Risk Assessment of Non-Conventional Contributory Factors in Onset of Diabetes Mellitus Type Ii

Abstract

The aim of current study is the risk assessment of biochemical variables of medical importance, vitamin D and calcium, in pathogenesis of Diabetes Mellitus Type II (T2DM) human beings and the risk assessment due to variation of these biochemical variables in diabetic patients. One hundred subjects (n=100) were recruited from different hospitals in Lahore (31.5204° N, 74.3587° E) after taken informed consents individually. This study was approved by the ethical committee of Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB), The University of Lahore, Lahore. Subjects were equally divide in two groups; diabetic (case group; n=50) and non-diabetic (control; n=50). Calcium and vitamin D levels were measured by the biochemical laboratory of Hospitals. Finally the data was statistically analyzed by using SPSS software (Version 16). A total of 52 % males and 48 % females were investigated for changes in serum calcium and vitamin D in relation to their biochemical importance in Diabetes Mellitus. Both calcium and vitamin D levels were significantly low in diabetic group (p=0.003 and p=0.001 respectively) as compare to control group. Persons correlation showed calcium and vitamin D were directly proportional to each other (R2= 0.577). Odds ratio showed that the low vitamin D and low Calcium levels were 3.47 and 3.17 time more prevalent in diabetic group as compare to the non- diabetic group. Diabetes Mellitus is an increasing health issue in world causing severe morbidity and mortality. So it is important to investigate the non-conventional risk factors of Diabetes Mellitus. Thus, the current study illuminates the risk assessment of altered levels of vitamin D and calcium, their possible pathogenesis in Diabetes Mellitus. It can be concluded from this study that supplementation of vitamin D and calcium till to the normal physiological limits can help not only lowering the risk of diabetes but may also prevent its progression.

Nutritional assessment of servicemen in relation to area of duty and feeding habits: a Pakistani prospective

“…Comparing the BMI values with civilian adults, more were obese as compared to overweight (Varte et al, 2011). This is on the lowered side as compared to other contemporary armies and the general population, the main reason being that in this part of the world the military jobs are considered to be prestigious and a sign of honor, and large number of youth apply for armed forces jobs, due to which the physical standards for induction in the armed forces are quiet stingy and the highest BMI for induction is 22.5 and later on the tough routine with main emphasis on the physical training and fitness keep them fit during the early period of service and the same trend has been noted in the study too (Blair, 2009;Chen and Antonelli, 2020;Chudhary et al, 2020;Jayne et al, 2021).…”

Initial experience of laparoscopic nephrectomy for nonfunctioning kidney in Recep Tayyip Erdogan Hospital, Muzaffargarh.

“…4 The old methods involve a significant skin incision that cuts through muscle to remove it, but in the past ten years, minimally invasive surgery has emerged as the cutting edge of surgical innovation. [5][6][7][8] For a renal tumour, Clayman conducted the first transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy in 1990. 9 Simple nephrectomy can be performed laparoscopically using either the retroperitoneal or transperitoneal techniques.…”

Predictors of Ischemic Stroke Among the Patients with end-Stage Renal Disease: A Single Centric Study of Local Population

“…Atorvastatin was not reliable in preventing strokes in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Although dialysis patients have a greater incidence of stroke than the general population, the risk factor unique to this population is not fully recognized (11,12). Compared to stroke-free ESRD patients, those with a stroke may have additional risk factors.…”
