“…However, a major increase in prevalence is apparent (3.4 vs. 7.2%), and this approximate doubling of the prevalence since 1981 was the same whether Busselton was compared with the whole AusDiab sample, with other rural towns, or with the state of Western Australia. Marked increases in diabetes prevalence over the last three decades have also been reported in a variety of developed and developing populations (6,7,20,21). Despite the relatively modest response rate achieved, the current AusDiab results are in keeping with a recent (1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996) large population-based study from the Australian state of Victoria (22).…”

“…Duration of obesity is known to be important in the risk of diabetes (29). Although obesity is recognized as an obvious factor associated with the increasing rates of diabetes (20,21,30), the role of physical inactivity is likely to be important and closely inter-related (31). Although there are no long-term trend data for physical activity patterns in Australia, there is evidence elsewhere that the frequency of physical inactivity has steadily increased in recent decades and shows very close parallels with the rising prevalence of obesity (31).…”

The Rising Prevalence of Diabetes and Impaired Glucose Tolerance

OBJECTIVE -To determine the population-based prevalence of diabetes and other categories of glucose intolerance (impaired glucose tolerance [IGT] and impaired fasting glucose [IFG]) in Australia and to compare the prevalence with previous Australian data. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-A national sample involving 11,247 participants aged Ն25 years living in 42 randomly selected areas from the six states and the Northern Territory were examined in a cross-sectional survey using the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test to assess fasting and 2-h plasma glucose concentrations. The World Health Organization diagnostic criteria were used to determine the prevalence of abnormal glucose tolerance.RESULTS -The prevalence of diabetes in Australia was 8.0% in men and 6.8% in women, and an additional 17.4% of men and 15.4% of women had IGT or IFG. Even in the youngest age group (25-34 years), 5.7% of subjects had abnormal glucose tolerance. The overall diabetes prevalence in Australia was 7.4%, and an additional 16.4% had IGT or IFG. Diabetes prevalence has more than doubled since 1981, and this is only partially explained by changes in age profile and obesity.CONCLUSIONS -Australia has a rapidly rising prevalence of diabetes and other categories of abnormal glucose tolerance. The prevalence of abnormal glucose tolerance in Australia is one of the highest yet reported from a developed nation with a predominantly Europid background. Diabetes Care 25:829 -834, 2002

“…A marked increase in prevalence of NIDDM was found in rural areas also, especially in men. The increase in BMI seen in men and women in the second survey was a strong contributory factor for the increased prevalence of diabetes, although differences in BMI, WHR, physical activity, family history of diabetes or sex did not fully explain the increase in prevalence of diabetes in the Western Samoan population [24].…”

“…A follow-up survey of NIDDM in the modernising Pacific Island population of Western Samoa by Collins et al [24] conducted 13 years after a first survey in 1978, showed that the prevalence of NIDDM in urban Apia increased from 8.1 to 9.5 % in men and 8.2 to 13.4 % in women. A marked increase in prevalence of NIDDM was found in rural areas also, especially in men.…”

Chemometrics as an option to assess clinical data from diabetes mellitus type 2 patients

AbstractThe present study deals with the application of two major multivariate statistical approaches - Cluster Analysis (CA) and Principal Components Analysis (PCA) as an option for assessment of clinical data from diabetes mellitus type 2 patients. One hundred clinical cases of patients are considered as object of the statistical classification and modeling, each one of them characterized by 34 various clinical parameters. The goal of the study was to find patterns of similarity, both between the patients and the clinical tests. Each group of similarity is interpreted revealing at least five clusters of correlated parameters or five latent factors, which determine the data structure. Relevant explanation of the clustering is found based on the pattern of similarity like glucose level, anthropometric data, enzyme level, liver function, kidney function etc. It is assumed that this classification could be of help in optimizing the performance of clinical test for this type of patients and for designing a pattern for the role of the different groups of test in determining the metabolic syndrome of the patients.
