Abstract

In the past decade, diabetes prevalence and it"s associated factors have been studied in Islamshahr, Tehran, Isfahan and a few other urban areas of the country, but information on rural areas is little. In order to study the prevalence of diabetes and its associated factors in rural areas, 2705 subjects over 30 years of age were selected from 100 villages in Tehran province by stepwise random sampling. Fasting blood samples were obtained from each subject followed by feeding 75g glucose in the form of water solution. Second blood sample was collected after two hours for blood sugar measurement. Classification of diabetic, IGT and healthy people was based on WHO recommendations. The subjects comprised 1296 men (48%) and 1409 women (52%). The results showed that 7.6% of subjects (5.5% male and 9.5%female) were diabetic. Out of them 4.1% were known diabetics and in the remaining 3.5%, diabetes was newly diagnosed in this survey, while 7.5% (4.6% male and 10.1% female) had IGT. Sixty-five percent of the diabetics and 70% of the IGT subjects were females. Diabetes and IGT prevalence increased with age, rising from 2.8% and 4.8% in 30-39 years old to 8.5% and 13.5% in the over 70 years old subjects, respectively. Sixty-four precent of the diabetics, and 51 % of the IGT subjects were over 50 years old age. Two-thirds of the diabetics were illiterate. Percentage of illiterate subjects was higher in the diabetic and IGT group compared with the normal group (P<0.001). Forty percent of the diabetic, 32.5% of the IGT and 20% of the normal subjects had positive familial history of diabetes. Prevalence of diabetes and IGT was 13.6% and 10.9% in those with positive familial history ,of diabetes 5.9% and 6.5% in the negative familial history group, respectively. This survey showed high prevalence of diabetes and IGT in rural areas of Tehran province. Increased diabetes prevalence with age especially in women and in subjects with positive FAMILY HISTORY OF DIABETES is worthy of notice. Controlling the disease by correcting food habits, physical exercise and education of the individvals are recommended.
