Abstract:

Background: Type ۲ diabetes mellitus is one of the most important cardiovascular risk factors. Objectives: This study was performed to assess the relationship of diabetes with gender, education, and marital status in an Iranian urban population. Methods: A total of ۸۹۲ men and women aged ۳۰-۸۵ were recruited using a cluster-stratified sampling method from an urban population. Using a questionnaire, demographical data including gender, education, and marital status were collected. A blood sample after fasting for at least eight hours was collected from each subject. Associations of type ۲ diabetes mellitus and studied variables were tested for significance. Results: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus was ۱۱.۶%; ۱۱.۱% in men and ۱۲.۱% in women with no significant difference between them. Diabetes mellitus was most prevalent in the oldest age (age more than ۶۰ years, ۲۲.۹%) and low education groups (۱۷.۹%, P < ۰.۰۰۱). Marital status was not significantly related to diabetes mellitus (P= ۰.۳۷). Conclusion: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is related to education within the Iranian population. Thus preventive strategies should be based on the affective factors.
