ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Estimar a prevalência de diabetes melito (DM) e tolerância à glicose diminuída (TGD) na população urbana de 30 a 79 anos da cidade de São Carlos, São Paulo. MÉTODOS: Foi realizado estudo de base populacional entre agosto de 2007 e junho de 2008. Todos os indivíduos, exceto mulheres grávidas, não diabéticos e aqueles com glicemia capilar em jejum < 199 mg/dl foram submetidos a teste oral de tolerância à glicose e classificados em diabéticos, com TGD ou com tolerância normal à glicose. RESULTADOS: Participaram da pesquisa 1.116 voluntários. As prevalências gerais de DM e TGD foram 13,5 por cento e 5 por cento, respectivamente. Houve associação entre DM e TGD e as variáveis "idade", "escolaridade", "índice de massa corpórea" e "circunferência abdominal". Não houve associação entre DM ou TGD e as variáveis "gênero", "cor da pele" e "rendimento mensal". CONCLUSÕES: Houve aumento na prevalência de DM em comparação a estudos anteriores no Brasil e na região. Embora tenha havido avanços no diagnóstico, o tratamento do DM requer otimização.


OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in the urban population aged 30-79 years of the city of São Carlos, São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS: It was performed a population survey, from August 2007 to June 2008. Non diabetic individuals, excluding pregnant women, and those with fasting capillary glycemia < 199 mg/dl were administered oral glucose tolerance test and classified as diabetic, with IGT or with normal glucose tolerance. RESULTS: The number of individuals who participated in the study was 1,116. The overall rates of DM and IGT were 13.5 percent and 5 percent, respectively. DM and IGT were associated with age, education, body mass index and waist. They were not associated with gender, race or income. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of DM has increased when compared with previous studies in Brazil and in the state. Improvement in the diagnosis has occurred, however, treatment requires optimization.
