“…In a recently published study from India, the prevalence of diabetes has increased to 9.7% from the past 4.7% in 1994. 17 This was similar to the US population. But in comparison, the Indian population in Kuwait showed a dangerously higher prevalence of 20.5%.…”

“…Like the Indians in Kuwait, a study from rural India showed the prevalence of hypertension as 26.5%. 17 Prevalence of diabetes in the US was reported to be 9.9% (males 13.6%, females 11.2%). 9 On the other hand, the Indian subjects in the Kuwait study showed the overall prevalence of diabetes as 20.5% (males 21.7%, females 13%, p<0.1), which is much higher than in the affluent country like USA.…”

Background: The Indian sub-population is the biggest among the foreigners in Kuwait. Due to the harsh weather conditions most of the time in the year there is less inclination towards a healthy lifestyle. The present study was conducted to determine the extent of the Indian population living in Kuwait having the risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD).Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted including 400 subjects aged 18 years or more (346 males and 54 females). They were subjected to general physical examination, and were asked to respond to a standard questionnaire.Results: Significantly more females than males were found to be overweight (63% vs. 43.9%, p<0.01) or obese (16.7% vs. 4.3%, p<0.005). Females also had higher proportions than males in having inadequate physical activity (79.6% vs. 53.2%, p<0.001). Significantly more males were having an inadequate intake of fruits and vegetables as compared to females (34.7% vs. 18.5%, p<0.005). There was no significant difference between the genders in proportions of hypertension, smoking, and diabetes. Overweight, hypertension, and inadequate physical activity showed a rising trend with increasing age. The studied population was compared with several geographically different populations, as well as the different populations living in India.Conclusions: As the stay and the jobs of Indians in Kuwait depend upon their health-status, prevention of CAD is of paramount importance. Looking at the levels of the prevalence of several risk factors, multilevel interventions are needed for reducing the CAD-morbidity and mortality.

“…In contrast, other studies showed that majority of the study participants were hypertensives. 4,7,15,18 In this study, majority of the cases and controls do not practice exercise regularly but no significant association was found with development of IHD. This is similar to study conducted by Mendagudali et al, Oommen et al at rural block of Vellore, Krishnan et al at rural block of Kerala and Dhungana et al at Sitapaila Village in Nepal.…”

In contrast, other studies showed that majority of the study participants were hypertensives.…”

Background: Ischemic heart disease is a multifactorial disease. Various behavioural risk factors like smoking, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet and alcohol are known to be important risk factors for IHD.Methods: A case control study was conducted at Kerebilachi village, Davanagere. 40 known cases of Ischemic heart diseases and 80 controls were studied. The association of various risk factors with IHD was assessed. Data was entered in the Microsoft excel and analysed using SPSS v20.Results: Smoking, diabetes, hypertension, physical inactivity and obesity were important risk factors considered in this study. Significant association was observed with smoking (OR 6.15, CI: 2.646 -14.289.), diabetes (OR 5.28, CI: 1.80-18.54), hypertension (OR.35, CI: 0.12-1.01) and obesity (OR 0.74, CI: 1.06—8.23).Conclusions: This study reinforces the importance of risk factors which are modifiable and preventable.

“…In the study by Goyal and colleagues, repeated surveys were conducted in the same rural Indian population in 1994 and 2014 focusing on coronary artery disease (CAD) and its risk factors 5. Among adults aged 30 years and older from three villages in Ludhiana district in Punjab, clinical measures of CAD, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia and smoking status were obtained.…”

Trend in prevalence of coronary artery disease and risk factors over two decades in rural Punjab

Abstract: In a rural population of Punjab, the prevalence of several CAD risk factors like sedentary lifestyle, hypertension, diabetes, obesity and hypercholesterolaemia increased over 20 years. These changes in risk factors were associated with a modest increase in prevalence of CAD.
