Prevalence, diagnosis, treatment and control of hypertension, diabetes and their co-occurrence, and its correlates in India using NFHS-5 data 

<br/><br/> Hypertension and diabetes are the two most prevalent<br/>non-communicable diseases in India, and their exposure is increasing fast with time. In the present study,<br/>an attempt is made to assess its prevalence (P), diagnosis<br/>(D), treatment (T) and control (C) in three mutually<br/>exclusive groups of individuals aged 30–79 who are only<br/>hypertensive (OH), individual with only diabetes (OD)<br/>and hypertensive as well as individual with diabetes<br/>(HD) and its correlates based on fifth round of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) with the help of<br/>chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression. The<br/>prevalence, diagnosis, treatment and control (PDTC)<br/>rates of the disease among OH were 21.7%, 26.9%,<br/>23% and 10.7% respectively, and it was 11.4%, 17.1%,<br/>16.4% and 5.1% among OD, followed by 9.9%, 24.6%,<br/>22.4% and 3.1% among HD. They also exhibited significant associations (P-value < 0.05) and risks, such that<br/>rural (odds ratio (OR): 0.628), and female OR: 0.876)<br/>had a lower risk of coexistence compared to urban and<br/>male respectively. Individuals who were divorced (OR:<br/>1.137), age group 70-79 (OR: 7.468), smokers (OR:<br/>1.71) and consuming alcohol (OR: 1.100), as well as<br/>those overweighed, had a higher chance of HD. In conclusion, addressing these risk factors with association<br/>and the geographical distribution of PDTC of HD in<br/>India could potentially enhance public health in the<br/>region.
