the older adults above 40 years of age. It is necessary to adopt 
      appropriate preventive strategies and interventions in high-risk individuals to 
      curb the growing epidemic of diabetes. Innovative community outreach programs 
      need to be designed and implemented to create awareness and early screening and 
      treatment of diabetes, especially in the urban population.
