Unraveling the Burden of T2D among the Adolescents in Bangladesh: A Statistical Exploration of Prevalence and Influencing Fac

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the prevalence and
determining factors of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) among youths
in Bangladesh using a statistical approach. The research
objectives were to determine the prevalence of T2D in this
population and identify the factors associated with its
occurrence. A survey questionnaire was formed encompassing
certain relevant variables. A sample of youths was selected
through cluster sampling strategy. By collecting relevant data
and employing appropriate statistical analyses, the study
provided insights into the prevalence and associated factors of
T2D among the youths, which can contribute to the
development of effective prevention and management
strategies. Statistical analyses were performed using chisquare tests and logistic regression, to explore the
relationships between T2D prevalence and the determining
factors identified in the study. Lifestyle factors played a
significant role in the development of T2D among youths.
Besides, certain socio-demographic factors like occupation,
education, income, age, marital status, and residential origin
were found to be associated with an increased risk of T2D
among youths in Bangladesh. These findings highlight the
multifactorial nature of T2D among youths in Bangladesh.
Addressing these factors through targeted interventions and
public health policies can play a crucial role in preventing and
managing T2D in this population. The study emphasized the
importance of health awareness and education programs
targeting youths in Bangladesh. The findings from this study
can contribute to the development of evidence-based strategies
to prevent and manage T2D in this population, ultimately
reducing the burden of T2D in Bangladesh.
