Assessment of risk factors in development of gall stone disease in type 2 diabetic population in India: A cross sectional study of 100 patients.

Background: Gall stone disease is associated with approximate 50% patients of long standing type 2 diabetes mellitus. There are a lot of risk factors for developing gall stone disease in metabolic syndrome like diabetes mellitus. Aim: Our current study aimed to identify the risk factors of age,body mass index (BMI), family history of gall stone disease, physical activity and duration of diabetes in developing gall stone disease in Indian type 2 diabetic population. Method and materials: we conducted this study on 100 randomized cross sectioned diabetic patients with 20 healthy control subjects attending Shri Guru Ram Dass medical college and hospital. All required investigation and examination was done. The association between age, BMI, duration of diabetes, family history of gall stonesand activity level of patients with gallstone was evaluated. Result: In our study we found significant association of developing gall stone in diabetic patients according to BMI, family history of GSD, physical activity and duration of diabetes. There is no significant difference found with reference to increasing age though duration of diabetes carries significant difference. Conclusion: In our study increasing age did not correlated significantly for GSD but duration, BMI, physical activity and family history of GSD proved to be risk factor in diabetic for gall stone disease.
