“…2 Age is an important factor that affects the increased risk of prediabetes and diabetes, based on previous national and international studies. 14 After excluding other confounders, age significantly affected the risk of prediabetes. Similar to previous studies, 15,16 our study results revealed that a higher level of education in the elderly group increases the risk of prediabetes and diabetes.…”

Objective This study aimed to investigate the interaction between age groups and risk factors for diabetes and prediabetes in Shanghai communities and to identify the effect of age on other risk factors for diabetes and prediabetes. Methods This study recruited 3540 participants with undiagnosed diabetes or prediabetes in 14 communities in Shanghai from February to August 2019. All participants underwent a comprehensive examination, including filling out a detailed questionnaire, physical examination, 75 g oral glucose tolerance test, and blood sample collection. In addition, logistic regression was used to analyze the interaction between age and risk factors for prediabetes and diabetes. Results The statistical analysis included 2776 people. In this study, the prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes were 15.1% and 52.3%, respectively. The prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes is higher in the elderly than in the middle-aged group. Among the risk factors for diabetes, overweight was associated with higher age ( P -interaction 0.028). In addition, among the risk factors for prediabetes, a high level of education was associated with higher age ( P -interaction 0.039) and elevated serum cholesterol level was associated with lower age ( P -interaction 0.019). Conclusion This study confirmed an interaction between age and other influencing factors, which may be important in explaining differences in risk factors for diabetes and prediabetes in the middle-aged and elderly populations. Community health facilities can provide health guidance to people of different age groups to prevent and control prediabetes and diabetes.

“…However, it is documented that hypertension has been associated with over ~8.5 million deaths as of 2015, primarily in low- and middle-income countries [ 12 ]. In comparison, obesity is reported to affect ~650 million adults, particularly those in high- and middle-income countries [ 35 ], while diseases such as diabetes mellitus have affected ∼451 million people in recent decades [ 36 ].…”

Carotenoids constitute compounds of significant biological interest due to their multiple biological activities, such as antimicrobial, anticancer, antiadipogenic, antidiabetic, and antioxidant properties. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) comprehends a series of metabolic abnormalities (e.g., hypertension, obesity, and atherogenic dyslipidemia) that can affect children, adolescents, and the elderly. The treatment of MetS involves numerous medications, which, despite their efficacy, pose challenges due to prolonged use, high costs, and various side effects. Carotenoids and their derivatives have been proposed as alternative treatments to MetS because they reduce serum triglyceride concentrations, promote insulin response, inhibit adipogenesis, and downregulate angiotensin-converting enzyme activity. However, carotenoids are notably sensitive to pH, light exposure, and temperature. This review addresses the activity of carotenoids such as lycopene, lutein, fucoxanthin, astaxanthin, crocin, and β-carotene towards MetS. It includes a discussion of sources, extraction methods, and characterization techniques for analyzing carotenoids. Encapsulation approaches are critically reviewed as alternatives to prevent degradation and improve the biological performance of carotenoids. A brief overview of the physiopathology and epidemiology of the diseases, including MetS, is also provided.

“…Other studies also showed certain socio-demographics to be associated with diabetes, such as gender, age, higher BMI, and co-morbidities, such as hypertension. 10,11 Hence, the current study is to determine the national prevalence of diabetes and identify associated factors among the adult population in Malaysia. This survey used structured questionnaires administered by trained interviewers.…”

Background Diabetes is a major non-communicable health problem in both developed and developing countries, including Malaysia. People with diabetes are living longer and are vulnerable to microvascular and macrovascular complications, thus representing a significant public health problem with high morbidity, mortality, and substantial economic repercussions. We aim to determine the national prevalence of diabetes and identify associated factors among the adult population in Malaysia. Methods A nationwide cross-sectional study was conducted in 2019 involving 10,464 respondents in Malaysia. A two-stage stratified sampling design was used to select a representative sample of Malaysian adults. Structured validated questionnaires with face-to-face interviews were used to obtain data from selected respondents aged ≥ 18. Finger-pricked fasting blood glucose tests using the Accutrend GC machine were performed on respondents who claimed they did not have diabetes. Chi-square tests and logistic regression were used to determine associations between diabetes and associated factors at the significance level of = 0.05. Results The overall prevalence of diabetes among adult respondents was 18.3% (n = 2629). The highest prevalence of diabetes was among females (18.4%), those aged 60 & above (41.5%), Indian (31.4%), those without formal education (28.3%), widow/widower/divorce (33.2%), not working (24.9%), inactive (22.5%), obese (27.1%), hypertension (36.0%) and high cholesterol level (30.4%). Logistic regression analyses revealed that age group, ethnicity, education level, marital status, physical activity level, obesity, blood pressure status and cholesterol status were associated with diabetes among adults. Conclusion This study showed that the prevalence of diabetes among adult populations in Malaysia is high, with about one in five adults found to have diabetes. Awareness programs and interventions on diabetes need to be improved, especially related to behavioural charge as a strategy for the prevention and control of diabetes and its complications.
