| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We conducted a cross sectional study (sample size=3351) in rural Bangladesh. We did in depth analysis of non-communicable disease (NCD) risk factors in this study. Diabetes mellitus (DM), the world greatest epidemic, is highly prevalent in arsenic affected population and is increasing over-time (1998: 4.4% vs. current study 13.2% in 2017) in Bangladesh. DM prevalence in arsenic areas is highly dependent on drinking water arsenic concentration. Numbers of arsenic cases were higher in the people whose drinking water has more than 50microgram/L arsenic concentration. DM prevalence in arsenic areas does not depend on the duration of arsenic exposure time or the presence of arsenic skin lesion. Among, 18.2% of the DM participants reported a family history of type 2 DM. Only 45.5% of the participants with T2DM were already diagnosed, with the remaining 54.5% being diagnosed on blood tests during the study.
