“…Namely, the prevalence rate of diabetes in Slovakia was 7.0% and the prevalence rate of type 2 diabetes in Croatia was 6.1% (20,21). Similar results have been found recently in southern Poland (22).…”

Prevalence Rate of Diabetes Mellitus and Impaired Fasting Glycemia in Hungary: Cross-Sectional Study on Nationally Representative Sample of People Aged 20-69 Years

et al. 2010

Aim To obtain correct evaluation of the prevalence rate of diabetes mellitus and impaired fasting glycemia (IFG) in Hungary. MethodThe study was performed on a nationally representative sample covered by the Hungarian General Practitioners' Morbidity Sentinel Stations Program. The source population consisted of all persons aged 20-69 years who were registered with the participating centers. The prevalence rates were adjusted to age and sex distribution of the total Hungarian population. Fasting blood samples of 1803 participants were evaluated. Response rate was 90.7%. ResultsIn addition to 130 (7.21%) patients with established diabetes, 26 participants with newly diagnosed diabetes were found, resulting in a total crude diabetes prevalence of 8.65% (men: 11.16%; women: 6.41%; P < 0.001). After weighting for age and sex, the prevalence rate of diabetes in participants aged 20-69 years should be set at 7.47% (95% confidence interval [CI], 6.26-8.69) (men: 9.49%; 95% CI, 7.52-11.46; women: 5.58%; 95% CI, 4.12-7.04). In addition to 41 (2.27%) patients with established IFG (fasting blood glucose: 6.1-6.9 mmol/L), 47 participants with newly diagnosed IFG were found, resulting in a total crude IFG prevalence of 4.88% (men: 6.11%; women: 3.78%; P = 0.022). After making corrections for weighting age and sex, the total IFG prevalence rate in participants aged 20-69 years should be set at 4.39% (95% CI, 3.44-5.34) (men: 5.52%; 95% CI, 3.99-7.06; women: 3.33%; 95% CI, 2.19-4.47). ConclusionThe prevalence rate of diabetes and IFG in Hungary is higher than previously estimated by experts and authorities. The present data may serve as a base for comparative investigations in the future.

“…The proportion of undiagnosed persons with diabetes proved to be 0.3 or 0.7 in surveys, depending on the method used (20,21). The low proportion (0.2) of undiagnosed persons with diabetes in our study can partly be explained by the fact that no oral glucose tolerance test was performed.…”

“…Yet in most Western countries, the prevalence of MetS has either not been shown to differ substantially by gender, or the prevalence has been found to be slightly higher in men than in women (Isomaa et al, 2001; Balkau et al, 2002; Ford et al, 2002; Cameron et al, 2004). At the same time, however, a substantially higher prevalence of MetS in women than in men was observed in several countries in Asia and Eastern Europe, as well as among African, Hispanic, and Native Americans (Ford et al, 2002; Cameron et al, 2004; Cankurtaran et al, 2006; Mokan et al, 2008). …”

The goal of this study is to estimate the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), together with its components and correlates, among elderly Russians. Our population-based sample included randomly selected residents of Moscow aged 55 and older: 955 women with an average age of 67.6, and 833 men with an average age of 68.9. MetS was defined according to NCEP-ATPIII. The prevalence of MetS was found to be 41.7% in women and 26.8% in men. It tended to decrease with age in men, but not in women. MetS was inversely related to education in women, but not in men. The most prevalent individual components of MetS were as follows: hypertension (64.4%), abdominal obesity (55%), and decreased HDL C (46%) for women; and hypertension (71%) and fasting hyperglycemia (35.2%) for men. An elevated level of TG was the rarest MetS component, affecting 23.5% of women and 22.1% of men. The higher female prevalence of MetS was attributable to abdominal obesity. MetS was found to be associated with markers of insulin resistance, low-grade inflammation, and insufficient fibrinolysis. Although the metabolic burden is an important contributor to high levels of ill-health and cardiovascular mortality among elderly Russians (especially women), it does not explain why cardiovascular mortality is much higher in Russia than in other industrialized countries.

“…Surveys from the geographically nearest countries with similar socioeconomic environments reported lower prevalence of DM than regional European data (20–79 years) (9.1%) 2. A Slovakian study reported 7.0% in 2007 (among people over 18 years of age),21 and a Croatian survey reported 6.1% in 2008 (between ages 18 and 65)22 in its adult population.…”

Diabetes and diabetic retinopathy in people aged 50 years and older in Hungary

et al. 2016

Prevalence of DM was in line with findings of other RAAB+DRM surveys and slightly lower than the unpublished earlier age-matched Hungarian estimate. Prevalence of DR was slightly lower than expected. The prevalence of STDR was low in people aged 50 years and older in Hungary compared with the results of other RAAB with DRM surveys. DR screening coverage was low. To prevent severe complications of DM and possible concomitant visual loss, the coverage of ophthalmic examinations in patients with DM should be increased.
