Abstract
The prevalence of diabetes in India has become a significant public health concern owing to a substantial increase in the incidence of diabetes cases. The implementation of screening methods and early interventions, such as lifestyle modifications and treatment, can contribute to the prevention of diabetes and its associated complications by identifying individuals at high risk at an early stage. The objective of this study was to evaluate the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) within an urban slum population by employing the Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS). Additionally, the study aimed to identify the factors that are correlated with a higher risk score. A cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care centre of central India. A total of 100 study participants were selected randomly. A pre-designed and pre-tested structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Assessment of risk of T2DM was done using the IDRS. Out of 100 study subjects, 53% were males, mean age was 40.13±15 years and 23% were illiterate. The overall prevalence of diabetes was 21.%, as per IRDS, 22% were in low-risk category. 44 and 34% were in moderate and high-risk category respectively. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of the Indian diabetes risk score in identifying individuals at high risk for diabetes in the urban population of India, with the objective of implementing appropriate interventions to mitigate the disease burden. The inclusion of stress within the IDRS is a possibility.
