“…The predominance of the "young old", represented by the study participants' mean age of 73.2 years, is in line with research using demographic data [21]. On the other hand, researchers reported an important percentage of older adults over 80 years of age (about 12%) [22], which is also in line with the findings of the present study (15.3%). These people need careful monitoring given the increased risk of health problems in this age group.…”

To assess satisfaction with quality of life in older adults with DM2.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of older adults with DM2 receiving specialized care through Brazil's National Health System. We used a questionnaire to assess health status and collect sociodemographic data and the SF-36 to asses QoL. Data were analyzed using the R statistis software and significance level of 5%.Results: Participants were 248 older adults aged 65-94 years (mean age: 73.2 ± 6.4 years). There was a predominance of: individuals aged 70-79 years (118, 47.6%), women (140, 56.5%), married individuals (142, 57.3%), individuals with up to seven years of study (161, 64.9%), retirees (232, 93.5%), individuals with monthly income of up to two minimum wages (176, 71.0%), diagnosis duration of 1-10 years (129; 52%); foot wound (25; 10.1%); and amputation (15; 6.0%). The variables that remained related to each domain in the regression model were: physical functioningage (p=0.007), education (p=0.015), income (p=0.006), retirement (p=0.037), DM2 duration (p=0.011); physical role limitationincome (p=0.005); paingender (p=0.031), income (p=0.027); vitalityage (p=0.007), race (p=0.011), gender (p=0.011), education (p=0.018); social role functioningage (p=0.005), education (p=0.043), income (p=0.005); emotional role functioningincome (p=0.004); mental healthgender (p=0.003), income (p=0.025). Conclusion:Older adults with diabetes were less satisfied with QoL, thus demonstrating that the impact of diabetes cannot be measured solely by using clinical parameters such as glycemic control and the presence of comorbities.

“…Most of these programs, and most of the research surrounding diabetes education in the elderly, has focused on the education of diabetes self-management. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] These types of interventions are beneficial to elderly patients aware of and living with diabetes, however, as seen in this analysis, slightly over 30% of typical community-dwelling older adults are not aware of their risk for diabetes. This data indicates that there is a large population of seniors in the community that may not be getting the appropriate screening for diabetes or gain benefit from the current model of education.…”

BackgroundType two diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that is becoming more common in the United States. Since 1980, the number of cases of diabetes in the U.S. has more than tripled, from 5.6 million to 20.9 million.1 The incidence of diabetes in the senior population is approximately 26.9% which translates to roughly 10.9 million people aged 65 or older with either diagnosed or undiagnosed diabetes.2 By 2050 the number of elderly patients with diabetes is expected to reach epidemic proportions.3 Projections from 2000 estimate that the number of diagnosed diabetes cases will rise by 252% in women aged 65 to 74 and by 537% in men aged 75 and older.2,3 Current data also shows that up to 50% of the US population aged 65 and older has pre-diabetes (a hemoglobin A 1c of 5.7 -6.4%).

“…Of the 23 original studies that were identified in the 25 publications, 18 (78%) were from low mortality developing countries (Iran, 23,[34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] Argentina, 42,43 Turkey, 44,45 South Korea, 46 China, 47,48 Malaysia, 49 and a combination of 27 selected developing countries 50,51 ); 5 were from 2 high mortality developing countries (South Africa [52][53][54] and India [55][56][57] ) (Tables 1 and 2). Most studies from low mortality developing countries were experimental, and except for 1, those from high mortality developing countries were quasi experimental (Tables 1 and 2).…”
