The age- and sex-adjusted prevalence of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) of 494 (76 per cent) Navajo adults living in a reservation community was 10.2 per cent, approximately 60 per cent greater than the estimated prevalence (6.4 per cent) in the general US population. The screening protocol utilized likely underestimates the prevalence of NIDDM in this population. A high proportion of Navajo people were overweight when compared to the general US population.
居住在保留地社区的494名(76%)纳瓦霍成年人中,经年龄和性别调整后的非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病(NIDDM)患病率为10.2%,比美国普通人群的估计患病率(6.4%)高出约60%。所采用的筛查方案可能低估了该人群中NIDDM的患病率。与美国普通人群相比,很大一部分纳瓦霍人体重超标。
