“…5 20 However, the prevalence was only 4% in Viet Nam, perhaps due to differences in climate or dietary habits. 19 We also found that the prevalence of prediabetes was slightly lower among urban than rural residents (19% versus 24%, respectively), as was observed in a study in China. 7 In contrast, the prevalence of diabetes was significantly higher among urban than rural residents (15% versus 8%, P < 0.001).…”

“…32 Moreover, studies from both developing and developed countries have found inverse associations between diabetes and educational level and household socioeconomic status, perhaps because the better-educated were more health-conscious. 19,[33][34][35] However, obesity appears to be an independent risk factor for diabetes and a study from Brazil showed that better-educated and wealthier individuals were more likely to be obese. 36 Several other studies in developing countries also showed that the risk of obesity and diabetes increased with socioeconomic status.…”

“…These levels have been used in previous studies in Bangladesh 15 and in other Asian countries. [19][20][21] We investigated whether the following characteristics of individuals, their communities and their households were associated with the risk of diabetes or prediabetes: the respondent's age, sex, marital status, educational level, working status and body mass index; the presence of hypertension, which was defined as a systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg or current treatment with antihypertensive medication; rural or urban residence; region of residence; and household socioeconomic status. Household socioeconomic status was derived from the household wealth index reported in the Bangladesh DHS, which was based on the household's amenities, assets and living conditions.…”

“…Few studies have examined the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and its risk factors in Vietnam [6,7], where type 2 diabetes and obesity are increasingly becoming public health concerns. A difficult aspect of estimating the prevalence of type 2 diabetes is that the disease is often asymptomatic at onset and can remain undiagnosed for several years [7,8], such that in the developed world approximately 50% of individuals with type 2 diabetes are undiagnosed [9].…”

Aims/hypothesis We estimated the current prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the Vietnamese population and developed simple diagnostic models for identifying individuals at high risk of undiagnosed type 2 diabetes. Methods The study was designed as a cross-sectional investigation with 721 men and 1,421 women, who were aged between 30 and 72 years and were randomly sampled from Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) in Vietnam. A 75 g oral glucose tolerance test to assess fasting and 2 h plasma glucose concentrations were determined for each individual. The ADA diagnostic criteria were used to determine the prevalence of type 2 diabetes. WHR and blood pressure were also measured in all individuals.Results The prevalence of type 2 diabetes was 10.8% in men and 11.7% in women. Higher WHR and blood pressure were independently associated with a greater risk of type 2 diabetes. Compared with participants without central obesity and hypertension, the odds of diabetes was increased by 6.4-fold (95% CI 3.2-13.0) in men and 4.1-fold (2.2-7.6) in women with central obesity and hypertension. Two nomograms were developed that help identify men and women at high risk of type 2 diabetes. Conclusions/interpretation The current prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the Vietnamese population is high. Simple field measurements such as waist-to-hip ratio and systolic blood pressure can identify individuals at high risk of undiagnosed type 2 diabetes.

Background Diabetic foot ulcer infection cause great morbidity and mortality among diabetic patients and is a major cause of lower extremity amputation worldwide. This study aimed to determine the profile of aerobic bacteria and their antibiotic sensitivity patterns in diabetic foot infections (DFI) among different Wagner's grades. Methods This study was conducted during December 2017-March 2018 in a Diabetic Center, Sudan. A total of 152 diabetic patients with different grades of foot ulcers were randomly enrolled in the study. The patients were grouped using Wagner's classification. Tissue biopsies and deep swabs were collected from the ulcers for aerobic cultures. The cultured isolates were identified using phenotypic and biochemical properties and their sensitivity to commonly used antibiotics, Colistin, Aikacin, Ciprofloxacin, Augmentin, Ceftazideme, Gentamicin, Clindamycin, Ceftriaxone Meropenum. Cotrimoxazole, Erythomycin, Oxacillin and Vancomycin. Fusidic acid, Imepenem, and Piperacillin was tested using the Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method. Results The mean age of the patients was 54.31 (SD ± 12.1) years, male to female ratio of 8: 1. The mean duration of diabetes was 14 (SD ± 8) years. The ulcers varied in duration from 1 day to 10 years. of 152 samples 181 aerobic bacteria were isolated. Cultures yielded 1-3 isolate per culture. The maximum number was isolated from grade 3 group followed by long standing ulcer LSU group 50.8% and 28% respectively. Polymicrobial infection was higher in LSU (30.4%). The isolates were mostly Gram-negative bacteria. The most frequent were proteus spp. (35.3%), S. aureus MRSA 14.4% and Coliform 12.2% respectively. The most common isolates in grade 3 were P. Mirablis, Staphylococcus and Coliform and in long standing ulcers were P. Mirablis, S. aureus MRSA and Coagulase negative staphylococcus respectively. Conclusion Gram-negative bacteria were more prevalent and the most frequent pathogens were Proteus spp. The
