Association of Tobacco Products Use and Diabetes Mellitus-Results of a National Survey Among Adults in Saudi Arabia

Abstract

Objective: To compare the tobacco products use patterns of known diabetics and non diabetics. Material and Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study using STEPwise approach among adults using a multistage, stratified, cluster random sample. Data was collected using a questionnaire which included sociodemographics; tobacco products use habits, history of diabetes, biochemical and anthropometric measurements. Results: Of the total of 4654 subjects who participated in the study, 1016 (21.8%) were ever smoked tobacco products users and 65 (1.4%) were ever smokeless tobacco products users. Known Diabetes prevalence was 15.3% (712 known diabetics). There were no significant differences in diabetic status and smokeless tobacco products use for both ever and current use. For smoked products diabetics are fewer in current smokers and more in ex smokers. Diabetics started smoking significantly older, smoked for longer duration and higher intensity than non diabetics. Conclusion: Diabetes appears to be associated with smoked but not smokeless tobacco products use. Turkish Başlık: Tütün Ürünleri Kullanımının Diabetes Mellitus ile İlişkisi – Suudi Arabistan'da Yetişkinler Arasında Yapılan Ulusal Tarama Sonuçları Anahtar Kelimeler: Tütün kullanımı, diabetes, yetişkinler, Suudi Arabistan Amaç: Bilinen diyabetik ve diyabetik olmayanların tütün ürünleri kullanım paternlerini karşılaştırmak. Materyal ve Metotlar: Yetişkinler arasında çok-aşamalı, katmanlı, rastgele küme örneklemi ile AŞAMAlı yaklaşımı kullanarak toplum tabanlı kesitsel çalışma. Veriler sosyodemografik özellikleri; tütün ürünleri kullanma alışkanlıklarını, diyabet öyküsünü, biyokimyasal ve antropometrik ölçümleri içeren bir anket kullanılarak toplandı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan toplam 4654 kişiden 1016'sı (%21.8) herhangi bir zamanda dumanlı tütün ürünleri kullanıcısı ve 65'i (1.4%) herhangi bir zamanda dumansız tütün ürünleri kullanıcısıydı. Bilinen Diyabet prevalansı %15.3 idi (712 bilinen diyabetik). Hem herhangi bir zamanda hem de halihazırda kullanım için diyabetik durum ve dumansız tütün ürünleri kullanımı açısından anlamlı farklılık yoktu. Dumanlı ürünler açısından diyabetikler halihazırda içiciler arasında daha az olup eski içiciler arasında daha fazladır. Diyabetikler diyabetik olmayanlara kıyasla sigara içmeye anlamlı şekilde daha ileri yaşta başladı, daha uzun süre boyunca ve daha yoğun şekilde içti. Sonuç: Diyabet dumansız tütün ürünleri ile değil ama dumanlı ürünler ile ilişkili görünmektedir.
