dc.description.abstractThe increase in life expectancy in developing countries and as a result of increasing obesity and other life style changes, the global incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of T2DM and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in semi-urban population of Nepal and to compare the prevalence between men and women and among different age groups. A total 740 adults (286 men and 454 women) aged 21 to 94 years (men +/- SD; 45.6 +/- 15.6 years) were included. The prevalence of T2DM and IFG was 9.5% and 19.2% in the whole population. Prevalence of T2DM was higher in men (11.8%) then in women (7.9%), similarly IFG was noted higher in men (25%) then in women (15.4%0). The prevalence of T2DM and IFG was seen to be increased with age in the whole population. Among women, the prevalence of T2DM and IFG was 2.9% and 12.8% in 21 to 40 years age group, 9.7% and 13.8% in 41 to 60 years age group and 15.4% and 27.7% in > 60 years age group. Among men, it was 4.7% and 22.6% in 21 to 40 years age group, 13.3% and 30.5% in 41 to 60 years age group and 23% and 17.3% in > 60 years age group. To conclude, the overall prevalence of T2DM and IFG increases with age. Prevalence of IFG is highest among middle age men where as the prevalence of T2DM is highest among older men.en_US
