Epidemiological Study of Diabetes and its Risk Factors in East Azerbaijan, Iran
並列摘要
BACKGROUND: Prevalence of diabetes is increasing in Iran. While national statistics are available for diabetes in Iran, regional statistics are lacking. Therefore, we assessed the prevalence of diabetes and evaluated the relationship of diabetes with its risk factors in East Azerbaijan, Iran. METHODS: A total of 990 men and women aged between 15 and 64 years were enrolled in the study using a cluster-stratified sampling method from East Azerbaijan province, northwest of Iran. Data were collected on demographic, nutritional, risk factors of diabetes and patients’ physical characteristics using a structured questionnaire based on the stepwise guidelines of the World Health Organization in 2007. We calculated the age and gender specific prevalence of diabetes. A hierarchical logistic regression analysis was applied in two steps using the enter method to examine the associations between different risk factors and diabetes. RESULTS: We estimated the crude prevalence of diabetes to be 10.6% (95% CI: 8.7-12.7). The peak prevalence of diabetes was reported among participants between 55 and 64 years. Residence in urban areas (OR: 2.2, 95% CI: 1.4-3.4), family history of diabetes mellitus (OR: 2.6, 95% CI: 1.63- 4.66) and past history of hypertension (OR: 1.6, 95% CI: 1.2-3.1) were most strongly associated with diabetes mellitus (p ＜ 0.001). CONCLUSION: We found high prevalence of diabetes and impaired fasting glucose in the surveyed population. Residence in urban areas, family history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension and age were significantly associated with diabetes mellitus.
