Abstract

(1) Background: To analyze the prevalence and factors associated with diabetes mellitus in adults and the elderly in Rio Branco, Acre, Western Brazilian Amazon. (2) Methods: The R software version 4.0.5 was used for estimating the prevalence of diabetes mellitus, odds ratios, and 95% confidence intervals. Multiple analysis was conducted through hierarchical variable selection. (3) Results: 1.095 individuals aged 18 years and older participated in this study, with 6.4% of the respondents showing prevalence of diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus was positively associated with a prior medical diagnosis of obesity (OR: 3.2; 95% CI: 1.67–6.12), dyslipidemia (OR: 4.17; 95% CI: 2.08–8.36), and increasing age (OR: 1.07; 95% CI: 1.05–1.09). Conversely, an inverse association was observed with higher education (12 or more years of study; OR: 0.20; 95% CI: 0.07–0.61). (4) Conclusions: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in the municipality of Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil, has significantly increased with advancing age. Education, obesity, and dyslipidemia were also identified as factors associated with diabetes mellitus in this population. Awareness campaigns regarding dietary patterns and lifestyle choices may serve as preventive and control measures.

巴西亚马逊河西部阿克里省里约布兰科成人和老年人糖尿病流行病学研究

(1) 背景：分析巴西亚马孙河流域西部阿克里省里约布兰科市成年人和老年人糖尿病的患病率及相关因素。(2）方法：使用 4.0.5 版 R 软件估算糖尿病患病率、几率比例和 95% 置信区间。通过分层变量选择进行多重分析。(3) 结果有 1 095 名 18 岁及以上的人参与了这项研究，其中 6.4% 的受访者显示患有糖尿病。糖尿病患病率与肥胖（OR：3.2；95% CI：1.67-6.12）、血脂异常（OR：4.17；95% CI：2.08-8.36）和年龄增长（OR：1.07；95% CI：1.05-1.09）呈正相关。相反，受教育程度较高（12 年或以上的学习年限；OR：0.20；95% CI：0.07-0.61）则与此呈反向关系。(4）结论：巴西阿克里省里奥布朗库市的糖尿病患病率随着年龄的增长而显著增加。教育程度、肥胖和血脂异常也被认为是该人群中与糖尿病相关的因素。有关饮食模式和生活方式选择的宣传活动可作为预防和控制措施。

期刊介绍： ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
