“…Although the validity of self-reported diabetes was proven to be highly accurate in the U.S. 27 , and the validity of self-reported weight and height for calculating BMI was acceptable as an epidemiologic tool, 28,29 there is increasing evidence that the accuracy of self-reported weight and height tends to vary by self-reporter characteristics. 30,31 For example, obese persons tend to under-report their weight while underweight persons tend to overestimate it; thus, our BMI change trajectories in adults with diabetes may be afflicted with "regression to the mean."…”

BACKGROUND: Few longitudinal studies have examined associations between body mass index (BMI) changes in adults with diabetes and the development of disability. OBJECTIVE: To investigate association patterns between BMI and disability in middle-aged adults with diabetes. DESIGN AND SETTING: Retrospective cohort design with data from the 1992-2006 Health and Retirement Study (HRS). A group-based joint trajectory method identified distinct BMI change trajectories and their link to subsequent disability trajectories. PARTICIPANTS: U.S. nationally representative adults aged 51-61 who reported a diagnosis of diabetes in the 1992 HRS (N=1,064). MEASUREMENTS: BMI and self-reported disability score were the main variables. Sociodemographic, clinical, behavioral, and diabetes-related factors were also examined. RESULTS: Four distinct weight trajectories (stable normal weight, 28.7 %; stable overweight, 46.2 %; loss and regain obese, 18.0 %; weight cumulating morbidly obese, 7.1 %) and three disability trajectories (little or low increase, 34.4 %; moderate increase, 45.4 %; chronic high increase, 20.2 %) best characterized the long-term patterns of BMI and disability change in middle-aged adults with diabetes. Adults in stable normal weight had the highest probability of being in the little/low increase disability group; however, one in five adults in that group progressed into chronic high disability, a higher proportion compared to the stable overweight group. CONCLUSIONS: Although there were various ways in which the two trajectories were linked, the beneficial impacts of optimizing weight in adults with diabetes were supported. In addition, the complexity of diabetes control in those with relatively normal weight was highlighted from this study.

“…Selfreports run the risk of false-positive and false-negative diagnoses. With regard to diabetes, however, recent studies comparing patients' self-reports with physicians' diagnoses have reported moderate to high agreement rates, lowering the risk of misclassification bias [58][59][60].…”

Healthcare costs in patients with diabetes mellitus and comorbid mental disorders—a systematic review

Aims/hypothesis We systematically reviewed the impact of comorbid mental disorders on healthcare costs in persons with diabetes. Method We conducted a comprehensive search for studies investigating adult persons (≥18 years old) with diabetes mellitus. All studies that allowed comparison of healthcare costs between diabetic patients with mental disorders and those without were included. Results We identified 4,273 potentially relevant articles from a comprehensive database search. Of these, 31 primary studies (39 publications) fulfilled inclusion criteria, of which 27 examined comorbid depression. Hospitalisation rates and hospitalisation costs, frequency and costs of outpatient visits, emergency department visits, medication costs and total healthcare costs were mainly increased with small to moderate effect sizes in patients with diabetes and comorbid mental disorders compared with diabetic patients without such problems. Frequency (standardised mean difference [SMD]=0.35-1.26) and costs (SMD= 0.33-0.85) of mental health specialist visits were increased in the group with mental health comorbidity. Results regarding diabetes-related preventive services were inconsistent but point to a reduced utilisation rate in diabetic patients with comorbid mental disorders. Statistical heterogeneity between studies was high (I 2 range 64-98%).Pooled overall effects are therefore not reported. Studies included differ substantially regarding sample selection, assessment of diabetes and comorbid mental disorders, as well as in assessment of cost variables. Conclusions/interpretation In light of the increased healthcare costs and inadequate use of preventive services, comorbid mental disorders in patients with diabetes must become a major focus of diabetes healthcare and research.

“…Another alternative is the use of self-reported information that is obtained quickly and at a low cost, enabling their adoption in populational studies. However, owing to some biases -lack of knowledge on the information of interest by the respondent, memory bias, and the desire not to inform the prevalence of the disease or the fact that it is still not diagnosed -there is the need of assessing the reliability of the self-reported diabetes 13,14 . Given the above-mentioned scenario, the objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of the factors associated with self-reported diabetes in elderly population and verify the correlation between DM medication and the information about the disease.…”

ABSTRACT:Objectives: To assess the prevalence and factors associated with diabetes in the elderly population and verify the correlation between the use of medications for diabetes and information about the disease. Methods: This epidemiological cross-sectional study was conducted in Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil, with 621 elderly people aged 60 years or older selected by simple random sampling. A semi-structured questionnaire was used as a research tool and included questions about socioeconomic conditions, lifestyle, health conditions, and nutritional status. The weight, height, and waist circumference were measured. The dependent variable was the self-reported diabetes. In the association analysis between explanatory variables and self-reported diabetes, the Poisson regression analysis with robust variance was used. In the bivariate analysis, a p value < 0.25 was used to include the variables for the multivariate modeling, and in the final model, the variables with p value < 0.10 association were included. Results: The prevalence of diabetes was 22.4%. The multivariate hierarchical analysis showed the following factors independently and positively associated with diabetes: gender, self-reported health, history of hypertension/dyslipidemia, polypharmacy, and waist circumference. The elderly schooling was negatively associated with diabetes. Conclusion: The results showed the need for implementation of educational public policies to promote behavior changes of the population to prevent and control diabetes and its complications.
