“…The disease is reaching endemic proportions in Bangladesh and the average cost for treatment of merely diabetes without added complications is beyond the capability of most people. [1,2] Pain is also a common feature of most Bangladesh people because of the hard labor involved in agricultural work, construction work or work like manually pulling rickshaws or vans with heavy loads. Acute pain also arises from other factors like sprains or even minor injuries.…”

“…23 In developing countries like Bangladesh women lead more sedentary life than male and physical activities has profound effect on blood glucose level. 28 Moreover, there are different hormonal and metabolic circumstances in male and female. According to American Diabetic Association, food intake, physical activity, disease condition, medication, stress hormonal condition, dehydration may also key contributory factors affecting individual's fasting blood glucose level.…”

Background: In resource-limited countries like Bangladesh, there is a scarcity of epidemiological researches examining the relationship of blood glucose level with hypertension and BMI among the graduate level students. This research was therefore undertaken to evaluate fasting blood glucose levels of Mawlana Bhashani Science and Technology University students and to check its associations with sex, body mass index (BMI) and hypertension. Methods: For the study the 240 students (120 male and 120 female) were randomly selected. The demographic data of the study subjects were collected by interviewing the subjects with standardized questionnaires. Their fasting blood glucose levels were measured using portable blood glucose meter. The BMI and blood pressure of the subjects were also recorded following standard protocol. Finally the data were analyzed with SPSS software. Results: The fasting blood glucose levels of the study subjects indicated that 0.4% of subjects were diabetic and, 5.4% of subjects were pre-diabetic. The blood glucose levels (mean±SE) of female subjects (4.88±0.07) were higher than that of the male (4.61±0.04) subjects. The mean blood glucose levels of hypertensive subjects (4.81±0.07 mmol/L) were higher than that of the normotensive counterpart (4.73±0.05 mmol/L). The fasting blood glucose levels shows significant positive associations with SBP (r=0.155, p<0.05) and DBP (r=0.149, p<0.05).The fasting blood glucose levels also showed a significant positive association with the BMI (r=0.193, p<0.01) of the subjects. Conclusions: This study reveals the diabetic and hypertension status of the Bangladeshi graduate level students. The result of the study is very important in the context of public concern health of Bangladesh.

Introduction:Non-communicable diseases (NCDs)-cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory disease-in Bangladesh have already become major public health concern. 1 Almost 60% deaths, in Bangladesh, are due to NCDs. 2 Both NCDs and their risk factors are showing an increasing trend. 3,4 These risk factors are tobacco use, low intake of fruits and vegetables, physical inactivity, obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, raised blood pressure, and raised blood glucose and cholesterol. 5 Evidences show that the detection and treatment rate of diabetes mellitus and hypertension is also inadequate among Bangladeshi population. 6,7 A few studies shown that NCD risk factors are also very common in Bangladeshi population in both rural and urban areas and there is tendency of clustering of risk factors. 4,8,9 These risk factors control is less costly than treatment of the total NCDs. Therefore risk factor approach for NCD prevention has become successful in many countries. 10 For any intervention to prevent and control of these NCDs, first of all we have to know the distribution of risk factors in the population. A standardized approach, popularly known as STEPS, 11 is being promoted by the World Health Organization for knowing the risk factor distribution in population. The present study was designed following STEPS design to determine the NCD risk factors distribution as well as detection and treatment rates of Prevalence of Risk Factors of non-communicable Diseases in an Adult Population of Rural Bangladesh

Blood glucose and cholesterol levels in adult population of Bangladesh: Results from STEPS 2006 survey

Abstract: The prevalence of high hypercholesterolemia is low, whereas there is a high prevalence of borderline high cholesterol and diabetes in the adult population of Bangladesh. This warrants population-based interventions to tackle this problem.
