By IndiaTodayGoodHousekeeping | Good Housekeeping India – Sun, Nov 27, 2011 8:48 PM ISTIn India, 51 million people suffer from the disease? Read on to know the latest on the ailment that largely targets urban women.
The latest statistics on NCDs (non-communicable diseases) are alarming. But among the growing incidences, diabetes is the most widespread, and primarily among women. Here's another startling fact: Earlier, it was women above 35 years of age who were prone to the disease, but of late, the age parameters have changed drastically, with women in their early 20s testing positive.
What The Figures Say
The latest statistics presented by the Public Health Foundation of India at a recent conference on " Chronic NCDs in India" put "indolent" lifestyles of urban people as the prime culprit. It was revealed that almost 29 percent urban adults do not indulge in physical activities; the women are more prone to this deasease than men (about 24 percent of men and almost 34 percent of women don't exercise regularly). The trend is pronounced in people who are 45 or above.
Catching It On Time
A recent study which was conducted by Dr Ashutosh Shukla, who is the head of internal medicine,Artemis Health Institute, Gurgaon, revealed, that out of 300 patients who underwent an executive health check up, 45 had IGT (Impaired Glucose Intolerance) or pre-diabetes. Despite having obvious symptoms such as increased appetite, constant thirst and high urine formation, around 95 percent of patients only get to know they are suffering from diabetes when it has reached an advanced stage. Says Dr Shukla, 'Awareness and early detection can manage diabetes. If you are obese, have a stressful job, lead a sedentary lifestyle, and have a history of diabetes, get an executive health check up done each year.'
