Now more than 10 crore people are diabetic patients in India. Lancet report on lifestyle diseases
New Delhi. In India, 11.4 per cent people suffer from diabetes and 35.5 per cent suffer from hypertension, while 15.3 per cent are pre-diabetic. This was revealed in a study published in the journal Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology.
The largest study on diabetes and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the country has estimated that 101 million people in India are likely to be diabetic in 2021, while 136 million people are likely to be pre-diabetic (pre-diabetic levels). and 315 million people were suffering from high blood pressure.
The Madras Diabetes Research Foundation (MDRF) in association with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) conducted the study, which is funded by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. It also found that 28.6 percent of people in India suffer from general obesity, while 39.5 percent suffer from abdominal obesity. The study found that in 2017, about 7.5 percent of people in India had diabetes. This means that the number has increased by more than 50 percent since then.
Among states, Goa has the highest number of diabetes cases (26.4 percent), while Uttar Pradesh has the lowest number of cases (4.8 percent).
Punjab has maximum number of BP patients
Punjab has the highest number of patients with high blood pressure (BP) (51.8%). MDRF President Dr. M. Anjana said, “The rapid rise in non-communicable diseases can be largely attributed to lifestyle changes such as diet, physical activity and stress levels. The good news is that interventions can be made to stop this trend. Our study has several implications for the planning and provision of health care in India.
The study was conducted between 2008 and 2020 on 1,13,043 people in 31 states and union territories of the country, of which 33,537 were residents of urban and 79,506 rural areas.
