The aim of this study was to investigate the nutritional intakes and treatment regimens of Korean patients with type 2 diabetes who were aware of their condition.
Participants ( = 16582) aged ≥ 19 years from the 2016-18 National Health and Nutrition Survey were divided into diabetes-aware and unaware groups and the variables were compared.
Among 1,906 (11.5%) diabetic adults, 1,433 (75.2%) were aware of their condition; 130 (9.1%) had nutrition education, and 1,340 (93.5%) were in the diabetes-aware treatment group. The diabetes-aware group had higher average age ( < 0.0001) and lower average BMI ( = 0.0015) than the unaware group. Intake of total fat ( = 0.0034), saturated fatty acids ( = 0.0021), riboflavin ( = 0.0035) and niacin ( = 0.0228) was significantly higher in the unaware group than in the diabetes-aware group, after adjusting energy intake for age and sex. Current smoking ( = 0.0046) and heavy drinking ( < 0.0001) rates were higher in the unaware group, whereas fiber intake ( = 0.0054) was lower in the unaware group. Higher levels of glycated hemoglobin were found in the group treated for diabetes (7.2%) than in the no-treatment (6.8%) group ( = 0.0048). Diabetes control was significantly better in the high income group.
There is a need to strengthen nutritional education to prevent diabetes and improve the health status of diabetic patients in Korea.
本研究旨在调查知晓自身病情的韩国 2 型糖尿病患者的营养摄入和治疗方案。
将 2016-18 年全国健康与营养调查中年龄≥19 岁的参与者(n=16582)分为知晓糖尿病和不知晓糖尿病两组,并对两组变量进行比较。
在 1906 名(11.5%)成年糖尿病患者中,1433 名(75.2%)知晓自身病情;130 名(9.1%)接受了营养教育,1340 名(93.5%)处于知晓糖尿病治疗组。与不知晓组相比,知晓组的平均年龄更高(<0.0001),平均 BMI 更低(=0.0015)。在调整年龄和性别后的能量摄入后,不知晓组的总脂肪(=0.0034)、饱和脂肪酸(=0.0021)、核黄素(=0.0035)和烟酸(=0.0228)的摄入量明显更高。不知晓组的现吸烟率(=0.0046)和重度饮酒率(<0.0001)更高,而膳食纤维摄入量(=0.0054)较低。接受糖尿病治疗组的糖化血红蛋白水平(7.2%)高于未治疗组(6.8%)(=0.0048)。高收入组的糖尿病控制情况明显更好。
韩国需要加强营养教育,以预防糖尿病并改善糖尿病患者的健康状况。
