Background: The assessment of risk factors for diabetes contributes to early detection and timely prevention of this disease. Chui province of Kyrgyzstan is considered as a region with increasing number of patients with type 2 diabetes (Type 2 DM). Objective: To study the features of the risk of developing Type 2 DM in the Kyrgyz population- residents of Chui province of Kyrgyzstan.
Methods: 55 vulnerable families with low income (227 respondents of Kyrgyz- Asian ethnic group) which live in Chui region, the low altitude of mountain belt (500-1200 meters from sea level), were selected randomly to the study. A cross-sectional study was performed. The odds ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Stratification was carried out by age and sex: 18-39 years, 40-49 years, 50-59 years, over 60 years; 43 men and 184 women. The FINDRISK questionnaire was used to assess the risk of developing Type 2 DM within ten years.
Results: The high risk a 16.2% and moderate increased risk a 46.6% were detected in men, which was primarily associated with arterial hypertension (AH) and insufficient consumption of vegetables and fruits. In women the high risk a 19.7% and a slightly increased risk a 39.6% were defined and were associated with abdominal obesity (AO) and with AH. Men and women had increased levels of BMI, AO and AH in the group older age than 60 years.
Conclusion: The more significant and common risk factors (RF) for Type 2 DM in men is AH (60.4%), and in women: AO (80%). The prevalence of RF for Type 2 DM in the Kyrgyz in Chui region of Kyrgyzstan increases with age. In Kyrgyz Chui region dominated by a slightly increased risk of developing diabetes in the next 10 years: 46.6% in men, 39.6% in women and it increases with age. The risk of developing Type 2 diabetes in the Kyrgyz in the valleys is associated with abdominal obesity in women, and with hypertension in men. Slightly increased risk of developing in the next 10 years diabetes in the next 10 years is predominated in both men and women.
