Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) refers to a group of common metabolic disorders that share the phenotype of Hyperglycemia. More than 60% of the world's population with diabetes comes from Asia.
To study the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus among Sikh individuals living in the urban localities of Amritsar.
The study was designed in the Faculty of Sports Medicine & Physiotherapy, Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, Punjab, India. The data collection was carried out in various urban localities of Amritsar. Blood samples were analyzed in the Biochemistry laboratory, whereas data analysis and article preparation was carried out in the Faculty of Sports Medicine and Physiotherapy.
Multi-stage random sampling was done with a sample size of 1089 patients.
The data was analyzed in Stata 11.2 software. Various tests used in the study are Mean ± SD, Pearson Chi Square Test, Students' test and multiple logistic regression test.
Our study showed that the prevalence rate of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is 23.2% with the confidence interval of 20.7-25.7. Proportionately more patients with T2DM had hypertension (46.6%). Likewise proportionately more patients, 67.5% had hypertrigylerdemia, 67.6% had low HDL levels, 59.2 % had hypercholesterolemia and 73.1% suffered from metabolic syndrome.
Our study clearly indicates that the young Sikh adults below 40 years of age have similar high BMI, WC and WHR to that of the older adults above 40 years of age. It is necessary to adopt appropriate preventive strategies and interventions in high-risk individuals to curb the growing epidemic of diabetes. Innovative community outreach programs need to be designed and implemented to create awareness and early screening and treatment of diabetes, especially in the urban population.
2型糖尿病（T2DM）是一组具有高血糖表型的常见代谢紊乱疾病。全球超过60%的糖尿病患者来自亚洲。
研究居住在阿姆利则城市地区的锡克教个体中2型糖尿病的患病率。
该研究在印度旁遮普邦阿姆利则古鲁那纳克德夫大学运动医学与物理治疗学院进行。数据收集在阿姆利则的各个城市地区开展。血液样本在生物化学实验室进行分析，而数据分析和文章撰写在运动医学与物理治疗学院完成。
采用多阶段随机抽样，样本量为1089名患者。
数据在Stata 11.2软件中进行分析。该研究中使用的各种检验方法包括均值±标准差、Pearson卡方检验、学生检验和多元逻辑回归检验。
我们的研究表明，2型糖尿病的患病率为23.2%，置信区间为20.7 - 25.7。患有T2DM的患者中，患高血压的比例更高（46.6%）。同样，患高甘油三酯血症的患者比例更高，为67.5%；高密度脂蛋白水平低的患者比例为67.6%；高胆固醇血症患者比例为59.2%；患有代谢综合征的患者比例为73.1%。
我们的研究清楚地表明，40岁以下的年轻锡克教成年人的体重指数（BMI）、腰围（WC）和腰臀比（WHR）与40岁以上的成年人相似。有必要对高危个体采取适当的预防策略和干预措施，以遏制糖尿病疫情的不断蔓延。需要设计并实施创新的社区外展项目，以提高对糖尿病的认识，并进行早期筛查和治疗，尤其是在城市人口中。
