A comprehensive assessment of diabetes in the urban community of Fremantle

在弗里曼特尔糖尿病研究I期中，从1993年至2001年期间以社区为基础的患者队列中获得了详细数据。有证据表明，澳大利亚的糖尿病正在迅速改变。为了向卫生保健提供者和政府提供最新数据，确认第一阶段的观察结果，并探索新的领域，第二阶段于2008年开始。我们计划将II期再延长5年，对所有1,732例患者进行随访，以实现至少6年的综合评估。

In the Fremantle Diabetes Study Phase I, detailed data were obtained from a community-based patient cohort between 1993 and 2001. There is strong evidence that diabetes in Australia is changing rapidly. To provide up to date data to health care providers and government, to confirm observations made in Phase I and to venture into new areas, Phase II began in 2008. We plan to extend Phase II for a further 5 years by following all 1,732 patients to achieve at least 6 years of comprehensive assessment.
