Prevalence and incidence of known diabetes mellitus in Finnish subjects aged 30 years or over in 1970-1987 were investigated using a nationwide register of drug recipients and four population surveys. On the basis of the drug-register data, the prevalence of drug-treated diabetes in men increased from 1.5% in 1970 to 2.8% in 1987. In women, the prevalence increased from 2.1% in 1970 to 3.0% in 1979 and declined thereafter slightly to 2.7% in 1987. The increase in the prevalence of drug-treated diabetes was mainly due to the increase of diabetes in the age groups 60 years and older. The prevalence of all known diabetic subjects in the population studies increased from 2.1% in the health examination survey of 1966-1972 (n = 38,676) to 3.5% in the interview survey of 1976 (n = 10,657) and to 4.5% in the health examination survey of 1979-1980 (n = 7,217) but decreased to 3.3% in the interview survey in 1987 (n = 9,522). The increased prevalence of obesity in men and better survival may be important factors contributing to the increasing prevalence rates of diabetes in Finnish subjects aged 30 years and over.
利用全国药物接受者登记册和四项人口调查，对1970年至1987年芬兰30岁及以上人群中已知糖尿病的患病率和发病率进行了调查。根据药物登记数据，接受药物治疗的男性糖尿病患病率从1970年的1.5%增至1987年的2.8%。女性患病率从1970年的2.1%增至1979年的3.0%，此后略有下降，1987年降至2.7%。接受药物治疗的糖尿病患病率增加主要是由于60岁及以上年龄组糖尿病增加。在人口研究中，所有已知糖尿病患者的患病率从1966 - 1972年健康检查调查中的2.1%（n = 38,676）增至1976年访谈调查中的3.5%（n = 10,657），再增至1979 - 1980年健康检查调查中的4.5%（n = 7,217），但在1987年访谈调查中降至3.3%（n = 9,522）。男性肥胖患病率增加和更好的生存率可能是导致芬兰30岁及以上人群糖尿病患病率上升的重要因素。
