We investigated the prevalence of diabetes and associated factors in a cross-sectional survey of an urban Palestinian population of 492 men and women aged 30-65 years. The oral glucose tolerance test was used to diagnose diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance. World Health Organization-recommended survey protocols were followed. Diabetes was found in 12.0% of the survey population (including 9.4% previously diagnosed), and impaired glucose tolerance in 5.9%. Logistic regression analysis controlling for age and sex revealed body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio and family history of diabetes to be significantly independently associated with diabetes.
我们在一项针对492名年龄在30至65岁的巴勒斯坦城市男女的横断面调查中,研究了糖尿病的患病率及相关因素。采用口服葡萄糖耐量试验来诊断糖尿病和糖耐量受损情况。调查遵循了世界卫生组织推荐的方案。在调查人群中,发现12.0%患有糖尿病(其中9.4%为先前已诊断出的),5.9%存在糖耐量受损。在控制年龄和性别的逻辑回归分析中,发现体重指数、腰臀比和糖尿病家族史与糖尿病显著独立相关。
