The goal of this study was to investigate the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and impaired glucose tolerance in the adult population of Catalonia and study their association with obesity, central obesity, hypertension and smoking habit. A random sample of 3839 subjects aged 30-89 years participated in this cross-sectional study: 2214 subjects underwent a health examination with oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and 1625 were interviewed by phone. Diabetes prevalence (known and unknown) in the 30-89-year-old population was 10.3%, (95% CI: 9.1-11.6). In this age group, the prevalence rates of known diabetes, unknown diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance were 6.4, 3.9 and 11.9% in men and 6.9, 3.4 and 11.9% in women. The age adjusted prevalence to the world population for the 30-64-year-old age group was 6.1% (7.1% in men and 5.2% in women).The factors significantly associated with diabetes were age, obesity, hypertension and family history of diabetes. The high ratio of previously known diabetic cases to newly discovered ones, specially in the oldest age group, suggests good levels of awareness and medical services. The prevalence in Catalonia is similar to that observed in other Mediterranean countries.
本研究的目的是调查加泰罗尼亚成年人群中糖尿病和糖耐量受损的患病率，并研究它们与肥胖、中心性肥胖、高血压和吸烟习惯之间的关联。3839名年龄在30 - 89岁的受试者随机样本参与了这项横断面研究：2214名受试者接受了口服葡萄糖耐量试验（OGTT）的健康检查，1625名通过电话进行了访谈。30 - 89岁人群中糖尿病患病率（已知和未知）为10.3%，（95%可信区间：9.1 - 11.6）。在这个年龄组中，已知糖尿病、未知糖尿病和糖耐量受损的患病率在男性中分别为6.4%、3.9%和11.9%，在女性中分别为6.9%、3.4%和11.9%。30 - 64岁年龄组按世界人口年龄调整后的患病率为6.1%（男性为7.1%，女性为5.2%）。与糖尿病显著相关的因素有年龄、肥胖、高血压和糖尿病家族史。先前已知糖尿病病例与新发现病例的高比例，特别是在最年长年龄组，表明有良好的知晓水平和医疗服务。加泰罗尼亚的患病率与其他地中海国家观察到的患病率相似。
