World Health Organization (WHO) defines the term diabetes mellitus as- 'a metabolic disorder of multiple etiology characterized by chronic hyperglycemia with disturbances of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both.’ Non-communicable diseases associated with changes in lifestyle and diet has become a major public health problem in both the developed and developing countries.
Objectives: To study prevalence of high risk individuals for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Indian Diabetes Risk Score in Bank Employees of Urban Maharashtra.
Methods: The type of present study is a Cross Sectional community based descriptive study. Calculated sample size came to 400. The number of bank employees in each strata were calculated. There were 807 bank employees in government banks, 411 bank employees in co-operative banks and 397 bank employees in private banks. So it was decided by stratified random sampling that 200 subjects would be from Government banks, 100 subjects would be from Co-operative banks and 100 subjects would be from Private bank.
Results: The prevalence of high risk individuals for type 2 diabetes mellitus using IDRS score developed by V Mohan was 26.5% in the present study. The prevalence of already diagnosed diabetes mellitus cases was more i.e. 11.5%.
Conclusion: IDRS score was significant with age group,body mass index and family history of diabetes mellitus, waist circumference, tobacco addiction and alcohol addiction. But it did not significantly vary with gender and type of family

Background: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely an absence of disease or infirmity”. It also includes the ability to lead a “socially and economically productive life.” Obesity is a cluster of non-communicable diseases which creates an enormous socioeconomic and public health burden in poorer countries. That is why obesity is now termed as “New World Syndrome”. Aim- To study health status of Bank Employees in a City with special reference to Obesity. Objectives- 1.To study prevalence of generalized obesity. 2. To study association between prevalence of generalized obesity with socio-demographic factors in Bank Employees.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study carried out among bank employees in Ambajogai city of Maharashtra from August 2016 to December 2018 in 236 bank employees.
Results and conclusion- Overall 43.6% of bank employees had generalized obesity. The prevalence of obesity by waist-hip ratio was 46.6%. The prevalence of overweight was 14.4%. The prevalence of generalized obesity increased significantly with increasing age (p=0.029). Generalized obesity was more prevalent in female employees than male employees but no significant association found. The prevalence of generalized obesity was significantly associated with factors such as age, post of bank employees, history of addiction and mixed type of diet. The factors like sex, religion, marital status, socioeconomic status, and education were not statistically associated with generalized obesity.

The Quality of Work-Life is is a widely studied approach to predict the work life experience of employees. This study examines the QWL of employees working in the new generation private banks in Kerala. Since, the new generation private banks generally have lot of pressure to sustain in the market. Naturally such pressure will be influenced on the employees. The main objective of the study is to estimate QWL of employees and classify their level. The study result reveals that 88% of employees are having moderate and high level QWL. The result also depicts that number of earning members in the family is significantly influencing the QWL.
