To study the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and diabetes in the elderly residents in Foshan.
A total of 3 382 people above 60 years old participated in this questionnaire-based survey, with their blood pressure, height, body weight, and blood glucose measured and oral glucose tolerance test performed.
The prevalence rates of diabetes in the elderly subjects with obesity, overweight, normal weight, and underweight were 31.58%, 22.84%, 15.65% and 9.40%, respectively. The prevalence rate of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in relation to obesity, overweight, normal weight, and underweight were 67.94%, 56.14%, 46.58% and 38.35%, respectively. A higher mean BMI was accompanied by a greater prevalence of diabetes. The average BMI was 23.9+/-3.3 kg/m(2) in diabetic subjects, 23.4+/-3.4 kg/m(2) in subjects with IGT, and 22.6+/-3.2 kg/m(2) in normal elderly subjects.
There is a close correlation between BMI and diabetes.
研究佛山市老年居民体重指数（BMI）与糖尿病之间的相关性。
共有3382名60岁以上的人参与了这项基于问卷调查的研究，测量了他们的血压、身高、体重和血糖，并进行了口服葡萄糖耐量试验。
肥胖、超重、体重正常和体重过轻的老年受试者的糖尿病患病率分别为31.58%、22.84%、15.65%和9.40%。肥胖、超重、体重正常和体重过轻的糖耐量受损（IGT）患病率分别为67.94%、56.14%、46.58%和38.35%。较高的平均BMI伴随着更高的糖尿病患病率。糖尿病患者的平均BMI为23.9±3.3kg/m²，IGT患者为23.4±3.4kg/m²，正常老年受试者为22.6±3.2kg/m²。
BMI与糖尿病之间存在密切相关性。
