Abstract

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in the Haitian American population remains an important question. A recent study revealed an alarming prevalence of 39.9%. To corroborate these data, between November 2021 and September 2023 a representative sample was collected among 401 Haitian Americans in Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York. Results revealed a crude prevalence rate of 36.6% (95% CI 31.85, 41.55%). The age-adjusted prevalence was 29.7% (CI 19.71%, 39.63%). This study's prevalence is nearly double the 16.8% (Z=10.48, p<.0001) rate in non-Hispanic African Americans and nearly two and a half times the 12.0% (Z=14.99, p<.0001) rate in all Americans. The crude prevalence for undiagnosed diabetes mellitus was 13.38% (CI 10.19%, 17.14%), with 17.11% age-adjusted prevalence (CI 7.53%, 26.70%). The scope of the diabetes burden, especially the high rate of undiagnosed cases, indicates a need for better strategies for the prevention, screening, treatment, and management of diabetes among Haitian Americans.

美国海地人的糖尿病患病率：隐藏的流行病。

美国海地人的糖尿病患病率仍然是一个重要问题。最近的一项研究显示，患病率高达 39.9%，令人震惊。为了证实这些数据，2021 年 11 月至 2023 年 9 月期间，我们在佛罗里达州、马里兰州、新泽西州和纽约州对 401 名美国海地人进行了代表性抽样调查。结果显示，粗流行率为 36.6%（95% CI 31.85，41.55%）。年龄调整后的患病率为 29.7%（CI 19.71%，39.63%）。这项研究得出的患病率是非西班牙裔非洲裔美国人患病率 16.8% (Z=10.48, p<.0001) 的近两倍，是所有美国人患病率 12.0% (Z=14.99, p<.0001) 的近两倍半。未确诊糖尿病的粗略患病率为 13.38%（CI 10.19%，17.14%），年龄调整患病率为 17.11%（CI 7.53%，26.70%）。糖尿病负担的范围，尤其是未确诊病例的高发率，表明美国海地人需要更好的糖尿病预防、筛查、治疗和管理策略。
