The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is on the Increase in the world from year to year. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of DM and other carbohydrate metabolic disturbances in the adult population (aged 45 years or more) living in an area of the Republic of Lithuania in 2003 to 2004, depending on age and gender, and the rate of DM risk factors. A random adult sample comprised 116 adults (561 males and 555 females). A questionnaire survey was conducted; anthropometric indices were defined. Carbohydrate metabolism was evaluated by the 1999 World Health Organization's recommendations. The prevalence of DM2 was 5 0%; that of glucose intolerance and impaired fasting glycemia was 22.3 and 10.8%, respectively. The prevalence of carbohydrate metabolic disturbances tended to increase with age. In patients with DM, the rate of its risk factors is much higher than that in individuals with normal carbohydrate metabolism. |
