Diabetes increases the risk for mobility limitation, especially among older persons. Lower extremity disease (LED), which includes peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and peripheral neuropathy (PN), also increases the risk for mobility limitation. To assess the prevalence of mobility limitation among persons with diagnosed diabetes, persons with LED, and persons with both or neither condition, CDC analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2002 for adults aged > or =40 years. This report summarizes the preliminary findings, which indicated that the national prevalence of mobility limitation is higher among persons with either diagnosed diabetes or LED than those without the conditions, and that adults with both conditions have a higher prevalence of mobility limitation than those with either condition alone. Monitoring the prevalence of diabetes, LED, and associated risk factors and identifying effective LED prevention strategies will help reduce the burden of mobility limitation in the United States.
糖尿病会增加行动受限的风险，尤其是在老年人中。下肢疾病（LED），包括外周动脉疾病（PAD）和外周神经病变（PN），也会增加行动受限的风险。为了评估已确诊糖尿病患者、患有LED的患者以及同时患有或两者皆无的患者中行动受限的患病率，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）分析了1999 - 2002年国家健康与营养检查调查（NHANES）中40岁及以上成年人的数据。本报告总结了初步调查结果，结果表明，已确诊糖尿病或患有LED的人群中，行动受限的全国患病率高于未患这些疾病的人群，且同时患有这两种疾病的成年人行动受限的患病率高于仅患其中一种疾病的成年人。监测糖尿病、LED及相关危险因素的患病率，并确定有效的LED预防策略，将有助于减轻美国行动受限的负担。
