Description
Fakhrul Islam Maruf, Nishat Tamanna Omi, and Mahfuza Mubarak surveyed this 2026 health picture in Dhaka's urban slums. Diabetes and high blood pressure pile up together in these crowded districts, where care is hard to reach. The team compared 400 adults over forty-five, half with diabetes and half without, across five slums in mid 2025.
High blood pressure was far more common in the diabetes group, about sixty percent versus twenty-three. Quality-of-life scores and care barriers were also measured with standard tools. Models then sorted which factors independently track with pressure problems and poor quality of life. The study gives city health planners ground data from a population that national surveys often miss.
