Prevalence and clinical profile of diabetes mellitus in productive aged urban Indonesians

Abstract

Aims/IntroductionTo estimate the prevalence and clinical profile of diabetes mellitus in productive aged urban Indonesians based on the National Basic Health Research 2007.Materials and MethodsThe statistical analyses of a cross‐sectional survey included the data of 15,332 adults, aged 18–55 years, living in an urban area. Blood glucose was measured by an automatic clinical chemistry analyzer by 2‐h, 75‐g post glucose load after an overnight fast. Weight, height, waist circumference and blood pressure data were measured and recorded, whereas the sociodemographic and prior illness data were collected by interviewing the participants.ResultsThe prevalence of diabetes mellitus in productive age urban Indonesians was 4.6%, consisting of 1.1% previously diagnosed diabetes mellitus and 3.5% undiagnosed diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus affected more women than men, which increased with age, was higher among the high socioeconomic group and increased with increasing body mass index. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus was higher in centrally obese people. Hypertension was highly related with diabetes mellitus occurrence. The prevalence of previously diagnosed diabetes mellitus with overweight or obese was 68.4%, with central obesity 41.7%, with hypertension 41.4% and with dyslipidemia more than 50%. The prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes respondents with overweight or obese was 68,7%, with central obesity 43.8%, with hypertension 49.4% and with dyslipidemia more than 50%.ConclusionsThese results show that comprehensive strategies for the prevention and control of the problem of diabetes are urgently required.

Whereas, Widjaja et al, reported that within sex groups, the prevalence of prehypertension was higher in females.…”

“…Diabetes mellitus as one of the non-communicable diseases (PTM) has a high prevalence in Indonesia. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Indonesia based on doctor's diagnosis and symptoms experienced by patients reaches 6.9% or around 12 million people through respodent Indonesian society over 15 years [2].

The profile of diabetes healthcare professionals in Indonesia: a scoping review

“…However, research results on diabetes prevalence rates usually do not distinguish between diabetes type 1 and 2 (Mihardja et al. ; National Institute for Health Research and Development ; Soegondo et al. ).…”

“…) and wide‐ranging approaches are required for screening, preventing and managing diabetes and the complications (Mihardja et al. ). These management approaches need to involve healthcare professionals (HCPs) from various health disciplines (Soewondo et al.…”
