To assess the impact of risk factors such as age, gender, ethnicity, family history, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and hypertension, on the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the Trinidadian population.
A cross-sectional case control study comprised 146 non-diabetics and 147 type 2 diabetics ≥18 years of age, from North Central, South West and Eastern regions of Trinidad.
Cross-tabulations revealed a significant difference between type 2-diabetes and age at p<0.01, and between type 2 diabetes and family history, ethnicity, waist circumference and hypertension at p<0.05. Logistic regression showed age to be the most influential risk factor. The systolic blood pressure specifically showed a significant difference at p<0.05, with the mean values for non-diabetics and type 2 diabetics being, 130.62 (±2.124) and 141.35 (±2.312), respectively. No significant difference was observed between type 2 diabetes and gender and BMI.
Age was the most significant risk factor of type 2 diabetes. Therefore it can be concluded that family history, ethnicity, waist circumference and hypertension are more significant risk factors of this disease than BMI and gender in the Trinidadian population.
评估年龄、性别、种族、家族病史、体重指数（BMI）、腰围和高血压等风险因素对特立尼达人群2型糖尿病发病的影响。
一项横断面病例对照研究，纳入了来自特立尼达中北部、西南部和东部地区的146名非糖尿病患者和147名年龄≥18岁的2型糖尿病患者。
交叉表显示，2型糖尿病与年龄之间在p<0.01时有显著差异，2型糖尿病与家族病史、种族、腰围和高血压之间在p<0.05时有显著差异。逻辑回归显示年龄是最有影响力的风险因素。收缩压在p<0.05时显示出显著差异，非糖尿病患者和2型糖尿病患者的平均值分别为130.62（±2.124）和141.35（±2.312）。2型糖尿病与性别和BMI之间未观察到显著差异。
年龄是2型糖尿病最显著的风险因素。因此，可以得出结论，在特立尼达人群中，家族病史、种族、腰围和高血压是该疾病比BMI和性别更显著的风险因素。
