Prevalence estimates of Type 2 diabetes and its associated health problems in elderly populations are rare, especially in the very elderly.
A sample of 15 095 community-dwelling older people aged > or = 75 years were assessed. Type 2 diabetes and associated health problems were identified using self-reporting, general practitioner records, drug histories, and blood and urine measurements.
There were 1177 people identified as having Type 2 diabetes mellitus, giving an overall prevalence of 7.8% (95% confidence interval 7.1, 8.5), 9.4% (8.4, 10.5) for men and 6.8% (6.1, 7.6) for women. The age, sex and smoking adjusted odds ratios for various health problems, comparing people with and without diabetes were: low vision 1.6 (1.3, 1.9), proteinuria 1.7 (1.4, 2.1), chronic kidney disease stage 4 or 5 1.5 (1.0, 2.1), angina 1.3 (1.1, 1.6), myocardial infarction 1.5 (1.2, 1.8), cerebrovascular event 2.0 (1.8, 2.1) and foot ulceration 1.7 (1.2, 2.4).
The prevalence of Type 2 diabetes is not high in community-dwelling older people, but diabetes was a contributory factor to a number of health problems.
关于老年人群中2型糖尿病及其相关健康问题的患病率估计较为少见,尤其是在高龄老人中。
对15095名年龄≥75岁的社区居住老年人进行了抽样评估。通过自我报告、全科医生记录、用药史以及血液和尿液检测来确定2型糖尿病及相关健康问题。
共识别出1177名患有2型糖尿病的患者,总体患病率为7.8%(95%置信区间7.1, 8.5),男性患病率为9.4%(8.4, 10.5),女性患病率为6.8%(6.1, 7.6)。在比较患糖尿病和未患糖尿病的人群时,对各种健康问题进行年龄、性别和吸烟因素调整后的优势比为:视力低下1.6(1.3, 1.9),蛋白尿1.7(1.4, 2.1),慢性肾脏病4或5期1.5(1.0, 2.1),心绞痛1.3(1.1, 1.6),心肌梗死1.5(1.2, 1.8),脑血管事件2.0(1.8, 2.1)以及足部溃疡1.7(1.2, 2.4)。
社区居住的老年人中2型糖尿病的患病率并不高,但糖尿病是导致一些健康问题的一个因素。
