MORROS-GONZALEZ, Elly et al. The elderly with diabetes and associated factors. SABE study, Bogotá, Colombia. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2017, vol.42, n.4, pp.230-236. ISSN 0120-2448.
Objective:
to know the self-report of diabetes in the elderly population of the city of Bogotá and its association with sociodemographic variables, health status and anthropometric measures.
Design:
population-based observational analytical cross-sectional study.
Reference frame:
data from the SABE study (Health, Well-being and Aging Survey) Bogotá, Colombia.
Participants:
one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people aged 60 or more from Bogotá, Colombia.
Measurements:
sociodemographic variables, diseases, habits, physical activity, treatment, cognitive and affective evaluation, functional status and anthropometric measurements. Bi-varied and multivariate analyzes were performed with the statistical package SAS (version 9.4).
Results:
patients had an average age of 71.2 ± 8.0 and 62% were women; 17.5% made self-report diagnosis of diabetes. In the multivariate analysis, diabetes was associated with the presence of hypertension (OR = 1.62 CI 95% confidence intervals = 1.20-1.18), cataract (OR = 1.71 IC 95% = 1.24-2.36) and increased abdominal circumference (OR = 1.03 IC 95% = 1.02-1.04). It was also associated with lower grip strength (OR = 0.98 95% IC = 0.96-0.99).
Conclusion:
the prevalence of DM according to self-report in Bogotá is found in 17.5% of the surveyed population and represents one of the highest prevalence in the Latin American and Caribbean cities where the SABE study was carried out. (Acta Med Colomb 2017; 42: 230-236).
