“…Descriptive characteristics at baseline (T4) were reported with means (standard deviation; SD) for continuous variables and numbers (proportions) for categorical variables within 2 BMI categories; BMI < 28 and ≥ 28 kg/m 2 . BMI of 28 kg/m 2 has been identified as an optimal cut-off value in assessing type 2 diabetes risk in Caucasians (25). p-values for differences between the categories of BMI were assessed using Student's t-test for continuous variables and χ 2 tests for categorical variables.…”

Overweight is a proposed risk factor for psoriasis. How-ever, evidence from prospective studies is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the association be-tween overweight, weight gain and risk of psoriasis, and potential synergism with smoking, within a population-based cohort including 8,752 individuals followed from 1994 up to 2008. There was a 32% increased odds of psoriasis from a body mass index (BMI) of 27 kg/m2, in multi-variable logistic regression analysis, further increasing to 43% at BMI 28 kg/m2, and to 71% at BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 in non-smokers. There was a dose-response association between weight gain from age 25 years, with up to 90% higher odds of psoriasis from middle age, independent of weight category. There was no indication of a synergism between overweight and smoking, and no interaction with sex. Overweight and weight gain represent modifiable risk factors that may be targets for primary prevention of psoriasis.

“…The developing world (mainly central Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa) accounted for 141 million people with diabetes (72.5% of the world total) in 2003 (Narayan et al, 2006). Environmental factors like obesity (central or general), physical inactivity, and diet (saturated fats and transfatty acids) and socioeconomic factors are responsible for development of DM (Qiao et al, 2007;Hu et al, 2003).…”

India has the second largest concentration of tribal population in the world. Indian tribes constitute around 8.3% of nation’s total population. To assess the prevalence of Prediabetes and diabetes mellitus among tribal population of Kancheepuram district. Cross sectional study design, Multi stage cluster sampling technique was used, house to house data collection was done for 85 irula tribal people. The Irula are a Scheduled tribe that lives in northern Tamil Nadu and the Nilgiri Hills. They are sort of like a cross between tribals and ordinary southern Indians. structured questionnaire were used to assess demographic variables (gender, age, educational qualification, marital status, family status, occupation, monthly salary and religion). Measurements taken were height, weight, and blood sugar by finger prick method with glucometer. Above 140 to 199 mg/dl considered as prediabetes and 200mg/dl is considered as diabetes. Prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes mellitus among tribes were 49.4%, 25.9%, poor literacy, poverty and substance abuse makes the tribes more prone to prediabetes and diabetes.

“…9,10 Environmental factors like obesity (central or general), physical inactivity, diet (rich in trans and saturated fats) and socio-economic factors are responsible for the development of DM. 11,12,13,14,15 Most of the Unani scholars believe that diabetes is caused due to sue-mizaj Balghami which is caused by cold and moist humor. 16,17 The Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS) is a simple, low cost, feasible tool for mass screening programme at the community level developed by V Mohan et al 18 .…”

Background: The prevalence of diabetes is increasing worldwide and is expected to reach 4% by 2030. The risk of diabetes increases with the presence of more and more risk factors. Being categorized among Amraz-e-baridah, diabetes was more expected to affect Amzaja-e-barida (balghami and saudavi). The IDRS is a simple, feasible and low cost tool for studying the diabetes risk.Aims of the study: To assess the risk score of diabetes among the subjects of different temperaments using IDRS.A cross sectional study was conducted on adult subjects (n=358) of both gender and four temperaments at department of Tashreeh wa Munafeul Aza, faculty of unani medicine, AMU, Aligarh during April 2017 -April 2018. A semi-structured interview was scheduled consisting of socio-demographic characteristics. The temperament assessment questionnaire based on Ajnas-e-Ashrah was used to assess the mizaj-e-Shakhsi and IDRS pro forma was used to determine the diabetes risk score of the subjects. Data was entered and analyzed in SPSS.Results: More than half of the selected subjects (54.24%) were found to be at Moderate risk of developing diabetes in near future while around one tenth of the total subjects (13.40%) were at high risk. A good percentage (22.34%) was found to be at No risk. 80.96% Balghami subjects selected for this study were found to be at risk of having diabetes. Conclusion:The subjects having more of Barudat and Ratubat in their Amzaja were found to be at greater risk of developing Diabetes hence this screening is of utmost importance and can be proved beneficial for timely interventions.
