Title A name given to the resource Lifestyle Diseases Prevalent in Urban Slums of South India Subject The topic of the resource Diabetes; Health; Heart disease; Hypertension; Logistic regression; Slums; Urban health Description An account of the resource Lifestyle diseases have always been considered to be a malady of the middle and upper classes of society. Recent findings indicate that these chronic non-communicable diseases are common among the lower socioeconomic classes as well. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of lifestyle diseases in three cohorts of urban slums, namely, waste pickers living in non-notified slums, communities living in notified slums, and BBMP Pourakarmikas, and to identify the risk factors among the three cohorts contributing to the common lifestyle diseases including hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. In this study, the data was collected by conducting health camps, followed by analysis of the data using logistic regression, HosmerLemeshow test and ROC Curve Analysis. The prevalence of hypertension was found 13.35%, diabetes-8.53% and cardiovascular disease-3.59%. These were significantly associated with substance abuse, high BMI, and age. 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
