This study examines the impact of hypertension and diabetes on patients in the local areas of Durg City, Chhattisgarh. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among patients in Durg City diagnosed with hypertension, diabetes, or both, across different age groups and socioeconomic backgrounds. Data were collected through interviews, medical records, and health check-ups at local clinics. The study assessed prevalence, awareness, treatment patterns, lifestyle factors, and complications. Results showed a high incidence of both conditions, often coexisting, with poor awareness and disease management in certain groups. Unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, and stress were major contributing factors. The study highlights the need for stronger public health efforts, awareness programs, and accessible healthcare services. It provides a foundation for future research and local health policies to improve prevention and management of these chronic diseases.
