“…The BDHS 2011 showed the overall, agestandardized prevalence of diabetes and pre-diabetes to be 9.7% and 22.4%, respectively; among urban residents, the age-adjusted prevalence of diabetes was 15.2% compared with 8.3% in rural residents. 67,68 The prevalence of diabetes mellitus was 7.4% (95% CI 7.2-7.7%) in a recently published review involving 51,252 participants, and also there was an increasing trend of diabetes prevalence among urban and rural population in Bangladesh. 69 According to the International Diabetes Federation assumption in 2010, the explosion in diabetes prevalence will place Bangladesh among the top 7 countries in terms of the number of people living with diabetes in 2030.…”

Abstract:Like elsewhere, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an increasingly important cause of morbidity and mortality in Bangladesh. Over the past few decades, because of epidemiological transition, the prevailing disease pattern in this country changed from predominantly communicable to predominantly non-communicable disease, CVD contributes to the latter a lot. Actually, CVD particularly coronary artery disease (CAD) is getting epidemic proportion day by day. Hypertension and heart failure are on the rise, whereas the prevalence of acute rheumatic fever is declining. However, despite some efforts, reliable data concerning various aspects of CVD is inadequate at present. The current prevalence of hypertension, CAD, rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease and stroke may be 20-25%, 4-6%, <1/1000, 0.3-1.0% respectively. Besides conventional risk factors for different CVD, genetic predisposition and some novel issues like high salt intake, arsenicosis, hypovitaminosis D and air pollution may play important role in the aetiopathogenesis of CVD in this population. Formulation of appropriate policy and more emphasis on preventive strategy may help combat CVD in Bangladesh.

“…Nonmodifiable factors such as family history, age and ethnicity and an understanding of the contribution of these factors and the environment in the development of diabetes remains a challenge in the prevention and control of the disease. The resultant effect of these modifiable and non-modifiable factors is an increase in the level of obesity and overweight in the population which is the main risk factor for diabetes (6,7,8). Other factors implicated include abandoning healthier conventional high fibre diet rich in vegetables and fruits, and regular physical activities.…”

Objective: The prevalence of type 2 Diabetes is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, hence the need for early identification of risk factors. This study, therefore, aimed to determine the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and the associated behavioral risks among secondary school staff in Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria. Methods:A cross-sectional survey of 118 staff at three secondary schools in Owo was conducted using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire. Demographic and clinical data were obtained as well as fasting or random blood glucose measurements using standard methods. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 21.0. Results:The mean age of participants was 43 + 8 years, 59.3% were females. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus was found in 2.8% of the participants, 18.5% were hypertensive, 22.0% were Obese while 25.4% had abdominal obesity. In all, 13.6% smoke cigarette, 35.6% drank alcohol, 49.2% does not add at least a spoonful of vegetable to their meals, 27.1% does not engage in physical exercise while 78.0% do not eat fruits at least once a day. About 58.4% of the respondents had at least one risky behaviour. More male respondents (22.9%) had a self-perceived risk of Diabetes Mellitus (p=0.001), 40.0% of female respondents had abdominal obesity (p<0.001). Correlation (r=0.347) exist between Waist/Hip ratio and random blood glucose, (p=0.012) Conclusion:Despite low prevalence of diabetes mellitus, many had at least one risky behaviour. Intensifying efforts on educating the general population on the risk factors for Diabetes Mellitus and lifestyle modification is important.

“…8 The bases for the cut-off of 35 years and older for routine screening were reports from Bangladesh and Eastern Uganda that these individuals could have abnormal glucose regulation with a normal body mass index (BMI). 9,10 Together with majority consensus voting, these formed the rationale for periodic screening of all persons older than 35 years for pre-diabetes. The HbA1c threshold set at 5.7% when screening for pre-diabetes was based on a previously published cost-effectiveness strategy.…”

The Asia-Pacific region carries a high disease burden, with over half of the global diabetic population residing in this region. Increasing evidence shows that without targeted intervention, the progression from impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) to type 2 diabetes occurs more frequently in Asians compared with Caucasians. Furthermore, IGT is independently associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and should be managed as early as possible. Because diabetes is now a major public health issue, strategies aimed at prevention and treatment are urgently required. Lifestyle modification, including weight loss, dietary changes and increased physical activity, play a major role in controlling the disease. Significant evidence also supports the effectiveness of a combination of lifestyle modification and pharmacologic therapy, such as metformin, in delaying the onset of diabetes. Although the importance of lifestyle interventions is well recognized throughout Asia, many countries do not have formal recommendations to guide the diagnosis and management of individuals at risk of progression to diabetes. At a recent regional meeting, experts from the Asian region convened to develop consensus recommendations to guide clinicians in the management of Asian patients with pre-diabetes. These consensus recommendations provide a clear and concise approach to the management of individuals with IGT based on the available evidence and current best clinical practice.
