The prevalence of diabetes mellitus and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and their relationship to age and obesity were estimated in Punjab, Pakistan by a population-based survey done in 1998.
Oral glucose tolerance tests were performed in a stratified random sample of 1852 adults aged >or=25 years. The diagnosis of diabetes and IGT were made on the basis of WHO criteria.
The prevalence of diabetes was 12.14% in males and 9.83% in females. Overall total glucose intolerance (diabetes and IGT) was present in 16.68% males and 19.37% females. Central obesity, hypertension and positive family history were strongly associated with diabetes.
These results indicate that the prevalence of glucose intolerance is high in the studied population and comparable with the published data from the other three provinces of Pakistan i.e. Sindh, Baluchistan and North West Frontier Province, studied by the same group.
本研究通过 1998 年在巴基斯坦旁遮普省进行的一项基于人群的调查，估算了糖尿病和糖耐量受损（IGT）的流行率及其与年龄和肥胖的关系。
对年龄≥25 岁的 1852 名成年人进行了分层随机抽样，进行口服葡萄糖耐量试验。根据世界卫生组织（WHO）的标准诊断糖尿病和 IGT。
男性糖尿病患病率为 12.14%，女性为 9.83%。总体来看，男性葡萄糖耐量异常（糖尿病和 IGT）的患病率为 16.68%，女性为 19.37%。中心性肥胖、高血压和阳性家族史与糖尿病密切相关。
这些结果表明，在所研究的人群中，葡萄糖耐量异常的患病率较高，与同一组研究的巴基斯坦其他三个省（信德省、俾路支省和西北边境省）发表的数据相当。
