As a follow-up to surveys conducted three years ago among the Micronesian population of Nauru, the incidence and prevalence of diabetes mellitus was studied in 433 subjects aged 20 years and older. The diagnosis of diabetes was based on a 2-h plasma glucose of 200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l), enabling comparison with the Rochester, U.S.A., (Caucasian) and Pima (American Indian) studies. In both sexes the prevalence rate rose steadily with age, and the overall prevalence was 24% for both sexes. The overall incidence rate was 15.4 per 1,000 person-years. However, males had almost twice the incidence of the females (20.2% vs 11.5%). The incidence rate of diabetes in Nauruans was considerably higher than that found in Rochester and was second to that of the Pimas as the highest rate reported in the literature.
作为三年前对瑙鲁密克罗尼西亚人群进行的调查的后续研究，对433名20岁及以上的受试者进行了糖尿病发病率和患病率的研究。糖尿病的诊断基于2小时血浆葡萄糖水平为200mg/dl（11.1mmol/l），从而能够与美国罗切斯特（白种人）和皮马（美洲印第安人）的研究进行比较。在男女两性中，患病率均随年龄稳步上升，总体患病率为24%。总体发病率为每1000人年15.4例。然而，男性的发病率几乎是女性的两倍（20.2%对11.5%）。瑙鲁人的糖尿病发病率远高于罗切斯特的发病率，在文献报道的发病率中仅次于皮马人，位居第二。
