The prevalence of diabetes mellitus and impaired glucose tolerance was investigated in a cross-sectional population-based study in a rural Palestinian population of 500 females and males aged 30-65 years. The prevalence of diabetes was 9.6% and 10.0% in females and males respectively. The prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance was 8.6%; 10.3% in females, 6.2% in males. The prevalence of total glucose intolerance (diabetes mellitus + impaired glucose tolerance) was 18.4%. Our study provides the first baseline data on diabetes mellitus and impaired glucose tolerance in Palestine. The results indicate a high prevalence of glucose intolerance, information that is essential for the implementation of national planning and service provision.
在一项基于人群的横断面研究中,对巴勒斯坦农村地区500名年龄在30至65岁之间的男性和女性进行了糖尿病和糖耐量受损患病率的调查。女性和男性的糖尿病患病率分别为9.6%和10.0%。糖耐量受损的患病率为8.6%;女性为10.3%,男性为6.2%。总糖耐量异常(糖尿病 + 糖耐量受损)的患病率为18.4%。我们的研究提供了巴勒斯坦糖尿病和糖耐量受损的首个基线数据。结果表明糖耐量异常的患病率很高,这一信息对于国家规划和服务提供的实施至关重要。
