The prevalence of pre-diabetes is increasing globally with more than 470 million people projected to develop pre-diabetes by 2030. In Africa, the average prevalence of pre-diabetes was estimated at 7.3% in 2015 and affected individual will develop type 2 diabetes mellitus within few decades. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of pre-diabetes and associated risk factors among residents of Iganga municipality. A cross-sectional study was conducted among males and females aged 13-60 years. District health office provided updated household list from which sampling of the villages was performed based on probability proportionate to population. Consented participants were prepared for the study, allowing fasting for 8 to 10 h before blood collection the next morning. Individuals with impaired fasting glucose, were subjected to OGTT.
130 participants were enrolled, of which 98 were women. The mean age of the participants was 35 years. The prevalence of pre-diabetes was 3.8%. The proportion of impaired glucose tolerance was higher in current smokers (p = 0.01), obese participants (p = 0.002) and hypertensive participants (p < 0.001). Prevalence of pre-diabetes is high in this community and is associated with current smoking, hypertension and high BMI.
全球糖尿病前期的患病率正在上升，预计到2030年将有超过4.7亿人患糖尿病前期。在非洲，2015年糖尿病前期的平均患病率估计为7.3%，受影响的个体将在几十年内发展为2型糖尿病。本研究的目的是确定伊甘加市居民中糖尿病前期的患病率及相关危险因素。对13至60岁的男性和女性进行了一项横断面研究。地区卫生办公室提供了最新的家庭名单，据此根据与人口成比例的概率对村庄进行抽样。同意参与研究的参与者为研究做好准备，允许在第二天早上采血前禁食8至10小时。空腹血糖受损的个体接受口服葡萄糖耐量试验（OGTT）。
共招募了130名参与者，其中98名是女性。参与者的平均年龄为35岁。糖尿病前期的患病率为3.8%。当前吸烟者（p = 0.01）、肥胖参与者（p = 0.002）和高血压参与者（p < 0.001）的糖耐量受损比例更高。该社区糖尿病前期的患病率很高，并且与当前吸烟、高血压和高体重指数有关。
