Prevalence of pre-diabetes/type 2 diabetes among adolescents (10-19 years) and its association with different measures of overweight/obesity in India: a gendered perspective.

Background: The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimated that 1.1 million children and adolescents aged 14-19 years are living with diabetes. Diabetes is a chronic, progressive disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose.

Clinical practice guidelines and organizational adaptation: a framework for analyzing economic effects.

Objectives: The overall objective of this article was to review the theoretical and conceptual dimensions of how the implementation of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) is likely to affect treatment costs.

Methods: An important limitation of the extant literature on the cost effects of CPGs is that the main focus has been on clinical adaptation. We submit that the process innovation aspects of CPGs require changes in both clinical and organizational dimensions.
