A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and its relationship with age, physical activity, nutritional status and diet amongst rural Malays in Kuala Selangor. By simple random sampling 360 subjects were selected for the study. Besides guided questionnaires, subjects also underwent a 2 hours post prandial (2HPP) test to determine the diabetic status as recommended by WHO. The crude prevalence of diabetes mellitus was 14.6% which increases with age. The prevalence of diabetes adjusted for age was 12.2%. Physical activity status seemed to be a significant risk factor for diabetes. A greater proportion of diabetics was obese and their mean fat intake was higher than normal subjects (p < 0.05). The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in this study was significantly higher compared with data from 1984 (3.9%), representing a marked increment of 212.8 per cent over a 10-year period.
为确定瓜拉雪兰莪农村马来人的糖尿病患病率及其与年龄、身体活动、营养状况和饮食的关系，开展了一项横断面研究。通过简单随机抽样，选取了360名受试者进行该研究。除了填写指导问卷外，受试者还按照世界卫生组织的建议接受了餐后2小时血糖（2HPP）测试，以确定糖尿病状态。糖尿病的粗患病率为14.6%，且随年龄增长而升高。经年龄调整后的糖尿病患病率为12.2%。身体活动状况似乎是糖尿病的一个重要危险因素。糖尿病患者中肥胖者比例更高，且他们的平均脂肪摄入量高于正常受试者（p < 0.05）。与1984年的数据（3.9%）相比，本研究中糖尿病的患病率显著更高，在10年期间显著增长了212.8%。
