Abstract

This study aims to estimate the prevalence of cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and other selected diseases including hypertension, atrial fibrillation, asthma, chronic obstructive lung disease, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, psoriasis and depression among Greenlanders living in Nuuk with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D). The study was designed as a cross-sectional case-control study based on data from the electronic medical record (EMR) in Greenland. Persons with a registered T2D diagnosis in EMR and residence in Nuuk (N = 435) were included. The prevalence of cardiovascular disease was 17.9% among persons with T2D and significantly higher compared to the control group (10.1%). In addition, our results showed a significantly higher prevalence of ischaemic heart disease, hypertension, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, osteoarthritis and psoriasis among persons with T2D compared to the control group.Our study found a higher prevalence in five out of 10 selected diseases in regularly followed persons with T2D in Nuuk compared to unselected controls. This enlightens the importance of a broad multifaceted approach in combination of changing primary health care to focus on early detection of controllable risk factors and chronic conditions care in Artic Greenland.

患有和未患有 2 型糖尿病的格陵兰人心血管疾病和其他特定疾病的患病率。

这项研究旨在估算居住在努克的格陵兰人中患有和未患有 2 型糖尿病 (T2D) 的心血管疾病、肾脏疾病和其他特定疾病（包括高血压、心房颤动、哮喘、慢性阻塞性肺病、骨关节炎、骨质疏松症、银屑病和抑郁症）的患病率。这项研究是一项横断面病例对照研究，以格陵兰电子病历（EMR）中的数据为基础。EMR中登记有T2D诊断且居住在努克的人（N = 435）被纳入研究范围。在患有 T2D 的人群中，心血管疾病的发病率为 17.9%，明显高于对照组（10.1%）。此外，我们的研究结果表明，与对照组相比，患有终末期糖尿病的人群中缺血性心脏病、高血压、心力衰竭、心房颤动、骨关节炎和银屑病的患病率明显更高。这表明，在格陵兰岛的北极地区，必须采取广泛的多方面方法，结合改变初级卫生保健，重点关注可控风险因素的早期检测和慢性病护理。
