The distribution of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and obesity variables were studied among tribal and non-tribal populations with East Asian ancestry from northeast India.
Data pertaining to somatometric measurements, blood pressure, lipid profile, and fasting blood glucose were collected from 1916 participants (Mizo-422, Liangmai-352, and Meitei-1142) of both sexes older than 18 years. Two-way ANOVA and chi square analysis were done to understand the inter-population prevalence differences.
Differential distribution of obesity variables, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia was observed among the three populations.
Population-specific prevalence studies need to be conducted to develop population-specific health strategies, specifically in countries like India with huge diversity.
研究来自印度东北部东亚裔的部落和非部落人群中高血压、2 型糖尿病、血脂异常和肥胖变量的分布情况。
从 1916 名(Mizo-422、Liangmai-352 和 Meitei-1142)年龄大于 18 岁的男女参与者中收集了体格测量、血压、血脂谱和空腹血糖数据。采用双向方差分析和卡方检验来了解不同人群之间的流行率差异。
三种人群中肥胖变量、高血压、2 型糖尿病和血脂异常的分布存在差异。
需要开展针对特定人群的流行率研究,以制定针对特定人群的健康策略,特别是在像印度这样具有巨大多样性的国家。
