“…A significant association between the risk of AD and lower education level was also observed that corroborated in present findings [57]. Other findings also indicated significant association between T2DM group, age, education, and area of locality [58,59,60], that matched our observation. These demographic parameters directly or indirectly are associated with T2DM and AD.…”

The epidemic of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the possibility of it contributing to the risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have become important health concerns worldwide and in Pakistan, where the co-occurrence of T2DM and AD is becoming more frequent. To gain insights on this phenomenon, a cross-sectional study was initiated. We recruited and interviewed 820 research participants from four cities in Pakistan: 250 controls, 450 T2DM, 100 AD, and 20 with both diseases. Significant differences between groups were observed for age (p < 0.0001), urban vs. rural locality (p = 0.0472) and residing near industrial areas. The average HbA1c (%) level was 10.68 ± 2.34 in the T2DM group, and females had a lower level than males (p = 0.003). In the AD group, significant relationships existed between education and family history. Overall, the results suggest that T2DM and AD were associated with both socio-demographic and environmental factors in Pakistani participants. Detailed molecular investigations are underway in our laboratory to decipher the differential genetic pathways of the two diseases to address their increasing prevalence in this developing nation.

“…The mental symptoms were correlated positively with the duration of the diabetes diagnosis, being significantly higher among Type 2diabetes patients with an established disease when compared with newly diagnosed patients. However, there was no significant correlation between HbA1c levels and mental health [30,35].The same as our results showed that HbA1c had little influence on mental health. These findings also indicated that HbA1c had no statistically significant effects on environmental QoL.…”

“…Some studies have demonstrated that women are more likely to have better glycemic control compared to men, whereas other studies have shown the opposite [36,37]. This may be related to different cultural and social norms, such as sex role and the importance of family [30,38].This study indicated that sex and physical health were correlated. These results were consistent with the findings of earlier research [5].…”

Purpose: To investigate the correlation between self-efficacy and quality of life (QoL) in patients with diabetes under varying glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) conditions. Methods:The 177 outpatients with Type 2 diabetes were included in this study at a regional teaching hospital in central Taiwan. We reviewed the results of the patients' HbA1c test results from the preceding 3 months and recorded these data. HbA1c levels were divided into three control groups: good, moderate, and poor. In multiple regression analysis, the relationship between overall self-efficacy and QoL, then stepwise added HbA1c and demographic variables.Results: This study revealed a strong relationship between self-efficacy and QoL. In comparison to the overall sample (referred to as the baseline group), the relationship between self-efficacy and QoL was significant. In the good control group, the relationship between self-efficacy and QoL intensified.However, the correlation between the two in the moderate control group weakened, and the correlation between the two in the poor control group was the lowest. Therefore, as HbA1c levels increased, the correlation between selfefficacy and QoL weakened and tended to decline steadily. In addition, the relationship between the self-efficacy dimensions of medication control, foot care, and QoL intensified in the poor control group. However, regression analysis showed that the partial regression influence of HbA1c on mental QoL and environmental QoL was not significant. Conclusions:Self-efficacy and QoL were significantly correlated under various HbA1c conditions. Therefore, improving self-efficacy to achieve appropriate blood glucose control can help increase the QoL of patients with Type 2 diabetes.

“…Good knowledge about the risk factors of diabetes including age, gender, educational level, the area of residence, BMI, and obesity, family history, and inactive life-style, plays an essential role in prevention and treatment [6]. Also, financial, psychological, and ecological features are directly and indirectly linked with diabetes management and treatment results [7]. [8].…”

Background: The aim of the current study was to evaluate the anthropometric and demographic factors and their correlation with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Bangladesh. Methods: One hundred fourteen patients (70 males and 44 females) between 30 and 75 years of age from various areas of Bangladesh were screened for T2DM. Fasting blood sugar (FBS) was analyzed by using laboratory kits and spectrophotometric technique. Anthropometric and socio-demographic data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated from weight (kg) and height (m) of the individual respondents. Physical activity was categorized based on activity during daily work. Economic condition is defined by respective family income and education level is categorized into 3 levels: illiterate, 0 -12 years of education and graduate or above. Results: According to the current study results, half of the patients were from the middle-class family with low physical activity and their age was within the range of 30 -45 years. The male and female ratio of the study population was 60:40. Most of the patients were found to be obese and educated. Urban populations were more prone to have DM than the rural population. Age, education, the area of residence (urban and rural), physical activity and co-morbid diseases were significantly correlated with T2DM in Bangladesh (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Our study shows that different socio-demographic factors have a significant correlation with T2DM in Bangladesh. Diabetes awareness, early diagnosis, patient education and life-style modification can be initiated to manage T2DM efficiently.
