Diabetic Yoga Protocol in Biochemical And Molecular Profile

The occurrence of Diabetes is not only found in mid-age or older adults but it

also affects the young population in the world (Guariguata et al., 2014). Globally, the

prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus has been continuously rising and has become an

epidemic. Approximately, 30 million individuals were earlier affected with Diabetes

in 1964 (Entmacher and Marks, 1965).Ogurtsova et al. (2017) in their study showed

that between the age group of 20-79 years, 415 million of the population was found

battling with Diabetes causing a mortality rate of 5.0 million. Moreover, in 2015, the

occurrence of Diabetes in adults was estimated at 8.8% and on the other hand, 16.2%

of newborn had hyperglycemia (Ogurtsova et al., 2017). Due to increasing death rates

until 2030, Diabetes Mellitus possibly became the 7th cause of death (Pal et al., 2017).

Moreover, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) has carried out the worldwide

prevalence and estimation of this epidemic. The IDF shows the worldwide occurrence

of Diabetes Mellitus viz. 151 million in 2000 [IDF, 1st edition, 2000], 194 million in

2003 [IDF, 2nd edition, 2003], 246 million in 2006 [IDF, 3rd edition, 2006], 285

million in 2009 [IDF, 4th edition, 2009], 366 million in 2011 [IDF, 5th edition, 2011],

382 million in 2013 [IDF, 6th edition, 2013] 415 million in 2015 (Ogurtsova et al.,

2017), 451 million in 2017 (Cho et al., 2018). It was predicted by King et al., 1998

that in 2025 there will be 300 million adults diagnosed with Diabetes, 552 million in

2030 (Whiting et al, 2011), 592 million 2035 (Guariguata et al., 2014), 642 million in

2040 (Ogurtsova et al., 2017) 693 million in 2045 (Cho et al., 2018). Furthermore, it

was revealed that individuals in low and middle-income countries record the greatest

Diabetes incidence in the upcoming 22 years (Guariguata et al., 2014).
