The study determined the prevalence of type 2 diabetes, abnormal glucose tolerance and other cardiovascular risk factors in a sample of 250 adults aged > or = 35 years in a semirural area near Sana'a, the capital of Yemen,. The overall crude prevalence of diabetes was 10.4% (95% CI: 6.6%-14.2%) and the age-standardized rate was 6.3% (95% CI: 5.4%-7.2%). The age-standardized rate of having either impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance was 9.0% (95% CI: 6.0%-12.0%) and the age-standardized prevalence of hypertension was 14.2% (95% CI: 13.0%-16.0%). Age and waist circumference were independently related to total glucose intolerance. The observed high frequency of central obesity suggests a dietary origin for these adverse health conditions.
该研究确定了也门首都萨那附近一个半农村地区250名年龄≥35岁的成年人样本中2型糖尿病、糖耐量异常及其他心血管危险因素的患病率。糖尿病的总体粗患病率为10.4%（95%置信区间：6.6%-14.2%），年龄标准化率为6.3%（95%置信区间：5.4%-7.2%）。空腹血糖受损或糖耐量受损的年龄标准化率为9.0%（95%置信区间：6.0%-12.0%），高血压的年龄标准化患病率为14.2%（95%置信区间：13.0%-16.0%）。年龄和腰围与总体糖耐量异常独立相关。观察到的中心性肥胖高频率表明这些不良健康状况源于饮食。
