ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the risk factors of type 2 diabetes mellitus( T2DM)among adults in pinghu County. Methods through multi-stage cluster sampling,a cross sectional study was conducted among adults above 18 years old in one street and eight towns of pinghu County. A total of 3 106 people were randomly selected for this study. They were surveyed including general condition,the history of disease,smoking,drinking and physical exercise. Besides,the participants were also examined for blood glucose,blood lipids,height,weight,blood pressure and waist circumference. Results The prevalence of T2DM was 8. 30% among residents aged above 18 years in pinghu County,and it increased with age( p <0. 01 ). An unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that age,education,hypertension,family history of DM,BMI,waist circumference,physical exercise,TC,TG and HDL -C were significantly associated with T2DM(p<0. 05). Meanwhile,unconditional multivariate logistic regression showed that age was associated with DM, family history of DM(OR =9. 30),hypertension(OR =1. 64),TG(OR =1. 83)and BMI(OR =1. 31)were the risk factors of T2DM. Conclusion The prevalence of T2DM was high. It is necessary to promote the health education through the population and take measure to prevent the disease.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension among the residents aged over the 35 years old in Pinghu City.Methods A total of 3 300 residents aged over 35 years old from 1 0 villages (communities)in Pinghu City were selected by multi -stage stratified cluster sampling method,and were investigated via questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory tests.Results The prevalence rate of hypertension was 32.1 5%,and the standardized rate was 28.30%.Multi -variable logistic regression analysis showed that the major risk factors of hypertension included high age(OR =38.93),overweight(OR =1 .94)and obesity(OR =4.49),family history of hypertension(OR =5.61 ), hypertriglyceridemia(OR =1 .76),Normal weight(OR =0.54)and high education level (OR =0.40)were the protective factors.Conclusion The prevalence of hypertension among the residents aged over 35 years old in Pinghu City is at a high level.It is possible to take comprehensive intervention for hypertension focus on the different risk factors.
