(1)背景：糖尿病是沙特阿拉伯常见的健康问题，给个人、家庭和社区造成了巨大的负担。本研究的目的是确定沙特阿拉伯半城市人口中2型糖尿病的患病率和危险因素。(2)研究方法：采用横断面设计，在沙特阿拉伯Majmaah的5个初级卫生保健中心（PHCC）进行研究。样本量计算为353。在获得伦理批准后，使用预测问卷收集数据。采集血液样本以评估血糖水平和其他变量。采用SPSS version 21进行数据分析。(3)结果：2型糖尿病患病率为34.6%。该疾病在老年应答者中比在年轻年龄组中更为普遍（44.6%对15.6%）。我们发现女性患此病的比例略高于男性（34.9%对34.2%），但差异无统计学意义。社会人口学危险因素为：高龄（44%）、商业和私人职业（38.5%）、离婚或丧偶（56.3%）、低收入（42.4%）。健康行为因素为：超重或肥胖（42.3%）、高甘油三酯（TG）（43.4%）、低高密度脂蛋白（HDL）（37.3%）和高总胆固醇（23.7%）。这些危险因素在糖尿病患者和非糖尿病患者之间有统计学上的显著差异。(4)结论：沙特阿拉伯半城市人群2型糖尿病患病率较高。该疾病在老年受访者中更为普遍，与肥胖、高TG、低HDL和高总胆固醇有关。
(1) Background: Diabetes mellitus is a common health problem in Saudi Arabia, causing a huge burden for individuals, families, and communities. The objectives of the current study were to determine the prevalence and risk factors of type 2 diabetes mellitus among a semi-urban population of Saudi Arabia. (2) Research methods: The research design was cross-sectional, and the research was conducted in five primary health care centers (PHCC) in Majmaah, Saudi Arabia. The sample size was calculated as 353. A pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect data after obtaining ethical approval. Blood samples were taken to assess glucose levels and other variables. SPSS version 21 was used to analyze data. (3) Results: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus was 34.6%. The disease was more prevalent among the older respondents compared with the younger age groups (44.6% versus 15.6%). We found that females acquire the disease at a slightly higher rate than males (34.9% versus 34.2%), but this difference is not statistically significant. The sociodemographic risk factors of the disease were as follows: old age (44%), business and private occupation (38.5%), divorced or widowed (56.3%), and low income (42.4%). The health behaviors factors were as follows: overweight or obese status (42.3%), high triglycerides (TG) (43.4%), low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (37.3%), and high total cholesterol (23.7%). There was a statistically significant difference in these risk factors between patients with and without diabetes. (4) Conclusion: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus among the semi-urban population of Saudi Arabia is high. The disease is more prevalent among elderly respondents and is associated with obesity, high TG, low HDL, and high total cholesterol.
