The age-standardized prevalence of diabetes and IFG was 17.1% and 7.8%, respectively, with no significant differences between women and men. Of the 195 diabetic subjects, 146 (74.9%) had been previously diagnosed. More than half (54%) of those previously diagnosed were found to be with unsatisfactory glycemic control. Compared to the 1994 survey, there was a significant increase in the prevalence of diabetes by 31.5%.
