Abstract:

The incidence of diabetes in Tamil Nadu has escalated significantly in recent decades, mirroring a wider national pattern observed throughout India. This narrative review synthesizes an extensive array of literature concerning the epidemiology, risk factors and health consequences associated with diabetes in Tamil Nadu, illuminating the complex interplay of various contributing elements. A key focus of this analysis is the examination of how genetic susceptibility interacts with rapid urban development, lifestyle modifications and socio-economic factors, culminating in a scenario that exacerbates the rising diabetes rates in the region. The review also investigates regional disparities, revealing marked differences in diabetes prevalence between urban and rural areas, as well as among diverse demographic segments, including age, gender and occupation. These disparities highlight the necessity for localized evaluations to enhance the understanding of diabetes distribution in varied contexts. Furthermore, the review identifies critical obstacles to effective diabetes management and prevention in Tamil Nadu such as limited access to healthcare, low public awareness and inadequate health promotion initiatives, which collectively impede efforts to address the diabetes epidemic. By scrutinizing these elements this review aspires to enrich the understanding of diabetes in Tamil Nadu and emphasizes the urgent need for targeted interventions that cater to the unique challenges faced by different communities. Such insights are vital for shaping public health strategies aimed at alleviating the escalating diabetes crisis in Tamil Nadu and fostering improved health outcomes throughout the state.
