The authors analyze the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Dagestan, a republic with various climatic and geographic zones, whose population belongs to a great variety of ethnic groups, over 1987-1991. The findings evidence a lower prevalence of this condition in Dagestan than in other regions, but there is a trend to an annual increment in the morbidity, mostly at the expense of Type II diabetes. The urban residents of Dagestan more often develop the disease, may be due to the fact that wine-making industry is concentrated mainly in town. In the country diabetes mellitus in more incident on the planes, less incident in the foothills, and still less incident in the mountains. The highlanders, when they come to the planes, develop diabetes mellitus as frequently as the residents of the planes. Of the ethnic groups the Russians suffer from the disease most frequently, then come the Kumyks, Lakts, Darghines, Lezghines, Aguls, Tabasaranes; the Avares and Rutules are the least frequent among the diabetics. Preventive measures should be concentrated mostly in towns and on the planes. These specific features of diabetes mellitus epidemiology should be taken into consideration when organizing a net of endocrine service.
作者分析了1987 - 1991年期间达吉斯坦共和国糖尿病的患病率。该共和国拥有不同的气候和地理区域，其人口属于众多不同的民族。研究结果表明，达吉斯坦这种疾病的患病率低于其他地区，但发病率有逐年上升的趋势，主要以II型糖尿病为代价。达吉斯坦的城市居民更易患此病，这可能是因为酿酒业主要集中在城镇。在该国，糖尿病在平原地区发病率更高，在山麓地区发病率较低，在山区发病率更低。高地人来到平原地区时，患糖尿病的频率与平原地区居民相同。在各个民族中，俄罗斯人患这种疾病最为频繁，其次是库梅克人、拉克茨人、达尔金人、列兹金人、阿古尔人、塔巴萨兰人；阿瓦尔人和鲁图尔人患糖尿病的频率最低。预防措施应主要集中在城镇和平原地区。在组织内分泌服务网络时，应考虑到糖尿病流行病学的这些特点。
