      Diabetes Risk Score.

AB  - BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Diabetes has emerged as a major health challenge in 
      India due to a rapid rise in the number of diabetes cases. Early identification 
      of high risk individuals through screening and early interventions in the form of 
      lifestyle modifications and treatment would help in the prevention of diabetes 
      and its complications. This study was done to assess the risk of type 2 diabetes 
      mellitus (T2DM) in an urban slum population using the Indian Diabetes Risk Score 
      (IDRS) and to determine the factors associated with high risk score. METHODS: A 
      community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among the urban slum 
      population in North Telangana, India. A total of 136 study participants were 
      selected randomly from the records. A pre-designed and pre-tested structured 
      questionnaire was used for data collection. Assessment of risk of T2DM was done 
      using the IDRS. RESULTS: Of the 136 study participants, 101 (74.3%) were at high 
      risk (IDRS >/=60) followed by 32 (23.5%) at moderate risk (IDRS 30-50) and three 
      (2.2%) at low risk (IDRS <30). Sixty two (92.5%) individuals in the age group >/=50 
      yr were at high risk compared to 34 (63%) in 35-49 yr age group. Most (n=35, 
      87.5%) of sedentary workers were at high risk compared to those employed in 
      moderate (n=52, 75.4%) and strenuous work (n=14, 51.9%). INTERPRETATION & 
      CONCLUSIONS: Nearly three-fourth (74.3%) of the study participants were at a high 
      risk of developing T2DM. Age, type of occupation, abdominal obesity, general 
      obesity and high blood pressure were the factors significantly associated with 
      high risk IDRS score.
