The Study on Dietary Pattern and Related Factors of Diabetics

Objective To compare the difference of dietary pattern,body mass index(BMI),waist circumference(WC),blood pressure and serum lipids among diabetes mellitus(DM) patients,people with impaired fast glucose(IFG) and normal people and to find out appropriate approaches on DM prevention.Methods Questionnaires,physical examination,biochemical measurement were carried out in 943 subjects with cross sectional study.Results Out of 943 subjects,there were 168 subjects diagnosed as DM(17 8%) and 150 subjects as IFG(15 9%).The awareness of impaired blood glucose was 75 2% in DM group and 9 8% in IFG group.The average energy intake in DM,IFG and normal group was 2 272 kcal,2 510 kcal and 2 470 kcal respectively.Energy from dietary fat was 34%,33% and 33 2% of total energy in the three groups.The prevalent rates of obesity,blood pressure,serum cholesterol and triglycerides were higher in DM and IFG groups than those in the normal group( P 0 05).The correlation analysis showed that fast blood glucose had close positive relationship with BMI,WC,blood pressure,total cholesterol and triglycerides.Conclusions For DM patients,dietary intervention including total energy intake control and dietary fat intake reduction should be emphasized.IFG patients as the crucial population should enhance their awareness and be provided reasonable intervention for decreasing the occurrence of DM.
