Prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes and their risk factors among Bangladeshi adults: a nationwide survey.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To estimate the prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes in Bangladesh using national survey data and to identify risk factors. METHODS:Sociodemographic and anthropometric data and data on blood pressure and blood glucose levels were obtained for 7541 adults aged 35 years or more from the biomarker sample of the 2011 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (DHS), which was a nationally representative survey with a stratified, multistage, cluster sampling design. Risk factors for diabetes and prediabetes were identified using multilevel logistic regression models, with adjustment for clustering within households and communities. FINDINGS:The overall age-adjusted prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes was 9.7% and 22.4%, respectively. Among urban residents, the age-adjusted prevalence of diabetes was 15.2% compared with 8.3% among rural residents. In total, 56.0% of diabetics were not aware they had the condition and only 39.5% were receiving treatment regularly. The likelihood of diabetes in individuals aged 55 to 59 years was almost double that in those aged 35 to 39 years. Study participants from the richest households were more likely to have diabetes than those from the poorest. In addition, the likelihood of diabetes was also significantly associated with educational level, body weight and the presence of hypertension. The prevalence of diabetes varied significantly with region of residence. CONCLUSION:Almost one in ten adults in Bangladesh was found to have diabetes, which has recently become a major public health issue. Urgent action is needed to counter the rise in diabetes through better detection, awareness, prevention and treatment. OBJECTIF:Estimer la prévalence du diabète et du prédiabète au Bangladesh en utilisant les données de l'enquête nationale et identifier les facteurs de risque. MÉTHODES:Les données sociodémographiques et anthropométriques, ainsi que les données sur la tension artérielle et la glycémie, ont été obtenues pour 7541 adultes âgés de 35 ans ou plus, à partir de l’échantillon de biomarqueurs de l'Enquête sur la démographie et la santé au Bangladesh en 2011, qui était une enquête représentative au niveau national avec une conception d'échantillonnage par grappe stratifiée et à plusieurs étages. Les facteurs de risque pour le diabète et le prédiabète ont été identifiés en utilisant des modèles de régression logistiques multiniveaux avec ajustement pour le regroupement au sein des ménages et des communautés. RÉSULTATS:La prévalence globale du diabète et du prédiabète, ajustée en fonction de l'âge, était de 9,7% et 22,4%, respectivement. Chez les personnes habitant en zone urbaine, la prévalence du diabète ajustée en fonction de l'âge était de 15,2% contre 8,3% chez les personnes habitant en zone rurale. Au total, 56,0% des diabétiques ne savaient pas qu'ils l'étaient et seulement 39,5% recevaient un traitement régulier. La probabilité de diabète chez les individus âgés de 55 à 59 ans était presque deux fois plus élevée que chez les personnes âgées de 35 à 39 ans. Les participants de l'étude qui faisaient partie des ménages les plus riches, étaient plus susceptibles d'avoir le diabète que ceux faisant partie des ménages les plus pauvres. En outre, la probabilité de diabète était également significativement associée avec le niveau d'étude, le poids corporel et la présence d'hypertension. La prévalence du diabète variait significativement selon la région de résidence. CONCLUSION:Près d'un adulte sur dix au Bangladesh s'avère être diabétique, ce qui est devenu récemment un problème majeur de santé publique. Il est urgent de prendre des mesures pour lutter contre l’augmentation des cas de diabète via une amélioration du dépistage, de la sensibilisation, de la prévention et du traitement. OBJETIVO:Estimar la prevalencia de la diabetes y la prediabetes en Bangladesh a partir de datos de encuestas nacionales e identificar los factores de riesgo. MÉTODOS:Se obtuvieron datos sociodemográficos y antropométricos sobre la presión arterial y los niveles de glucosa en sangre de 7541 adultos de 35 años o mayores de la muestra de biomarcadores de la Encuesta demográfica y de salud de Bangladesh 2011(DHS), esta fue una encuesta representativa a nivel nacional con un diseño de muestreo por conglomerados estratificado y multietápico. Se identificaron los factores de riesgo de la diabetes y la prediabetes mediante modelos de regresión logística multinivel, con ajustes para el agrupamiento en los hogares y las comunidades. RESULTADOS:La prevalencia general ajustada por edad de la diabetes y la prediabetes fue de 9,7 % y 22,4 %, respectivamente. Entre los residentes urbanos, la prevalencia ajustada por edad de la diabetes fue de 15,2 %, en comparación con el 8,3 % entre los residentes rurales. En total, el 56,0 % de los diabéticos no sabían que padecían la condición y solo el 39,5 % recibían tratamiento con frecuencia. La probabilidad de padecer diabetes en individuos de 55 a 59 años era casi el doble que en las mujeres de 35 a 39 años. Los participantes del estudio de los hogares más ricos tenían más posibilidades de padecer diabetes que aquellos de los más pobres. Además, la probabilidad de padecer diabetes también estuvo asociada de forma significativa con el nivel educativo, el peso corporal y la presencia de hipertensión. La prevalencia de diabetes varió según la región de residencia. CONCLUSIÓN:Se halló que casi uno de cada diez adultos en Bangladesh padece diabetes, la cual se ha convertido recientemente en un problema de salud pública importante. Se necesitan medidas urgentes para contrarrestar el aumento de la diabetes, mediante la mejora de la detección, la conciencia, la prevención y el tratamiento. الغرض:تقدير انتشار داء السكري ومقدماته في بنغلاديش باستخدام بيانات المسح الوطني وتحديد عوامل الخطر الخاصة به. الطريقة:تم الحصول على البيانات الديموغرافية الاجتماعية والقياسات البشرية وبيانات تتعلق بضغط الدم ومستويات غلوكوز الدم من 7541 شخصاً بالغاً فوق سن 35 عاماً أو أكثر من عينة الواصمة البيولوجية للمسح الديموغرافي والصحي لبنغلاديش (DHS) لعام 2011، وكان عبارة عن مسح تمثيلي على الصعيد الوطني مع تصميم أخذ العينات الجماعية متعدد المراحل والمقسم إلى طبقات. وتم تحديد عوامل الخطر الخاصة بداء السكري ومقدماته باستخدام نماذج ارتداد لوجستي متعددة المستويات مع تعديل التجميع داخل الأسر والمجتمعات. النتائج:كانت نسبة الانتشار الإجمالي المعدل باحتساب العمر لداء السكري ومقدماته 9.7 % و22.4 % على التوالي. وبين سكان الحضر، كانت نسبة الانتشار باحتساب العمر لداء السكري 15.2 % مقارنة بنسبة 8.3 % بين سكان الريف. وإجمالاً، لم تكن نسبة 56.0% من المصابين بداء السكري مدركة لإصابتها، بينما كانت نسبة 39.5 % فقط تتلقى العلاج بانتظام. وتضاعفت تقريباً احتمالية الإصابة بداء السكري لدى الأفراد الذين تتراوح أعمارهم بين 55 و59 عاماً عن الأشخاص الذين تتراوح أعمارهم بين 35 و39 عاماً. وكانت احتمالية إصابة المشاركين في الدراسة من الأسر الأكثر ثراءً بداء السكري أعلى عن الأسر الفقيرة. علاوة على ذلك، كانت احتمالية داء السكري أيضاً مرتبطة بشكل كبير بالمستوى التعليمي ووزن الجسم ووجود ارتفاع ضغط الدم. وتنوع انتشار داء السكري بشكل كبير حسب منطقة الإقامة. الاستنتاج:واحد من بين كل عشرة بالغين تقريباً في بنغلاديش مصاب بداء السكري، وهو ما أصبح مؤخراً مسألة صحية عامة رئيسية. ويتعين اتخاذ إجراء عاجل للتصدي للارتفاع في الإصابة بداء السكري من خلال الاكتشاف والوعي والوقاية والعلاج الأفضل. 目的:使用全国性调查数据估计孟加拉国糖尿病和前驱糖尿病的患病率并确定风险因素。 方法:从2011年孟加拉人口和健康调查(DHS)的生物标志物样本中获取7541名年满35岁的成年人的社会人口、人体测量数据和有关血压及血糖水平的数据,该调查是采用分层、多级、群集采样设计的全国性典型调查。使用多级逻辑回归模型确定糖尿病和前驱糖尿病的风险因素,在家庭和社区范围内进行群集调整。 结果:糖尿病和前驱糖尿病的整体年龄调整患病率分别为9.7%和22.4%。在城市居民中,糖尿病的年龄调整患病率是15.2%,而农村居民中则为8.3%。总体而言,56.0% 的糖尿病患者不知道自己患有糖尿病,仅39.5%的患者接受定期的治疗。在55至59岁的个人中,患糖尿病的可能性几乎是35至39岁人群的两倍。最富有家庭的研究参与者比最贫穷家庭的参与者更有可能患有糖尿病。此外,患糖尿病的可能性和教育水平、体重以及高血压也有很大关系。糖尿病的患病率在不同的居住区域中有很大差异。 结论:卡拉奇几乎十分之一的成年人患有糖尿病,成为当前主要的公共卫生问题。亟需通过更好的检测、认知、预防和治疗等措施来应对糖尿病蔓延趋势。 Цель:Определить распространенность диабета и преддиабетного состояния в Бангладеш на основе данных национального исследования и идентифицировать факторы риска. Методы:Получены социально-демографические и антропометрические данные и данные об артериальном давлении и уровне глюкозы в крови у 7541 человека в возрасте 35 лет и старше из выборки биомаркеров, полученных в рамках Исследования в области демографии и здравоохранения Бангладеш (2011 г.), представлявшего собой национальное репрезентативное исследование со стратифицированной многоступенчатой кластерной выборкой. Факторы риска диабета и преддиабетного состояния определялись с помощью многоуровневых логистических регрессионных моделей с поправкой на кластеризацию в пределах домохозяйств и общин. Результаты:Стандартизованная по возрасту общая распространенность диабета и преддиабетного состояния составляла 9,7% и 22,4% соответственно. Среди городских жителей стандартизованная по возрасту распространенность диабета составляла 15,2% по сравнению с 8,3% среди сельских жителей. В итоге, 56,0% больных диабетом не подозревали о наличии у них подобного состояния и только 39,5% регулярно проходили лечение. Вероятность заболевания диабетом у лиц в возрасте 55-59 лет была почти вдвое выше, чем у лиц в возрасте 35-39 лет. Вероятность заболевания диабетом была выше у участников исследования из богатейших домохозяйств, чем из беднейших. К тому же, вероятность заболевания диабетом также в значительной степени была связана с уровнем образования, массой тела и наличием гипертензии. Распространенность диабета значительно варьировалась по регионам проживания. Вывод:Почти у одной десятой взрослого населения Бангладеш обнаруживается диабет, который недавно стал одной из основных проблем здравоохранения. Необходимо принятие срочных мер по противодействию повышению заболеваемости диабетом посредством улучшения диагностики, информированности, профилактики и лечения.
