Issue Date: | Jan-2001 | Publisher: | ResearchGate | Abstract: | We investigated the prevalence of diabetes and associated factors in a cross-sectional survey of an urban Palestinian population of 492 men and women aged 30-65 years. The oral glucose tolerance test was used to diagnose diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance. World Health Organization-recommended survey protocols were followed. Diabetes was found in 12.0% of the survey population (including 9.4% previously diagnosed), and impaired glucose tolerance in 5.9%. Logistic regression analysis controlling for age and sex revealed body mass index. waist-to-hip ratio and family history of diabetes to be significantly independently associated with diabetes. | Description: | Rita,Giacaman:Community and Public Health Hanan,Abdul-Rahim:Qatar University J,Jervell:University of Oslo | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11889/2093 |
