The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of DM 2, obesity, hypertension, and lipid disturbances in a representative group of urban and rural population in the Lublin region (Eastern Poland). The study was performed in 1998-2001. A two-layer draw was applied: two groups of 3000 people were drawn from the population of Lublin town and from the rural areas each comprising 100,000 inhabitants. In all subjects physical examination was performed and body weight, height, and blood pressure measurements were obtained. Blood samples were taken from the basilic vein to estimate: blood glucose, lipids and insulin concentration. Venous blood glucose concentration was measured using a Glucotrend glucometer. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) after a 75 g-glucose load was performed in subjects without previously diagnosed diabetes mellitus and when the fasting blood glucose was < 8.0 mmol/l (144 mg/l). The LDL-cholesterol level was calculated according to Friedewald formula. DM 2 was identified according to the WHO criteria from 1985. Obesity and hypertensi...Continue Reading
