| Research Abstract |
To establish the efficient preventive strategy for lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes, in-depth understanding of the disease pathophysiology is essential. We therefore performed baseline(cross-sectional) survey of lifestyle and health statuses among the residents near Colombo(n=3012) and those in the estate(n=403). By comparing the results between 2 populations, we found that the Sri Lankans were likely to have prominent genetic susceptibility to diabetes and its related metabolic disorders despite the substantial influences of environmental factors on the disease.
