ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study estimated the burden and characterised the risk factors associated with diabetes and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in an undiagnosed rural population.

Design

Data for 36 960 participants from the Henan Rural Cohort baseline with undiagnosed diabetes were analysed. X² test and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to test for association between risk factors and diabetes and IFG.

Results

Women constituted 60.30% of the study participants, mean age of participants was 55.32±12.18 years, risk factors for diabetes and IFG were prevalent (75% dyslipidaemia, 57% overweight/obese, 50% central obesity and 18% metabolic syndrome). The prevalence of diabetes and IFG was 4.19% and 7.22%, respectively. Having a metabolic syndrom
