1 in 3 Indians Shows Early Diabetes Warning Signs, Study Reveals
Metropolis Healthcare Limited has released findings from a large-scale lipid analysis ahead of World Diabetes Day. The study highlights a growing concern: nearly one in three Indians exhibit lipid abnormalities, which are early warning signs of Type 2 Diabetes. The research revealed that men face a higher risk of lipid abnormalities compared to women. Among the participants, 35% had critically low HDL (good cholesterol), while 33% showed elevated triglyceride levels. These imbalances often appear years before blood sugar levels become abnormal, signalling silent diabetes development, particularly in individuals in their 30s and 40s.
Metabolic syndrome, diagnosed when a person has three or more specific health issues, significantly increases the risk of diabetes and heart disease. The study also noted that metabolic imbalances are not solely tied to obesity but can stem from lifestyle factors. To address these risks, Metropolis Healthcare promotes its TruHealth Packages, which provide comprehensive evaluations for metabolic and cardiovascular health. The study underscores the importance of regular lipid and glucose screening for adults over 30. Early detection of these imbalances can help manage metabolic risks and prevent the onset of diabetes. Metropolis Healthcare advocates for proactive health monitoring to curb the rising prevalence of metabolic disorders.
