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. - See more at:
