“…The reasons for exclusion included death (n 18), hospitalization or imprisonment (n 14), living abroad (n 39), moving out (n 411), living in their child's house (n 7), error in the sampling frame (n 59), and not being at home during 3 visits made by interviewers (n 202). Among 3,530 individuals selected, 2,359 agreed to participate; thus, the overall response rate was 66.8% 13,14) . Among them, 1,305 individuals who had their serum insulin level checked were selected.…”
