Objective: To evaluate the 10-year risk of developing type 2 diabetes and barriers of its identification among vulnerable population with low incomes in Chui region of Kyrgyz Republic. Methods: The study involved 227 respondents aged 18 to 86 years, including 43 men and 184 women living in the Chui region. The FINDRISK questionnaire and a map of barriers were used for stratification of risks of type 2 diabetes. Results: Stratification of the risks of type 2 diabetes has identified following: in the group of men there were 18,6% respondents who have less than 7 points, i.e. lower risk of developing diabetes in the next 10 years; 46.6% had 7-11 points, i.e. slightly increased risk of developing diabetes; 18.6% had 12-14 points, i.e. average risk of developing diabetes; 16.2% respondents have 15-20 points, i.e. high developing of diabetes, and nobody had more than 20 points, i.e. very high risk of developing diabetes. In the group of women 8.7% respondents had less than 7 points, i.e. lower risk of developing diabetes; 39.6% had 7-11 points, i.e., slightly increased risk of developing diabetes; 32% had 12-14 points, i.e. average risk of developing diabetes; 19.7% had 15-20 points, i.e. higher risk of developing diabetes, and nobody had more than 20 points, i.e. very high risk of developing diabetes. The main barriers to identify risk factors for diabetes were low level of awareness about diabetes, low level of priority of diabetes prevention and financial inaccessibility of methods for detection of diabetes. Conclusion: In Kyrgyzstan, the prevalence of risk factors of type 2 diabetes among vulnerable populations is distributed consequently in following order: in male - hypertension, inadequate intake of fruit and vegetables and visceral obesity, in female - dominated visceral obesity, hypertension and irregular consumption of vegetables and fruits. |
