Urban-Rural Differences in the Prevalence of Diabetes Among Adults in Haryana, India: The ICMR-INDIAB Study (ICMR-INDIAB-18). Diabetes Ther 2024; 15:1597-1613. [PMID: 38771471 PMCID: PMC11211308 DOI: 10.1007/s13300-024-01602-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetes is a multifactorial disease with far-reaching consequences. Environmental factors, such as urban or rural residence, influence its prevalence and associated comorbidities. Haryana-a north Indian state-has undergone rapid urbanisation, and part of it is included in the National Capital Region (NCR). The primary aim of the study is to estimate the prevalence of diabetes in Haryana with urban-rural, NCR and non-NCR regional stratification and assess the factors affecting the likelihood of having diabetes among adults. METHODS This sub-group analysis of the Indian Council of Medical Research-India Diabetes (ICMR-INDIAB) study (a nationally representative cross-sectional population-based survey) was done for Haryana using data from 3722 participants. The dependent variable was diabetes, while residence in NCR/non-NCR and urban-rural areas were prime independent variables. Weighted prevalence was estimated using state-specific sampling weights and standardized using National Family Health Survey-5 (NFHS-5) study weights. Associations were depicted using bivariate analysis, and factors describing the likelihood of living with diabetes were explored using a multivariable binary logistic regression analysis approach. RESULTS Overall, the weighted prevalence of diabetes in Haryana was higher than the national average (12.4% vs. 11.4%). The prevalence was higher in urban (17.9%) than in rural areas (9.5%). The prevalence of diabetes in rural areas was higher in the NCR region, while that of prediabetes was higher in rural non-NCR region. Urban-rural participants' anthropometric measurements and biochemical profiles depicted non-significant differences. Urban-rural status, age and physical activity levels were the most significant factors that affected the likelihood of living with diabetes. CONCLUSIONS The current analysis provides robust prevalence estimates highlighting the urban-rural disparities. Urban areas continue to have a high prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes; rural areas depict a much higher prevalence of prediabetes than diabetes. With the economic transition rapidly bridging the gap between urban and rural populations, health policymakers should plan efficient strategies to tackle the diabetes epidemic.

Sinha R, Priya A, Sinha A, Hifz Ur Rahman M. Prevalence of diabetes distress among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in India: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Health Psychol Behav Med 2024; 12:2324091. [PMID: 38450243 PMCID: PMC10916906 DOI: 10.1080/21642850.2024.2324091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 03/08/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction The burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in India is on the rise, with projections indicating a staggering 134 million cases by 2045. Managing T2DM demands strict adherence, often resulting in mental strain and burnout. Diabetes distress (DD), a unique psychological burden, significantly affects motivation and self-care, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality. Material and Methods This study was conducted by doing a comprehensive literature search using PubMed (MEDLINE) and EMBASE databases for studies published from their inception to 14th August 2023 by using relevant keywords. The protocol is registered in PROSPERO and adheres to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist. Selected articles were meticulously screened based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal scale for cross-sectional study was used for assessing the study quality. Data analysis was done by using Jamovi 2.3.24 software. Results Following the systematic search and screening process, 10 cross-sectional studies were identified, comprising a total of 2,107 Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. All studies employed the Diabetes Distress Scale-17 (DDS-17) for measurement. The prevalence of DD varied, ranging from 8.45% to 61.48%. The pooled prevalence of DD in T2DM patients in India was estimated at 33% (95% CI: 21%-45%) with substantial heterogeneity observed (I2 = 97.33%, P < 0.001). While an asymmetric funnel plot suggested potential publication bias, sensitivity analysis reinforced the robustness of our findings. Conclusion Policymakers, clinicians, and researchers can leverage these insights to prioritize the psychological well-being of T2DM patients, ultimately improving their overall health outcomes. This study aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and India's national health policy, emphasizing the urgency of screening and treating diabetes-related distress by 2025.

Glucose Fluctuation Inhibits Nrf2 Signaling Pathway in Hippocampal Tissues and Exacerbates Cognitive Impairment in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats. J Diabetes Res 2024; 2024:5584761. [PMID: 38282656 PMCID: PMC10817812 DOI: 10.1155/2024/5584761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2023] [Revised: 12/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Background This research investigated whether glucose fluctuation (GF) can exacerbate cognitive impairment in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and explored the related mechanism. Methods After 4 weeks of feeding with diets containing high fats plus sugar, the rat model of diabetes mellitus (DM) was established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). Then, GF was triggered by means of alternating satiety and starvation for 24 h. The weight, blood glucose level, and water intake of the rats were recorded. The Morris water maze (MWM) test was carried out to appraise the cognitive function at the end of week 12. Moreover, the morphological structure of hippocampal neurons was viewed through HE and Nissl staining, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was performed for ultrastructure observation. The protein expression levels of Nrf2, HO-1, NQO-1, Bax, Bcl-2, and Caspase-3 in the hippocampal tissues of rats were measured via Western blotting, and the mRNA expressions of Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO-1 were examined using qRT-PCR. Finally, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were conducted to detect BDNF levels. Results It was manifested that GF not only aggravated the impairment of spatial memory in rats with STZ-induced type 2 DM but also stimulated the loss, shrinkage, and apoptosis of hippocampal neurons. Regarding the expressions in murine hippocampal tissues, GF depressed Nrf2, HO-1, NQO-1, Bcl-2, and BDNF but boosted Caspase-3 and Bax. Conclusions GF aggravates cognitive impairment by inhibiting the Nrf2 signaling pathway and inducing oxidative stress and apoptosis in the hippocampal tissues.

Effect of Self-Care Activities and Behaviors on Glycemic Control in Patients With Diabetes at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Perambalur, South India: A Cross-Sectional Study. Cureus 2024; 16:e52188. [PMID: 38348008 PMCID: PMC10859554 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.52188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) continue to cause significant morbidity and mortality, resulting in a substantial economic burden on both individual patients and society. The adoption of self-care practices leads to enhanced glycemic control, decreased complications, and an elevated quality of life. This study aimed to examine self-care activities and their association with glycemic control among individuals with diabetes. Materials and methods A cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 150 previously diagnosed T2DM patients who visited the tertiary care hospital in Perambalur, Tamilnadu, India, from March 2023 to May 2023. The collection of data involved conducting a semi-structured interview using the diabetes self-management questionnaire (DSMQ) over an eight-week period. Following the input of the data into MS Excel (Microsoft® Corp., Redmond, WA), SPSS Statistics version 26.0 (IBM Corp. Released 2019. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 26.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp) was used for data analysis. Results The mean age of the patients was 58.35±11.97 years, and 54.7% (n=82) of them were male. Nearly 65% of diabetic patients (n=98) were on orally administered antihyperglycemic agents. Fifty-nine percent (n=89) of the patients were observed to possess self-care behaviors that met the criteria for adequacy, as the DSMQ scores were dichotomized into "adequate" (≥6) and "inadequate" (<6) categories. We observed that 65% (n=98) of the patients had uncontrolled T2DM, characterized by an HbA1C level above 7.5%. Out of the four subscales of self-care behaviors assessed in this study, "glucose management" scored the highest (5.27±1.30), followed by "dietary control" (5.09±1.53), "healthcare use" (4.86±1.50), and "physical activity" (3.27±1.42). The proportion of diabetic patients who had adequate self-management (55%, n=49) had better glycemic control compared to diabetic patients who had inadequate self-management (4.91%, n=3), and this difference in proportion was statistically significant by the chi-square test (p-value 0.001). Similarly, a statistically significant association was noted between glycemic control and the subscales of DSMQ, namely glucose management, dietary control, physical activity, and healthcare utilization. Conclusion The findings in this study indicate that a noticeable proportion of T2DM patients practice inadequate self-care behaviors. According to the DSMQ, diabetic patients with adequate self-management had better glycemic control than diabetic patients with inadequate self-management. According to this research, patients with good glycemic control also tend to exercise better self-care management and show a greater concern for their illness.

Factors Contributing to the Change in Overweight/Obesity Prevalence Among Indian Adults: A multivariate decomposition analysis of data from the National Family Health Surveys. Adv Ther 2023; 40:5222-5242. [PMID: 37755602 PMCID: PMC10611613 DOI: 10.1007/s12325-023-02670-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Concerns over the escalating burden of non-communicable diseases call for the redressal of behavioral risk factors like increased body mass index. Most studies have failed to quantify the contribution of socio-demographic characteristics in a linear trend. The present study aims to estimate the current prevalence of overweight and obesity in Indian adults and the contribution of different socio-demographic factors to the increasing prevalence. METHODS We carried out a secondary data analysis of two National Family Health Survey (NFHS) rounds. The final sample includes 558,122 women and 84,477 men from round 4, and 574,099 women and 74,761 men were included from round 5, using a multi-stage stratified random sampling approach. Overweight/obesity was our primary dependent variable. Weighted bivariate analysis was used to ascertain the prevalence, and the adjusted odds ratios were computed to ascertain the potential predictors. The contribution of different factors towards rising burden over two time points was estimated using multivariate decomposition analysis for non-linear response models. RESULTS Overall weighted prevalence of overweight and obesity in males and females per NFHS-5 was 44.02% and 41.16%, respectively, compared to 37.71% and 36.14% in NFHS-4. Decomposition analyses depict that the proportion of obesity increased by 6.37% and 5.10% points among men and women, respectively, over the two rounds. Compositional differences of participants (endowment) attributed to 16.54 and 49.90% differences, and the difference in coefficient or effect accounted for 83.46 and 50.10%, respectively, of the increase in the prevalence. The most significant factors contributing to increased prevalence were age, improving socio-economic status, smoking, unclean cooking fuel, and diabetes. CONCLUSIONS The incremental rise in such a short period, mainly attributed to the effect of socio-demographic variables, is concerning. Policy interventions should prioritize health advocacy programs and aggressively target behavioral modifications while preparing the health systems to manage the people living with obesity.

Treatment-seeking behaviour among 15-49-year-olds with self-reported heart disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease, and diabetes: a national cross-sectional study in India. BMC Public Health 2023; 23:2197. [PMID: 37940889 PMCID: PMC10631191 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-023-17123-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Eighty per cent of India´s non-communicable disease (NCD) mortality is due to four conditions: heart disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease, and diabetes, which are primarily cause-amenable through treatment. Based on Andersen's behavioural model of health services use, the current study aimed to identify the predisposing, enabling, and need factors associated with treatment-seeking status among people self-reporting the four main NCDs in India. METHODS Cross-sectional study using secondary data. Usual residents aged 15-49 who self-reported cancer (n = 1 056), chronic respiratory disease (n = 10 534), diabetes (n = 13 501), and/or heart disease (n = 5 861) during the fifth National Family and Health Survey (NFHS-5), 2019-21, were included. Treatment-seeking status was modelled separately for each disease using survey-adjusted multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS 3.9% of India´s 15-49-year-old population self-reported ≥ 1 of the four main NCDs (0.1% cancer, 1.4% chronic respiratory disease, 2% diabetes, 0.8% heart disease). The percentage that had sought treatment for their condition(s) was 82%, 68%, 76%, and 74%, respectively. Greater age and having ≥ 1 of the NCDs were associated with greater odds of seeking disease-specific treatment. People in the middle or lower wealth quintiles had lower odds of seeking care than the wealthiest 20% for all conditions. Women with diabetes or chronic respiratory disease had greater odds of seeking disease-specific treatment than men. Muslims, the unmarried, and those with health insurance had greater odds of seeking cancer treatment than Hindus, the married, and the uninsured. CONCLUSION Predisposing, enabling, and need factors are associated with treatment-seeking status among people reporting the four major NCDs in India, suggesting that multiple processes inform the decision to seek disease-specific care among aware cases. Successfully encouraging and enabling as many people as possible who knowingly live with major NCDs to seek treatment is likely contingent on a multi-pronged approach to healthcare policy-making. The need to improve treatment uptake through accessible healthcare is further underscored by the fact that one-fifth (cancer) to one-third (chronic respiratory disease) of 15-49-year-olds reporting a major NCD have never sought treatment despite being aware of their condition.
