The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and their relationship to age and obesity was estimated in a population-based survey in urban and rural areas in Baluchistan province, Pakistan. Cluster sampling of 834 adults (260 men, 574 women) in the urban and 570 adults (175 men, 395 women) in the rural areas was carried out. Oral glucose tolerance tests were performed in adults aged 25 years and above. Diagnosis of diabetes and IGT was according to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. The overall prevalence of diabetes and IGT in both sexes was 10.8 and 11.9% (urban) versus 6.5 and 11.2% (rural), respectively. The crude prevalence of diabetes in the urban versus rural area was 11.1% in men and 10.6% in women versus 10.3% in men and 4.8% in women. As against this IGT was found in 6.5% of men and 14.3% of women in the urban area and 7.4% of men and 13.0% of women in the rural setting. The major risk factors associated with diabetes were age, positive family history (F/H) of diabetes and obesity. Central obesity was more strongly associated with diabetes in women than men.
在巴基斯坦俾路支省城乡地区开展的一项基于人群的调查中，对糖尿病（DM）和糖耐量受损（IGT）的患病率及其与年龄和肥胖的关系进行了评估。对城市地区的834名成年人（260名男性，574名女性）和农村地区的570名成年人（175名男性，395名女性）进行了整群抽样。对25岁及以上的成年人进行了口服葡萄糖耐量试验。糖尿病和IGT的诊断依据世界卫生组织（WHO）标准。糖尿病和IGT在两性中的总体患病率分别为城市地区10.8%和11.9%，农村地区6.5%和11.2%。城市与农村地区糖尿病的粗患病率，男性分别为11.1%和10.6%，女性分别为10.3%和4.8%。与此相反，城市地区6.5%的男性和14.3%的女性以及农村地区7.4%的男性和13.0%的女性存在IGT。与糖尿病相关的主要危险因素为年龄、糖尿病家族史阳性（F/H）和肥胖。与男性相比，中心性肥胖与女性糖尿病的关联更强。
