Association of urogenital and intestinal parasitic infections with type 2 diabetes individuals: a comparative study

Table 2 Urogenital schistosomiasis and intestinal parasitic infections among the T2DM and control groups

Type of infection	Study groups	Frequency		Logistic regression analysis
		Frequency		Unadjusted		Adjusted
		N (%)	P value	OR (95% CI)	P value	AOR (95% CI)	P value
Urogenital schistosomiasis	Control (N = 150)	8 (5.3)		1		1
Urogenital schistosomiasis	T2DM (N = 150)	14 (9.3)	0.184	1.827 (0.743–4.494)	0.189	2.548 (0.836–7.761)	0.100
Intestinal parasitic infections	Control (N = 150)	16 (10.6)		1		1
Intestinal parasitic infections	T2DM (N = 150)	31 (20.6)	0.017	2.182 (1.137–4.187)	0.019	2.099 (0.973–4.531)	0.059

S. haematobium (Urogenital schistosomiasis) as well as S. mansoni, H. nana, Cryptosporidium spp, and E. histolytica (Intestinal parasites) represented the detected parasites among both control and T2DM individuals. The adjusted variables were gender, age, residence, marital status, water source, education level, and occupation. AOR Adjusted odds ratio, CI Confidence interval, OR odds ratio (Unadjusted), N Number, T2DM Type 2 diabetes mellitus
