Introduction:
Diabetes and hypertension are major chronic diseases with rising global prevalence, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to investigate and identify demographic, lifestyle, genetic, and environmental risk factors associated with the development and progression of diabetes and hypertension through a non-interventional, observational approach.
Materials and Methods:
A non-interventional, cross-sectional pilot study recruited 80 adults (≥18 years) at multiple sites over six months, collecting all data during a single visit. It gathered demographic, medical, lifestyle, vital sign, and anthropometric data. Diabetes was diagnosed via self-report, records, or HbA1c ≥6.5%; hypertension by blood pressure measurement. Analysis used descriptive statistics and logistic regression.logistic regression.
Results:
Participants averaged 56.56 (±16.05) years old with a BMI of 31.89 (±4.51). Mean HbA1c was 7.84% (±0.77) and BP was 125.36/84.89 mmHg. Groups differed significantly in age (p=0.0069) and BMI (p<0.00001). Hypertension group had 73.3% obesity. ~70% reported diabetic family history. Smoking/alcohol use were moderate, slightly higher in diabetics. Controls had higher socioeconomic status (73.3%).
Conclusion:
Obesity, family history of diabetes, and socioeconomic status emerged as significant factors associated with diabetes and hypertension. The findings underscore the importance of targeted lifestyle interventions, particularly weight management, in at-risk populations. Genetic predisposition also plays a notable role, especially in diabetes. Further studies with larger sample sizes are recommended to validate these observations and inform public health strategies.
