type-2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm) awareness among gen-y in rurban indian banks

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm) is a chronic metabolic disorder that is steadily increasing in prevalence worldwide. this alarming trend has led to the emergence of a widespread health crisis in certain countries, with the number of affected individuals expected to double in the next decade. this poses a significant burden on healthcare providers, particularly in underdeveloped nations, as the aging population continues to grow.  to address this issue, an awareness study has been initiated among the gen-y population residing in the urban areas of indian banks. the study identified 29 attributes across three parameters: awareness of symptoms, awareness of factors, and awareness of complications related to t2dm. a total of 132 samples were collected from the study areas. the results revealed a lower level of awareness regarding symptoms among rural males, rural females, and urban males. however, urban females demonstrated a better understanding of the symptoms associated with t2dm. in terms of awareness of factors contributing to the development of type 2 diabetes, all groups displayed very poor awareness. regarding the awareness of complications associated with t2dm, urban males and females exhibited some level of understanding. however, rural participants lacked adequate information about the complications that can arise from type 2 diabetes. this highlights the need for targeted education and awareness campaigns to address this knowledge gap and mitigate the impact of t2dm in these areas.
