Diabetes incidence and projections from prevalence surveys in Samoa over 1978–2013

Abstract

ObjectivesThis study estimates type 2 diabetes (T2DM) incidence in Samoans aged 25–64 years from sequential, irregularly spaced, cross-sectional population prevalence surveys.MethodsT2DM prevalence from eight population surveys conducted over 1978–2013 (n = 12,516) was adjusted for census region, sex, and 5-year age group to the nearest previous census. Annual T2DM incidence was calculated from adjusted prevalences (by sex), using birth cohorts constructed from age-period matrices. Projections of T2DM incidence to 2020 were estimated, based on various scenarios of population weight change using Poisson regression.ResultsOver 1978–2013, T2DM incidence was estimated to increase from 1.12 to 8.44 per 1000 person-years in men and from 2.55 to 8.04 per 1000 in women. Based on regression modeling, if mean population weight was stabilized from 2013, absolute incidence reductions of 0.9 per 1000 person-years (7% lower) are predicted in 2020, compared to the current period trend in weight gain.ConclusionsT2DM incidence can be calculated from irregularly conducted population risk factor surveys which may be useful in developing countries with limited resources.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s00038-017-0961-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Obesity and incidence of diabetes: Effect of absence of metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, inflammation and fatty liver

“…Incidence of T2DM was ~90% lower among obese people who do not have any other MetS components, or evidence of IR, inflammation and fatty liver, than among the group with one or more of these metabolic abnormalities. The overall incidence of T2DM in our study is similar to that described in many cohorts from different regions around the world [1,[25][26][27][28][29].…”

Results of a community-based screening programme for chronic kidney disease and associated risk factors, (obesity, diabetes and hypertension) in a Samoan cohort

“…This is the first study in Samoa to use HbA1c testing and the prevalence of 30.8% is likely to reflect the current Samoan prevalence of diabetes. The increasing trends of diabetes and hypertension, have been monitored closely in Samoa6 7 20 21 and have seen the development of MOH policies to address these health issues, which may also have contributed to the difference seen in the prevalence of diabetes.…”

Diabetes Risk Obese Among Indonesian Adults with Metabolic Syndrome by 6-Years Prospective Cohort Study

“…Metabolic syndrome can be a specific composite pattern of risk factors that bring the individual in greater risk of having diabetes. Several conditions of metabolic syndrome include abdominal obesity, impaired glucose regulation, dyslipidemias and hypertension [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”
