BMJ Open Diabetes Res Care
December 2014
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of diabetes and awareness, treatment and control of cardiovascular risk factors in population-based participants in India.
Methods: A study was conducted in 11 cities in different regions of India using cluster sampling. Participants were evaluated for demographic, biophysical, and biochemical risk factors.
Objective: Metabolic syndrome is an important cardiovascular risk factor. To determine its prevalence among urban subjects in India we performed a multisite study.
Methods: The study was performed at eleven cities using cluster sampling.
Objective: To determine levels of cholesterol lipoproteins and prevalence of dyslipidemias in urban Asian Indians.
Methods: Population based 6123 subjects (men 3388) were evaluated. Mean±1SD of various cholesterol lipoproteins (total, HDL, LDL and non-HDL cholesterol) and triglycerides were reported.
Objective: We conducted a multisite study to determine the prevalence and determinants of normotension, prehypertension, and hypertension, and awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension among urban middle-class subjects in India.
Methods: We evaluated 6,106 middle-class urban subjects (men 3,371; women, 2,735; response rate, 62%) in 11 cities for sociodemographic and biological factors. The subjects were classified as having normotension (BP < 120/80), prehypertension (BP 120-139/80-89), and hypertension (documented or BP ≥ 140/90).
Background: To determine correlation of multiple parameters of socioeconomic status with cardiovascular risk factors in India.
Methods: The study was performed at eleven cities using cluster sampling. Subjects (n = 6198, men 3426, women 2772) were evaluated for socioeconomic, demographic, biophysical and biochemical factors.
