PROLOGUE In India, diabetes and other NCDs are relatively overshadowed by the continued burden of communicable and nutrition-related diseases. While these health threats are still present, the rise of NCDs has been rather rapid
PROLOGUE C O N T D According to the World Health Report 2005, NCDs already contribute to 52 per cent of the total mortality in India and these figures are expected to increase to 69 per cent by the year 2030

Asian Indians are more prone to type 2 diabetes at a younger age and premature cardiovascular disease. There is a growing body of evidence to support the concept of the Asian Indian Phenotype J Assoc Physicians India 2003; 51 : 445-6 Type 2 diabetes in South Asians: Epidemiology, risk factors and prevention. New Delhi: Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers,2006;138-52
WHY ARE INDIANS MORE PRONE TO TYPE 2 DIABETES AND CAD? Greater ethnic susceptibility and genetic familial aggregation of type 2 diabetes Lower age at onset of Type 2 diabetes Low birth weight thin fat Indian Inflammatory markers; CRP Abdominal obesity and visceral fat Levels of adiponectin ASIAN INDIAN PHENOTYPE Lower threshold for BMI for diabetes Serum insulin levels/ insulin resistance Characteristic dyslipidemia: HDL cholesterol triglycerides & small dense LDL Increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes / premature CAD Indian J Endocrinol Metab. 2005;7:72 85
Among Asian Indians who are known to have high risk of premature coronary artery disease and diabetes, a significant association exists between insulin resistance with cardiovascular risk factors even among NGT subjects C U R E S - 66: J Assoc Physicians India 2011;59: 480-484

EPIDEMIOLOGY OF CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE IN INDIANS India is predicted to bear the greatest CAD burden, according to the estimates from the Global Burden of Disease Study The overall cardiovascular mortality in Indians is predicted to rise by 103% in men and 90% in women between 1985 and 2015 A matter of serious concern is that 52% of the CAD deaths in India occurred in people aged below 70 years, while the same was just 22% in developed countries
EPIDEMIOLOGY OF DIABETES IN INDIANS India leads the world with 50.8 million people in diabetes in 2010 Moreover, it is projected that, by the year 2030, 87 million will have diabetes in India Prevalence of diabetes in urban Indians has steadily increased from 2.1% in the 1970s to 8.2% in the 1980s, later climbing to 12 16%

C O N C L U S I O N Prevalence of CAD is very high in Indians compared to other ethnic groups Among Indian diabetics it is even more striking Indians with pre-diabetes also tend to have high risk for CAD Atherosclerotic changes starts during the prediabetic stage itself Preventing CAD in Indian diabetics would require a multi-pronged approach with control of blood sugar, blood pressure, hyperlipidemia and life style modification
