Prevalence of type 2 diabetes and other cardiovascular risk factors in a semirural area in Yemen

View/ Open
Abstract
The study determined the prevalence of type 2 diabetes, abnormal glucose tolerance and other cardiovascular risk factors in a sample of 250 adults aged >/= 35 years in a semirural area near Sana'a, the capital of Yemen. The overall crude prevalence of diabetes was 10.4% [95% CI: 6.6%-14.2%] and the age-standardized rate was 6.3% [95% CI: 5.4%-7.2%]. The age-standardized rate of having either impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance was 9.0% [95% CI: 6.0%-12.0%] and the age-standardized prevalence of hypertension was 14.2% [95% CI: 13.0%-16.0%]. Age and waist circumference were independently related to total glucose intolerance. The observed high frequency of central obesity suggests a dietary origin for these adverse health conditionsCitation

Mendoza Romo, Miguel Ángel; Padrón Salas, Aldanely; Cossío Torres, Patricia Elizabeth; Soria Orozco, Manuel (2017-11)Objetivo. Evaluar la relación entre la prevalencia de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) y el índice de desarrollo humano (IDH) por región del mundo en el período 2010–2015. Método. Se utilizaron los datos de la Federación Internacional de Diabetes para la prevalencia de DM2 (2010–2015) y el IDH del Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo. Se analizaron correlaciones lineales de Spearman entre el IDH y la prevalencia de DM2 y se hicieron regresiones lineales para estimar la relación entre ambos. Resultados. Se observó que a menor IDH ...
