Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a public health disease. In India, thirty five million people have diabetes—a number expected to more than double by 2025, disproportionately affecting working-age people. The economic impact of this increase could be devastating to India’s emerging economy. The present hospital based cross sectional study was conducted with the aim to estimate the burden of DM from rural population of Jaipur (Rajasthan) attended at a tertiary care hospital. This study was conducted on patients attending the OPD of CHC, Manoharpur, Jaipur for any illness. Among them, patient showing even slightest evidence towards the presence of DM, were screened from July 2018 to December 2018.Total numbers of 277 individuals of age group of 20 years and above were screened in this study period. Out of these 277 patients screened, 207 (74.73%) were males and 70 (15.27%) were females. Out of these males were 30(10.83%) with confirmed DM and females were 18(6.49%) with confirmed DM. The proportion of DM in age 20-45 age group was 1.80% and in age group of 46-65 years it was 11.91% while in > 65 years it was 3.60%. It can be concluded from study that 17.32% of screened patients were found to have confirmed DM. In India there are very scanty data on the level of prevalence of this disease to plan and execute public health programme. There is need of good public health policies towards preventing and controlling diabetes at national and state levels. Thus the current study recorded alarmingly high prevalence of DM among rural population which should be a cause of concern for health care providers.
