Socio-Economic and Clinical Condition of Some Registered Diabetes Patients in BIRDEM: A Case Study [pdf]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Diabetes is a major health problem of all countries of the world including Bangladesh. Most of the people do not have proper knowledge and the medical facilities. As a result the disease is in severe form among many diabetic patients. We took a random sample of size 2000 and then studied the different socioeconomic , clinical history of the selected patients. Results show that the age, area, family history etc. are the important risk factors for developing diabetics. It is evident that majority of the patients (77.6 percent) do not take physical exercise. Thus physical inactivity or sedentary life is also risk factor for developing diabetes. Also, it is observed that blood glucose level is associated with most of the variables such as age, income etc. and blood glucose level is highly associated with the annual family income and body mass index (BMI).
