Sociodemographic and Clinical Status and Its Associations with Disability in Patients With Prediabetes
Abstract
Objective: We aimed in this study that
to describe the sociodemographic and clinical status of the patients with
prediabetes in a tertiarry internal medicine outpatient clinic.
Method: Participants in this study are from Kayseri City Hospital in 2018 between June and December. This study was restricted to participants who were aged 18-65, had blood glucose levels in prediabetic range (n=96). Participants' age, gender, marital status, wage, education, profession, employment, smoking status, alcohol use, height, weight, body mass index, insulin resistance were based on self-report and our measurements.
Results: The half of the patients with prediabetes was IFG (n=50) and the least subgroup was IGT (n=14) in our study also. Combined group was higher (n=32). 71 of them were female (74%). 23 patients smoked at any time and mean packet-year was 27.78 (min:1, max: 95, sd: 23.55), 93 patients (96.7%) never used alcohol. 15 patients were retired and only one of them was caused by disablement. The rate of insulin resistant patients was 50%. Marital status were single (n=1), married (n=89), widow/widower (n=5), divorced (n=1). There is a higher rate of obesity in prediabetic patients in our study. BMI are respectively 1% (≤ 18.5 kg/m2); 9% (18.6-24.9 kg/m2); 18% (25.0-29.9 kg/m2); 68.76% (≥30 kg/m2).
Conclusion: Prediabetes is an increasingly common disease, leading
to serious morbidities. Most patients are obese and female. Most female
patients of prediabetic patients are housewives. Early diagnosis and
appropriate treatment of people with these characteristics, especially those
with high risk of prediabetes, can prevent the development of diabetes.
