An epidemiological study on diabetes mellitus was conducted against 20% of the total inhabitants, 10 years of age and above only, of Okku-gun, Chollapuk-do, plain farming area, applying two stage stratified random sampling method.
Selected examinee totalled to 15, 853 of which 7, 656 were male and 8, 197 were female.
The first w!p of testing was to test each .examinee´s urine-sugar with Tes-tape and the second was applying glucose tolerance test (GTT) against those who were found with positive glycosuria. Of the total examinees, only 250 were found with positive glycosuria.
The following shows the results of the survey:
1. The glycosuria positive rate found through Tes-tape method revealed 3.29% for male 1.29% for female. It averages 2.26%. It also revealed that the older had higher positive rate as it can be evidenced from the following:
1019 years old 0.90%
2029 years old 1.46%
3039 years old 2.61%
40^49 years old 2.97%
50^59 years old 3.81%
6069 years old 4.51%
70 years old and above 3.02%
2. Of the examinees with positive glycosuria, 54.8% of them have shown an abnormal GTT and of those who have shown abnormal GTT, 42.7% of male and 32.8% of female were diagnosed as diabetes. It averages 40.4% and 14.4% were possible diabetes. Older group had a higher number of abnormal
GTT. 3. Prevalence rate of diabetes was 0.91%.
4. Prevalence rate of male was 1.41% while the same for female was 0.42%. Consequently, the sex ratio (male to female) revealed as 3.4 : 1 showing a significant difference between the sexes (p<0.01).
5. The study also revealed that the pervalence rate was higher in older age group as follows. There also had been a significant difference between age groups (p<0. 01), and in the case of male the difference between age groups was more higher.

10^-´19 years old 0.14%
20^29 years old 0.18%
30^39 years old 0.50%
40^49 years old 1.22%
50^59 years old 1.94%
60^69 years old 2.97%
70 years old and above 2.01%
6. Ninety-fine per cent of the total personnel who were in diabetic state did not recognize of their disease bythe mselves.
7. Those who were in diabetic state had a higher rate of complication as shown below:
Hypertension 30.7%
Pulmonary TB 12.9%
Nephropathy 18.8 %
Retinopathy 22.8%
Cataract 4.0%
