| Popis: | Aims To explore the current prevalence and risk factors for diabetes and impaired fasting glucose in Northeast China. Methods This study adopted the multistage stratified random cluster sampling method to obtain a representative sample of adults aged 40 years or older in Dehui City, Jilin Province, Northeast China. Diabetes and impaired fasting glucose were defined according to the 1999 World Health Organization criteria. Results A total of 4052 participants were included, with prevalence of diabetes in Northeast China of 11.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 10.1–12.4%); that of diagnosed, 5.9% (95% CI, 5.1–6.8%); and that of impaired fasting glucose, 6.9% (95% CI, 6.0–8.0%). Among them, 52.9% were aware of their condition, 47.7% were receiving antidiabetic medication, and 75.9% had their diabetes controlled. Rural residents were more likely to have diabetes but were less inclined to be aware of and report antidiabetic treatment and to have their diabetes controlled than urban residents. Conclusion Diabetes and impaired fasting glucose were highly prevalent among adults in Northeast China. However, awareness and treatment rates remained relatively low compared with those of developed countries. Health policymakers should put more basic medical and healthcare into rural areas in the future. |
