RESUMO
Objective@#To investigate the prevalence of diabetes among individuals at high risk of diabetes in Baoshan District, Shanghai Municipality, so as to provide insights into community-based diabetes management. @*Methods@#Permanent residents at ages of 35 years and older were sampled from Baoshan District using a multistage stratified cluster sampling method, and residents at a high risk of diabetes were screened using the Form for Risk Assessment of Diabetes among Community Residents in Shanghai Municipality. Participants' demographics, disease history and history of medication were collected using questionnaire surveys, and height, body weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, and blood pressure were measured. Diabetes was screened using fasting blood glucose and glucose tolerance test. The factors affecting the development of diabetes were identified among high-risk residents for diabetes using a multivariable logistic regression model.@*Results@#A total of 3 107 residents at a high risk for diabetes were enrolled, including 1 165 men (37.50%) and 1 942 women (62.50%) with a mean age of (63.58±9.77) years. The prevalence of diabetes was 21.69% among the study subjects, and multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that men (OR=1.689, 95%CI: 1.357-2.104), age (40 years-, OR=4.833, 95%CI: 1.036-22.553; 50 years-, OR=2.627, 95%CI: 1.432-4.819; 60 years-, OR=1.551, 95%CI: 1.119-2.150; 70 years and older, OR=1.579, 95%CI: 1.232-2.025); high school/technical secondary school (OR=2.677, 95%CI: 1.636-4.380), overweight/obesity (OR=1.891, 95%CI: 1.447-2.472), hypertension (OR=1.306, 95%CI: 1.049-1.626), dyslipidemia (OR=1.428, 95%CI: 1.114-1.831), history of impaired glucose regulation (OR=15.161, 95%CI: 11.827-19.434) and family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (OR=2.092, 95%CI: 1.619-2.704) caused an increased risk of diabetes among residents at a high risk diabetes.@*Conclusions@#The prevalence of diabetes was 21.69% among high-risk populations of diabetes in Baoshan District. Gender, age, educational level, overweight/obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, history of impaired glucose regulation and family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus are factors affecting the development of diabetes among high-risk populations.
