Diabetes care cascade and their predictors in young and middle-aged population in India: evidence from the National Family Health Survey (2019-21).

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Weak care cascade of diabetes from the time of screening, diagnosis, treatment initiation and attainment of optimal glycemic control is a public health challenge particularly in resource limited settings. We aimed to assess the diabetes care cascade in India and its determinants in the 15-49 age group.

Methods

We conducted a secondary data analysis of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5, 2019-2021), a nationally representative cross-sectional survey, including a total of 724,115 women and 101,839 men with mean (SD) age 30.6 (9.9) years.

Results

The prevalence of self-reported Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in the sample was 2.14% (n = 14,116, 95% CI: 2.06, 2.21) of which 55.13% (n = 6990, 95% CI: 53.37, 56.88) were currently undergoing anti-diabetes therapy. The
