Abstract

Objective

Several studies have reported the rising prevalence of diabetes in young adults globally. ADA currently recommends routine screening for diabetes starting at the age of 35 years. Indians are known to develop diabetes at a younger age, although there is a scarcity of large studies looking at the prevalence of diabetes in Young Indians. Objective of the study was to assess prevalence of diabetes in young Indians below the age of 35 years.

Methods

The data of 225,955 individuals from a nationwide screening campaign was analyzed for the prevalence of diabetes among individuals younger than 35 years.

Results

The overall prevalence of diabetes among those below 35 years, 30 years, and 25 years of age was found to be 17.9%, 13.3%, and 9.8% respectively. Among those with a family history of diabetes, the prevalence was as high as 40.1%, 31.8%, and 26.4% respectively.

Conclusions

The current study highlights a very high prevalence of diabetes in young Indians. It might be worth considering screening for diabetes as early as 18 years of age among Indians, especially in those with a family history of diabetes.

35 岁以下印度年轻人的糖尿病负担：对全国筛查活动的回顾性分析

目的多项研究表明，全球青壮年糖尿病患病率不断上升。美国糖尿病协会目前建议从 35 岁开始对糖尿病进行常规筛查。众所周知，印度人患糖尿病的年龄较小，但很少有大型研究对印度年轻人的糖尿病患病率进行调查。本研究的目的是评估 35 岁以下印度年轻人的糖尿病患病率。方法分析了全国范围内筛查活动中 225 955 人的数据，以了解 35 岁以下人群的糖尿病患病率。结果发现，35 岁、30 岁和 25 岁以下人群的糖尿病总患病率分别为 17.9%、13.3% 和 9.8%。在有糖尿病家族史的人群中，患病率分别高达 40.1%、31.8% 和 26.4%。也许值得考虑从 18 岁开始就在印度人中进行糖尿病筛查，尤其是在有糖尿病家族史的人群中。
