mellitus in the adult population of Porto-Novo. Methods: A cross-sectional study with random
sampling, stratified cluster, was used. Fasting blood glucose was measured in capillary blood (Accu-
Chek Active). Diabetes mellitus was defined as fasting glucose ≥ 1.26 g/L, and fasting hyperglycemia
in non-diabetic fasting glucose ≥ 1.10 and < 1.26 g/L. Results: The survey involved 240 individuals.
The sex ratio was 0.48. The mean age was 46 ± 13 years (range 25 - 80 years). The prevalence
of hyperglycemic patients was 7.9%. The prevalence of diabetes was 6.7%, including 3.3% of
unknown diabetes, half of diabetics. The prevalence of fasting hyperglycemia without diabetes
was 1.2%. The risk factors for diabetes type 2 onset were a family history of diabetes (p = 0.017),
older age (p = 0.003), hypertension (p = 0.005) and abdominal obesity (NCEP: p = 0.044; FID: p =
0.001). Conclusion: These high figures confirm the increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus in
Benin, documented in many developing countries. |
