Abstract

In the present paper, the information is provided from the analytical results of data collected from 995 adults of Bangladesh. Among them 1.8% were suffering simultaneously from diabetes, disability, and elevated blood pressure. The risk of these 3 diseases was more among urban, Muslim, female, married person, younger adult of ages 25 to less than 40 years, secondary level educated, housewife, and obese adults. Lower economic condition, physical inactivity, and early stage of diabetes were also the risk factors for the diseases. Except duration of diabetes, the related variables of the above-mentioned levels were independent of prevalence of the diseases under consideration. However, in fitting the logistic regression, it was seen that one unit increase in body mass index, and in duration of diabetes, there would be increase in prevalence of the diseases.
