Abstract

Background and Objectives: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common chronic disease with serious complications. Half of the patients with diabetes are discovered to have DM on routine laboratory examination. The aim of our study was to evaluate certain RISK FACTORS associated with screening of the disease.Materials and Methods: This was a cross - sectional study performed in two areas of the village of Najafabad in Esfahan. The total patients studied were 12,228 with 2,333 persons being above 40 years. These patients were initially evaluated for the presence of 9 RISK FACTORS associated with DM and if any of these were found to have one or more of these RISK FACTORS, their blood sugar was then checked.Results: Among the total patients screened for RISK FACTORS of DM, 48 fresh cases were detected to have diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of DM in the cases above 40 years of age was 8.9%, which correlated well with available statistics. Evaluation of patients above 40 years for RISK FACTORS associated with the development of DM reduces expenses because instead of doing 2,333 blood sugar tests, only 800 actually were requiring the test to be done.Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus, a disease with serious complications can be detected by screening RISK FACTORS associated with it, with minimal expense especially in persons above 40 years age. DM is more prevalent in this age group and thus, it is recommended that this population should be screened by the RISK FACTORS presented here, followed by blood sugar test.
