To determine the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and pre-diabetes in adults, estimate future projections for 2030, and identify associated sociodemographic and clinical risk factors.
Conducted a nationally representative cross-sectional survey (2005–2006) among adults in Sri Lanka using multi-stage random cluster sampling.
Evaluated fasting plasma glucose and a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test among individuals aged ≥ 20 years (N = 4,532; 91% response rate).
Age-sex standardized diabetes prevalence was 10.3% (95% CI: 9.4–11.2%), with 36.0% (95% CI: 31.9–40.1%) of cases previously undiagnosed; prevalence was higher in urban than rural areas (16.4% [95% CI: 13.8–19.0%] vs. 8.7% [95% CI: 7.8–9.6%]; P < 0.001).
Pre-diabetes prevalence was 11.5% (95% CI: 10.5–12.5%), contributing to an overall dysglycaemia prevalence of 21.8% (95% CI: 20.5–23.1%), with diabetes prevalence projected to reach 13.9% by 2030.
Participants with abnormal glucose tolerance presented with older age, physical inactivity, urban residence, and elevated body mass index, waist-hip ratio, blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides.

Implication

Cross-sectional study reveals that over one-fifth of adults have dysglycaemia, indicating substantial burden and undiagnosed disease requiring public health intervention.
