OBJECTIVE
To examine the relation of diagnosed diabetes mellitus (DM) to the level of education and body mass index (BMI) among the elderly of seven cities using data from SABE.
METHODS
The SABE survey was based on a probabilistic sample of the elderly population.
RESULTS
Results: The prevalence of diagnosed diabetes among the elderly was 15.7% (95% CI 14.7-16.8), with the highest prevalence reported in Bridgetown and the lowest in Buenos Aires.
DISCUSSION
There was a high prevalence of diagnosed DM among the elderly of the seven cities. The prevalence of diagnosed DM was strongly associated with BMI and low education. The inclusion of these factors in policies and programs aiming to reduce the prevalence of diabetes among the elderly is recommended.
目的
利用巴西老年健康与衰老研究（SABE）的数据，研究七个城市老年人中已确诊糖尿病（DM）与教育水平和体重指数（BMI）之间的关系。
方法
SABE调查基于老年人群的概率样本。
结果
老年人中已确诊糖尿病的患病率为15.7%（95%可信区间14.7 - 16.8），布里奇敦报告的患病率最高，布宜诺斯艾利斯最低。
讨论
七个城市的老年人中已确诊糖尿病的患病率很高。已确诊糖尿病的患病率与BMI和低教育水平密切相关。建议在旨在降低老年人糖尿病患病率的政策和项目中纳入这些因素。
