Abstract

Background. Type 2 diabetes is a worldwide disaster including in Uganda, specifically in Kanungu District which had a rise in diabetic patients in 2018/2019 as compared to the 2017/2018 financial year. This research was determined to access the prevalence and risk factors associated with type 2 diabetes on elderly patients aged 45-80 years attending Kanungu Health Centre IV, Kanungu District. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients aged 45-80 years attending Kanungu Health Centre IV from June to August 2019. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes was determined by the blood sugar of patients. Questionnaires were used to collect data for factors associated with type 2 diabetes. Data were statistically analyzed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 25 (SPSS Inc., USA) at . Results. The overall prevalence of type 2 diabetes was 18.7% among the tested patients. 22.8% of diabetic patients were females as 7.8% were males. The age group most affected by diabetes was 61-65 years. Alcoholism, smoking, body mass index (BMI), and family history were found to be significantly associated with type 2 diabetes at value < 0.05. Conclusion. There was a high prevalence of type 2 diabetes observed in this study compared to studies done in previous years which raise a public health concern. This study also found that females and patients aged 61-65 years were most affected by diabetes. Lastly, the presence of family history for diabetes, overweight, and being obese increases the chances of acquiring type 2 diabetes.
卡农古地区45-80岁老年患者2型糖尿病患病率及相关危险因素
背景。2型糖尿病是一种全球性的灾难,包括在乌干达,特别是在卡农古地区,与2017/2018财政年度相比,2018/2019财政年度糖尿病患者有所增加。本研究旨在了解在卡农古区卡农古第四保健中心就诊的45-80岁老年患者的2型糖尿病患病率和相关风险因素。方法。对2019年6月至8月在卡农古第四卫生中心就诊的45-80岁患者进行了一项横断面研究。2型糖尿病的患病率是由患者的血糖决定的。研究人员使用问卷收集与2型糖尿病相关因素的数据。使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)第25版(SPSS Inc., USA)对数据进行统计分析。结果。在接受测试的患者中,2型糖尿病的总体患病率为18.7%。女性占22.8%,男性占7.8%。受糖尿病影响最大的年龄组是61-65岁。酗酒、吸烟、身体质量指数(BMI)和家族史与2型糖尿病显著相关(值< 0.05)。结论。与前几年引起公众健康关注的研究相比,本研究中观察到的2型糖尿病患病率很高。该研究还发现,女性和61-65岁的患者最容易患糖尿病。最后,有糖尿病家族史、超重和肥胖会增加患2型糖尿病的机会。
