- Abstract
Background: Every year approximately three fourths of all deaths are due to Non Communicable diseases and amount to 41 million people globally, of which 15 million die between the ages 30- 69 years, and a majority of these "premature" deaths occur in low and middle income countries Objectives: The objectives of the study were to assess the risk factors for NCDs amongst the adult population aged 30 years and above using the WHO STEPS approach, to estimate the prevalence of Hypertension and Diabetes in adult population residing in the rural areas of Jaipur, to assess the validity of IDRS as a screening tool for Type 2DM and to determine the association of between the socio- demographic factors and risk of development of Diabetes and Hypertension. Methods: A community based cross sectional study was conducted in the rural field practice area of JNUIMSRC, Rajasthan using the WHO STEPS Approach and MDRF- IDRS. Study population comprised of 395 adults which were selected by systematic random sampling. The data was collected using a predesigned pretested structured interview schedule and data was analyzed using Jamovi software 2.4.1. p<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: The prevalence of hypertension and diabetes was found to be 21.51% and 12.15% respectively. Increasing age, sedentary lifestyle and obesity, positive family history, smoking and alcohol consumption were significantly associated with the development of diabetes. Majority of the individuals belonging to the high risk group (IDRS>50) were found to be diabetic and the association was statistically significant (p<0.001). Salt intake (>5 grams/day) was significantly associated with the development of Hypertension (p<0.001). Conclusion: The present study demonstrates that the burden of NCD risk factors in the population residing in the rural field practice areas of JNUIMSRC is quite high. It is showing the growing trend of NCDs among the population residing in the rural areas, thus making it necessary to promote lifestyle modification by creating awareness regarding Type 2 DM and Hypertension in the community in order to reduce the consequent growing burden of NCDs in the society.
