Prediabetes in the General Population: A Study of Adults Aged 22-65 Years

This book explores the prevalence of prediabetes among the Below Poverty Line (BPL) population, highlighting a critical yet often overlooked public health concern. It examines demographic, lifestyle, anthropometric, and biochemical factors associated with prediabetes while emphasizing the role of screening methods such as fasting blood glucose and HbA1c in early detection. The study provides valuable evidence to support community-based diabetes prevention strategies and preventive interventions aimed at improving health outcomes among economically disadvantaged and vulnerable populations.
