目的：利用SABE数据，探讨我国七城市老年人糖尿病（DM）与文化程度、体重指数（BMI）的关系。方法：SABE调查基于老年人口的概率样本。将各种逻辑回归模型的结果应用于患病率，以通过协变量方法调整年龄、性别和BMI，以确定这些参数的变异性。结果如下：老年人中确诊糖尿病的患病率为15.7%（95%CI 14.7-16.8），布里奇敦报告的患病率最高，布宜诺斯艾利斯最低。讨论：有一个高患病率的诊断糖尿病的老年人的七个城市。糖尿病的患病率与BMI和低教育程度密切相关。建议将这些因素纳入旨在降低老年人糖尿病患病率的政策和计划中。
Objective: To examine the relation of diagnosed diabetes mellitus (DM) to the level of education and body mass index (BMI) among the elderly of seven cities using data from SABE. Methods: The SABE survey was based on a probabilistic sample of the elderly population. Results of various logistic regression models were applied to prevalence rates to adjust for age, gender, and BMI by the covariate method given the variability of these parameters. Results: The prevalence of diagnosed diabetes among the elderly was 15.7% (95% CI 14.7-16.8), with the highest prevalence reported in Bridgetown and the lowest in Buenos Aires. Discussion: There was a high prevalence of diagnosed DM among the elderly of the seven cities. The prevalence of diagnosed DM was strongly associated with BMI and low education. The inclusion of these factors in policies and programs aiming to reduce the prevalence of diabetes among the elderly is recommended.
