To examine racial/ethnic disparities in the prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes by BMI category.
In a consortium of three U.S. integrated health care systems, 4,906,238 individuals aged ≥20 years during 2012-2013 were included. Diabetes and prediabetes were ascertained by diagnosis and laboratory results; antihyperglycemic medications were also included for diabetes ascertainment.
The age-standardized diabetes and prediabetes prevalence estimates were 15.9% and 33.4%, respectively. Diabetes but not prediabetes prevalence increased across BMI categories among all racial/ethnic groups ( for trend < 0.001). Racial/ethnic minorities reached a given diabetes prevalence at lower BMIs than whites; Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders and Asians had a diabetes prevalence of 24.6% (95% CI 24.1-25.2%) in overweight and 26.5% (26.3-26.8%) in obese class 1, whereas whites had a prevalence of 23.7% (23.5-23.8%) in obese class 2. The age-standardized prediabetes prevalence estimates in overweight among Hispanics (35.6% [35.4-35.7%]), Asians (38.1% [38.0-38.3%]), and Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders (37.5% [36.9-38.2%]) were similar to those in obese class 4 among whites (35.3% [34.5-36.0%]), blacks (36.8% [35.5-38.2%]), and American Indians/Alaskan Natives (34.2% [29.6-38.8%]). In adjusted models, the strength of association between BMI and diabetes was highest among whites (relative risk comparing obese class 4 with normal weight 7.64 [95% CI 7.50-7.79]) and lowest among blacks (3.16 [3.05-3.27]). The association between BMI and prediabetes was less pronounced.
Racial/ethnic minorities had a higher burden of diabetes and prediabetes at lower BMIs than whites, suggesting the role of factors other than obesity in racial/ethnic disparities in diabetes and prediabetes risk and highlighting the need for tailored screening and prevention strategies.
按 BMI 类别检查糖尿病和糖尿病前期的流行率在种族/民族差异中的情况。
在三个美国综合医疗保健系统的联盟中,纳入了 2012-2013 年间年龄≥20 岁的 4906238 个人。通过诊断和实验室结果确定糖尿病和糖尿病前期;也将降血糖药物包括在内以确定糖尿病。
年龄标准化的糖尿病和糖尿病前期的患病率估计分别为 15.9%和 33.4%。在所有种族/民族群体中,随着 BMI 类别增加,糖尿病(趋势<0.001)但不是糖尿病前期的患病率增加。与白人相比,少数民族在较低的 BMI 时就达到了一定的糖尿病患病率;夏威夷/太平洋岛民和亚洲人超重时的糖尿病患病率为 24.6%(95%CI 24.1-25.2%),肥胖 1 级时为 26.5%(26.3-26.8%),而白人肥胖 2 级时的患病率为 23.7%(23.5-23.8%)。超重的西班牙裔(35.6%[35.4-35.7%])、亚洲人(38.1%[38.0-38.3%])和夏威夷/太平洋岛民(37.5%[36.9-38.2%])的年龄标准化糖尿病前期患病率与白人肥胖 4 级(35.3%[34.5-36.0%])、黑人(36.8%[35.5-38.2%])和美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民(34.2%[29.6-38.8%])相似。在调整后的模型中,BMI 与糖尿病之间的关联强度在白人中最高(肥胖 4 级与正常体重相比的相对风险为 7.64[95%CI 7.50-7.79]),在黑人中最低(3.16[3.05-3.27])。BMI 与糖尿病前期之间的关联则不那么明显。
与白人相比,少数民族在较低的 BMI 时就有更高的糖尿病和糖尿病前期负担,这表明在糖尿病和糖尿病前期风险的种族/民族差异中,肥胖以外的因素起作用,并强调需要制定有针对性的筛查和预防策略。
