The risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Pakistani immigrants is high. The aim of this study was to provide an update of the risk of T2D and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in female Pakistani immigrants living in Oslo, Norway. Female Pakistani immigrants (n = 198, age 25-63) were interviewed, and data related to T2D, including anthropometric measurements, blood data, heart rate, and level of physical activity, were determined. Ninety-eight percentage had body mass index (BMI > 23 kg m(-2)) and 39% were obese (BMI ≥ 30). Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) was found in 37%, MetS in 41%, and T2D in 13%, using fasting glucose. By score evaluation, approximately 90% had risk of T2D. The participants had low energy expenditure, despite acceptable number of steps walked during a day. The risk of T2D is very high in female Pakistani immigrants in Oslo.
巴基斯坦移民患 2 型糖尿病(T2D)的风险很高。本研究旨在提供生活在挪威奥斯陆的女性巴基斯坦移民患 T2D 和代谢综合征(MetS)的风险更新信息。对 198 名年龄在 25-63 岁的女性巴基斯坦移民进行了访谈,并确定了与 T2D 相关的数据,包括人体测量数据、血液数据、心率和身体活动水平。98%的人体重指数(BMI > 23 kg m(-2)),39%的人肥胖(BMI ≥ 30)。使用空腹血糖,发现 37%的人存在葡萄糖耐量受损(IGT),41%的人存在代谢综合征,13%的人患有 T2D。通过评分评估,约 90%的人有患 T2D 的风险。尽管参与者每天走的步数可接受,但他们的能量消耗仍然很低。在奥斯陆的女性巴基斯坦移民中,T2D 的风险非常高。
