“…This finding is similar to findings of other studies who had found 46.7%, 55.8% and 49.4% of the students with risky BMI. 20,23,24 This study also found the significant association of BMI with risk scores. High BMI is known to increase the risk of future diabetes and other cardio-vascular diseases.…”

“…In various studies proportion of abnormal WC ranges from 8.6-59.9%. [20][21][22][23][24][25] Except one study, all other studies reported high proportion, around half of students with abnormal WC. 22 Central obesity specially is a known important risk factor for cardio-metabolic diseases.…”

“…Various studies across India found no to minimal physical activity ranging 5-85%. [20][21][22][23]25 Physical activity is a known important risk factor for diabetes as it increases the sensitivity of cells to insulin. Physical activity also helps in weight reduction, controls blood pressure and others.…”

Background: Diabetes, is now a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Prevalence of type-2 diabetes in children and adolescents is rapidly increasing worldwide. Adolescence and early youth period has pivotal importance for young people with diabetes risk when they usually start learning about how to take responsibility. With this background, present study was done to find out the proportion of various risk factors and future risk of developing diabetes among MBBS undergraduates in Kolkata.Methods: This study was a cross-sectional institution based study done from 1st June to 18th June 2017. Data was collected by interviewing each respondent with the help of structured pre-designed pre-tested schedule, after which clinical examination for height, weight, waist and hip circumference, blood pressure and RBS were done. Out of 150 undergraduates, 130 agreed to participate. Data was analysed with R software.Results: Mean age of the students was 20.45years. 48.5% of them were either overweight or obese. Nearly half of them had waist circumference and waist hip ratio in risk group. Only 65 were normotensive and 7 had high random blood sugar (≥140 mg/dl). 6 students were in high risk group according to both IDRS (≥60) and ADA (≥5) risk score. 66 students were in moderate risk (30-50) group as per IDRS risk score.Conclusions: The simple and cost-effective IDRS could serve as a screening tool health worker to identify at risk individuals at the earliest and enable primary prevention by encouraging these students to modify their life-style.

“…12 Another study conducted by Nagalingam et al among urban population also had higher proportion of medium risk population (45%) than the other risk groups. 13 The prevalence of abdominal obesity in the present study was 21.5% in males and 53.1% in females. A large scale meta data analysis of cross sectional and longitudinal surveys conducted by Jacobsen et al, suggested that the WHO cut off points for abdominal obesity are gender specific however, the prevalence of abdominal obesity was lower in men than in women, which was similar to our present study difference.…”

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic syndrome due to insulin deficiency, characterized by hyperglycaemia. Indian diabetes risk score (IDRS) is the most commonly used one to determine the risk status. However there is lot of inconvenience and possible errors in measuring the waist circumference to determine the IDRS, hence the study was planned to evaluate if neck circumference could replace waist circumference in determining the diabetes risk. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted among 300 study participants fulfilling the eligible criteria. Socio-demographic variables, parameters required for determining the IDRS was assessed, in addition, neck circumference (NC) was measured using standard protocol. Another risk score was calculated by replacing waist circumference (WC) with neck circumference and scoring was named as IDRS-NC. Pearson correlation and Wilcoxan sign rank test was done to find out the relationship between WC and NC and also to determine if IDRS-NC could replace IDRS. Results: Out of 300 study population, majority of the participants are in the age group of <35 years 129 (43%) and around 2/3 rd of the participants were females. Among the study participants proportion of participants belonging to low risk, medium risk and high risk assessed using IDRS and IDRS-NC was 18.7%, 41%, 40.3% and 31.7%, 38%, 30.3% respectively. There was a strong positive correlation (r=0.837) between the neck circumference and waist circumference. Wilcoxan sign rank test was significant between the 2 scores having a p value of <0.05. Conclusions: In our study there was a positive correlation between neck circumference and waist circumference.
