Prevalence and Risk Factors for Self-Report Diabetes Mellitus: A Population-Based Study

Abstract

The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and risk factors for self-reported diabetes mellitus (DM) in the adult population of the Central-West region of Brazil. In 2013, a cross-sectional study using the data from the National Health Survey and comprising 7519 individuals aged ≥18 years from the Central-West region was conducted. Participants were interviewed at their homes about sociodemographic data and risk factors for DM. To verify the risk factors with DM, the Poisson regression model was used. The analyses were performed for the total sample and stratified according to sex. The prevalence of DM was 6.5% (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 5.7–7.3). The diagnosis of self-reported DM was 4.3% in men and 7.5% in women. In the global sample, it was found that age between 40–59 years and ≥60 years, previous smoking (former smoker), self-reported hypertension, self-reported dyslipidemia, overweight, and obesity were independently associated with self-reported DM. In men, risk factors were: Age ≥ 60 years, self-reported hypertension, self-reported dyslipidemia, and obesity. In women, risk factors were: Age 30–39 years, 40–59 years, and ≥60 years, previous smoking (former smoker), self-reported hypertension, self-reported dyslipidemia, overweight, and obesity. Conclusion: The prevalence of DM was 6.5%. DM was associated with advanced age; previous smoking (former smoker), hypertension, dyslipidemia, overweight, and obesity. Some differences in risk factors between men and women were noted.

Efetividade De Um Programa De Educação De Enfermagem Em Pessoas Com Diabetes Tipo 2 Na Atenção Primária: Ensaio Clínico Randomizado

“…Sobre as características sociodemográficas, houve predominância do sexo feminino, resultado que pode ser interpretado sob a perspectiva da divisão sexual do trabalho, onde caberia à mulher o cuidado com o lar e a saúde da família, garantindo a ela o maior acesso aos serviços de saúde (2,20) . Estudo explica este resultado sob a perspectiva da divisão sexual do trabalho, onde pertenceria à mulher o cuidado da casa e da família, assegurando seu acesso aos serviços de saúde, além de favorecer maior interesse com seus próprios cuidados de saúde (21) .…”

“…Houve predomínio de participantes com até o ensino fundamental incompleto, corroborando com achados de outros estudos (2,20,23) . Destaca-se que o desenvolvimento do diabetes não depende da escolaridade, podendo acometer pessoas de todos os níveis socioeconômicos.…”

“…O tempo de diabetes foi, predominantemente, superior a 5 anos, indicando uma amostra com maior chance de desenvolver complicações (16,20,8) .…”

Advances and challenges of the cell-based therapies among diabetic patients

“…T1DM primarily arises from autoimmune-related damage of insulin-secreting beta cells, resulting in severe hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis [ 6 ]. In contrast, T2DM generally has a more gradual onset characterized by insulin resistance along with diminished compensatory insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cell dysfunction [ 7 ]. Diabetes is associated with macrovascular complications such as heart disease and stroke, as well as microvascular issues in eyes, kidneys, and nervous system [ 8 ].…”

Non-coding RNAs in diabetes mellitus and diabetic cardiovascular disease

“…Despite advances in medical care, there is still no complete cure for DM. Numerous risk factors for DM have been identified, but the specific mechanisms underlying the development of DM are not yet fully understood ( 4 , 5 ). Existing studies suggest that numerous signaling pathways involved in the development of DM.…”
