澳大利亚糖尿病、肥胖和生活方式研究（AusDiab）解决了对澳大利亚糖尿病患病率、风险因素和相关疾病数据的迫切需求。在这里，我们描述了所使用的方法和获得的响应率。AusDiab是1999年5月至2000年12月在澳大利亚六个州和北领地进行的一项基于人群的全国糖尿病患病率和相关风险因素的横断面调查。这项研究包括初步的家庭访谈，随后进行生物医学检查，包括口服葡萄糖耐量试验（OGTT），标准人体测量测试，血压测量和问卷调查。在20 347名符合条件的人（年龄大于或等于25岁，在该地址居住大于或等于6个月）完成了家庭访谈，11 247人（55.3%）参加了生物医学检查。在完成生物医学检查的人中，55.1%为女性。与1998年澳大利亚人口估计数的比较表明，在生物医学检查中，较年轻年龄的应答者代表性不足，而中年和老年群体代表性过高。AusDiab数据的年龄和性别权重已纠正了该偏倚。AusDiab是发达国家使用OGTT进行的最大的国家糖尿病患病率研究，为研究糖尿病的患病率和可能原因以及确定可能导致糖尿病的可能风险因素提供了宝贵的国家资源。此外，它还生成了一项前瞻性5年队列研究的基线数据。这些数据将对国家和地区的公共卫生和生活方式教育以及健康促进计划非常重要。(C)2002爱思唯尔科学爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
The Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study (AusDiab) addresses the urgent need for data on diabetes prevalence, risk factors and associated conditions in Australia. Here we describe the methods used and the response rates obtained. AusDiab was a population-based cross-sectional survey of national diabetes mellitus prevalence and associated risk factors in people aged greater than or equal to 25 years, conducted between May 1999 and December 2000 in the six states and the Northern Territory of Australia. The study involved an initial household interview, followed by a biomedical examination that included an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), standard anthropometric tests, blood pressure measurements and the administration of questionnaires. Of the 20 347 eligible people (aged greater than or equal to 25 years and resident at the address for greater than or equal to 6 months) who completed a household interview, 11247 (55.3%) attended for the biomedical examination. Of those who completed the biomedical examination 55.1% were female. Comparisons with the 1998 Australian population estimates showed that younger age responders were under-represented at the biomedical examination, while the middle-aged and older age groups were over-represented. Weighting of the AusDiab data for age and gender have corrected for this bias. AusDiab, which is the largest national diabetes prevalence study undertaken in a developed nation to have used an OGTT, provides a valuable national resource for the study of the prevalence and possible causes of diabetes, as well as identifying possible risk factors that may lead to diabetes. Furthermore, it generates the baseline data for a prospective 5-year cohort study. The data will be important for national and regional public health and lifestyle education and health promotion programs. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
