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.
