To investigate the prevalence of type II diabetes and pre-diabetes and its risk factors in the District Dir Lower Pakistan.
This study was a population based cross--sectional analysis of 1650 individuals of age 20--80 years, using cluster random sampling technique. After an overnight fast, diabetes and pre-diabetes were analyzed according to the World Health Organization recommendation.
The prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes was 11.1% and 16.0%, respectively. Type II diabetes was found 11.0% in female and 11.2% in male subjects. Stepwise multiple logistic regression showed that growing age, positive family history, body mass index (obesity), hypertension, exercise (less physical activates), education, monthly income, are statistically significant risk factors with type II diabetes.
Our results suggest that type II diabetes has become a main health problem in District Dir Lower and better strategies are required to handle this problem.
调查巴基斯坦下迪尔地区2型糖尿病和糖尿病前期的患病率及其危险因素。
本研究采用整群随机抽样技术,对1650名年龄在20至80岁之间的个体进行基于人群的横断面分析。经过一夜禁食后,根据世界卫生组织的建议对糖尿病和糖尿病前期进行分析。
糖尿病和糖尿病前期的患病率分别为11.1%和16.0%。在女性和男性受试者中,2型糖尿病的患病率分别为11.0%和11.2%。逐步多元逻辑回归显示,年龄增长、家族史阳性、体重指数(肥胖)、高血压、运动(体力活动较少)、教育程度、月收入是2型糖尿病的统计学显著危险因素。
我们的结果表明,2型糖尿病已成为下迪尔地区的主要健康问题,需要更好的策略来处理这一问题。
