“…In a study carried out in the urban area of the same city, with a sample of 1,515 individuals with DM2 and 40 years old or more, the prevalence of ulceration risk in diabetics was 13.5% (11) . The prevalence of the ulceration risk was also higher than that found in a study carried out with people with DM living in a rural region of the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, in which 26.5% presented some degree of risk, and 20.3% 1, 12.3% degree 2 and 4.4% degree 3 (12) .…”

Para o cálculo do índice de massa corpórea (IMC) foi verificado o peso com o mínimo de roupas possível e a altura sem sapatos.…”

“…A variável anos de estudo se mostrou associada estatisticamente à maior prevalência de risco à ulceração dos pés, sendo que quanto menor a escolaridade, maior risco à ulceração. O baixo grau de escolaridade é um fator importante a ser considerado no planejamento das ações educativas necessárias ao controle do DM2, pois pode interferir na compreensão do indivíduo sobre os cuidados prescritos e, consequentemente, na adesão ao plano terapêutico (1,4,10) . Além disso, a baixa escolaridade pode restringir a aquisição de informações, devido ao comprometimento das habilidades de leitura, escrita e fala, bem como a compreensão dos mecanismos da doença, dos cuidados necessários e do tratamento (15) .…”
