RESUMEN
Una de las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles más prevalentes del adulto mayor es la Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DM2). En este grupo poblacional la DM2 se asocia a pérdida de funcionalidad, reducción de masa muscular, aumento de comorbilidades y muerte prematura, afectando significativamente la calidad de vida. Objetivo Establecer la prevalencia de DM2 y sus complicaciones crónicas en el adulto mayor. Pacientes y métodos Estudio descriptivo, transversal. Se estudiaron a 27469 pacientes adultos mayores con DM2 que acudieron a la consulta externa del Hospital General Enrique Garcés. Se investigó edad, género, etnia, zona de vivienda, nivel de instrucción, comorbilidades, tiempo de la enfermedad, medidas antropométricas, exámenes de laboratorio, complicaciones crónicas y tratamiento. Los datos fueron analizados en el programa Estadístico para las Ciencias Sociales (SPSS) v24. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo y estadística inferencial. Resultados El 71.13% (19538) fueron mujeres, 66.5% (18267) tenía educación primaria, 68% (18679) era diabéticos más de 10 años; 85% (23349) tenían hipertensión arterial (HTA). Las complicaciones encontradas fueron neuropatía, micro albuminuria patológica, retinopatía y pie diabético, 11.86% (3258) pacientes tuvieron una hemoglobina glicosilada (HbA1C) dentro de parámetros normales. Conclusiones La prevalencia de DM2 entre adultos mayores de 75 años fue del 14%, y la presencia de complicaciones crónicas estuvo relacionada al mayor tiempo de evolución de la enfermedad junto a valores de HbA1C más altos.
ABSTRACT
One of the most prevalent chronic noncommunicable diseases of the older adult is type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2). In this population group DM2 is associated with loss of functionality, reduced muscle mass, increased comorbidities and premature death, significantly affecting quality of life. Objective To establish the prevalence of DM2 and its chronic complications in the elderly. Patients and methods Descriptive, cross-sectional study. 27469 older adult patients with 2DM who attended the outpatient clinic of the Enrique Garcés General Hospital were studied. Age, gender, ethnicity, area of residence, level of education, comorbidities, time of illness, anthropometric measurements, laboratory tests, chronic complications, and treatment were investigated. The data was analyzed in the Statistical Program for Social Sciences (SPSS) v24. A descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was performed. Results The 71.13% (19538) were women, 66.5% (18267) had a primary education, 68% (18679) were diabetics over 10 years; 85% (23349) had high blood pressure (HT). The complications found were neuropathy, pathological micro albuminuria, retinopathy and diabetic foot, 11.86% (3258) patients had a glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) within normal parameters. Conclusions The prevalence of DM2 among adults over 75 years of age was 14%, and the presence of chronic complications was related to the longer evolution time of the disease along with higher HbA1C values.
