本研究的目的是描述社区居住的老年人群中糖尿病的患病率，并评估其他心血管疾病的危险因素是否在老年糖尿病患者中比非糖尿病患者更常见。结果表明，除高血压外，其他心血管疾病的危险因素在老年糖尿病患者中并不普遍，也不会在老年糖尿病患者中聚集。然而，老年糖尿病患者中高血压的患病率非常高。特别令人关注的是，观察到40%的糖尿病患者在接受高血压治疗时仍然有不可接受的高血压水平。这些结果表明需要对老年糖尿病患者的高血压治疗进行随访。
The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence of diabetes in a community-dwelling elderly population, and to assess whether other cardiovascular disease risk factors were more frequent in older diabetics than in non-diabetics. Results suggest that, with the exception of hypertension, other cardiovascular disease risk factors are not more prevalent in older diabetics and do not aggregate in older diabetics. However, there was a very high prevalence of hypertension among older diabetics. Of particular concern is the observation that 40% of diabetic individuals under treatment for hypertension still have unacceptably high blood-pressure levels. These results indicate a need for follow-up of high-blood-pressure treatment in older diabetic people.
