“…13 Due to their major role in causing deaths, these are the major public health concern in Bangladesh. 14 The prevalence of hypertension showed an increasing trend between 2011 and 2017-2018. 4 15 Over the years, the occurrence of hypertension raised from 32% to 45% among women and from 20% to 34% among men with age at least 35 years.…”

ObjectiveThe purpose of the study was to ascertain how the standard of living is associated with the likelihood of developing diabetes and hypertension directly as well as indirectly through overweight and obesity.Study designThe study used 2017–2018 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey data. It examined the household living standard (LSD) as the main factor, and body mass index (BMI) as a mediator. Outcomes included diabetes status, hypertension status and their co-occurrence. Structural equation modelling with logistic regression and bootstrapping were used for mediation analysis and computing bias-corrected SEs.SettingThe research was carried out in Bangladesh and included both male and female adults.ParticipantsThe study encompassed a total of 11 961 adults (5124 males and 6837 females) aged 18 years or older.ResultsAmong the participants, 10.3% had diabetes, 28.6% had hypertension and 4.9% had both conditions. The prevalence of diabetes, hypertension or both conditions was 18.5%, 33.5% and 9.7%, respectively, among those with a high LSD. Regression analysis demonstrated that individuals with high LSD had significantly elevated risks of these conditions compared with those with low LSD: 133% higher odds for diabetes (OR 2.22; 95% CI 1.97 to 2.76), 25% higher odds for hypertension (OR 1.25; 95% CI 1.10 to 1.42) and 148% higher odds for both conditions (OR 2.48; 95% CI 1.96 to 3.14). Moreover, the indirect effects of high LSD through obesity surpassed its direct effects for developing diabetes, hypertension or both conditions.ConclusionThis study emphasises that with the enhancement of LSD, individuals often experience weight gain, resulting in elevated BMI levels. This cascade effect significantly amplifies the risks of diabetes, hypertension or both conditions. To counteract this concerning trajectory, policy interventions and targeted awareness campaigns are imperative. These efforts must prioritise the promotion of heightened physical activity and the mitigation of the overweight/obesity surge associated with rising LSD.

“…Diseases such as cardiovascular conditions, certain cancers, chronic respiratory conditions, and type-2 diabetes have all been classified under this category [18,38]. Also, non-communicable diseases (CNCDs) have been regarded as a grand challenge [39,40]. These are fundamental scientific problems requiring considerable enhancement in the quality and deliverability of healthcare while reducing costs [48].…”

The prosperity of a country is highly dependent on its public health. Bangladesh is very keen to achieve a sustainable public health sector as a developing country. Bangladesh reached the goal of MDG (Millennium Development Goals) and pursued the goal of SDG (Sustainable Development Goals). Without sound public health, it is impossible to achieve SDG. So, Bangladesh is investing a good amount of money in the public health sector. As a part of this grand vision, this research has been conducted on the disease demography of Bangladesh. An interested pharmaceutical company collected prescription data from all administrative districts of Bangladesh, and weather and population data have been collected as a part of this work. An in-depth analysis of these data has been performed to discover insights into Bangladesh’s disease demography. Finally, a set of recommendations has been presented to assist the public health sector of Bangladesh.
