- Abstract
The prevalence of diabetes is rising globally. The International Diabetes Federation estimates around 40.9 million diabetics in India. Indian Diabetes Risk Score has a sensitivity and specificity of over 60 per cent and can be used to selectively screen Indians. Present study was a cross-sectional study conducted in rural Meerut. 150 participants were selected by systematic random sampling. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire, testing fasting blood glucose and physical examination of participants. The prevalence of diabetes and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) came out to be 11.3% and 12% respectively. 26.3% participants had very high IDRS. Significant association was seen between diabetic status with IDRS and BMI. More studies are needed in rural areas to get a full picture of diabetes.
