This article examines the prevalence and incidence of diabetes among Canadians aged 18 or older and risk factors associated with developing the condition.
The data are from the 1994/95, 1996/97, 1998/99 and 2000/01 National Population Health Survey and the 2000/01 Canadian Community Health Survey, both conducted by Statistics Canada.
Descriptive statistics on the prevalence and incidence of self-reported diabetes were computed. Multiple logistic regression was used to identify predictors of incident diabetes. Age-adjusted rates were used to compare diabetic and non-diabetic respondents on a variety of health measures.
In 2000/01, 4.5% of Canadians aged 18 or older, an estimated 1.1 million, reported having diabetes. The incidence from 1994/95 to 2000/01 was 4.9 new cases per 1,000 person-years at risk. When the possible confounding effects of a number of factors were taken into account, advancing age, family history, sedentary leisure time and excess weight were associated with developing diabetes.
本文研究了18岁及以上加拿大人群中糖尿病的患病率和发病率，以及与患该病相关的风险因素。
数据来自加拿大统计局开展的1994/95、1996/97、1998/99和2000/01年全国人口健康调查，以及2000/01年加拿大社区健康调查。
计算了自我报告糖尿病的患病率和发病率的描述性统计数据。采用多元逻辑回归来确定糖尿病发病的预测因素。年龄调整率用于比较糖尿病患者和非糖尿病患者在各种健康指标上的差异。
在2000/01年，18岁及以上的加拿大人中有4.5%，即约110万人报告患有糖尿病。1994/95年至2000/01年的发病率为每1000人年有4.9例新发病例。考虑到一些因素可能产生的混杂效应后，年龄增长、家族病史、久坐的休闲时间和超重与患糖尿病有关。
