Epidemiology and risk factors of prediabetes and diabetes in elderly subjects of Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture
Abstract：Objective To study the epidemiology and risk factors of prediabetes and diabetes in elderly subjects of Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture.Methods The epidemiology and risk factors of prediabetes and diabetes in 1845 Bai elderly subjects (939 males and 906 females) aged ≥60 years living in urban and rural areas or urban-rual fringe of Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture were investgated from January 2014 to December 2014 by multistaging and randomized cluster sampling.Results The predvalence of prediabetes was 38.45％ in the 1845 elderly subjects and was significantly higher in males than in females (44.70％ vs 33.00％,P＜0.01).The prevalence of diabetes was 17.02％ in the 1845 elderly subjects with no significant difference found between males and females (20.48％ vs 13.46％,P＞0.05).The prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes was significantly lower in elderly males and females living in urban and rural areas or urban-rual fringe (P＜0.05).UA,high salt diet,food intake volume and family history of diabetes were the independent risk factors for diabetes and prediabetes while milk intake and HDL-C were the protective factors for diabetes and prediabetes.Conclusion The prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes is rather high in elderly subjects of Dali Bai Autonomous prefecture.It is thus important to strengthen diabetes education for the prevention and control of type 2 diabetes,blood pressure,blood glucose,blood lipid,UA and body weight.
