ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To identify albuminuria prevalence and examine the association of albuminuria with plasma glucose, blood pressure and body mass index in rural Thai people aged 35 and older. MATERIAL ANDMETHOD:
All volunteer adults aged 35 and older at Ban Nayao, Chachoengsao Province were recruited in this cross-sectional study. Macroalbuminuria and microalbuminuria were tested in first morning urine using Combur and Micral Test strips. Fasting plasma glucose, blood pressure, weight and height were determined. Chi-square and multiple logistic regression analysis were used for analysis.RESULTS:
Of the 357 participants, 26.61% had microalbuminuria, 3.08% had macroalbuminuria, and 9.2%, 19%, 7.3% had diabetes, hypertension, and obese, respectively. The prevalence of microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria in people with diabetes were 30.30% and 15.15%, respectively. In the obese, the prevalence was 50% and 3.8% and was 30.88% and 7.35% in the hypertensive group, respectively. Strong significant associations between plasma glucose (p = 0.013), and body mass index (p = 0.008) with the progression of albuminuria were observed. According to multiple logistic regression analysis, diabetes and obesity were independent risk factors for albuminuria statistically significant (p = 0.036 and p = 0.005, respectively, 95% CI).CONCLUSION:
The present study showed increased risk of albuminuria in diabetes and in obese people in a rural area of Thailand. Thus, community-controlled diabetes and weight program should be introduced to the rural community.
