Abstract
|
|
|
Background: Diabetes is a dramatically increasing clinical and public health problem. The prevalence of diabetes coincides with trends in certain risk factors for diabetes, such as aging, decreasing physical activity levels, and increasing obesity or central obesity in the Korean population.
Methods: In total, 46,846 subjects aged 19 years or older from the first to the fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (KNHANES) were examined in a cross-sectional study. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to calculate the prevalence of diabetes with adjustments for age, physical activity, central obesity, and body mass index (BMI).
Results: Between 1998 and 2010 to 2012, the prevalence of diabetes increased from 3.55% to 10.00% in men and from 3.51% to 5.62% in women (P for trend for both groups <0.001). After adjustment for age, physical activity, central obesity, and BMI, the prevalence of diabetes increased in men and women (P for trend <0.001). Age was the greatest contributor among the four variables to the change in prevalence estimates after adjustment.
Conclusion: As the trend of aging is the most powerful contributor to predict the prevalence of diabetes, it is necessary to prepare clinical and public strategies for Korea’s aging society to prevent and manage diabetes.
