Abstract
The burden of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in China is significant and growing, and this is reflected in high rates of T2DM in the city of Ningbo, China. Consequent impacts on morbidity, mortality, healthcare expenditure, and health-related quality of life, make this a problem of the utmost importance to address. One way to improve T2DM outcomes is to address lifestyle behaviours that may affect prognosis and complications, such as physical activity levels, dietary habits, smoking status, and alcohol intake. A cross-sectional survey was undertaken to describe the prevalence of being physically active, having a healthy diet, currently smoking, and currently drinking alcohol among people living with T2DM attending a diabetes clinic in Ningbo, China. Regression analysis was used to determine the factors associated with these lifestyle behaviours. We found a high prevalence of a healthy diet (97.8%, 95% CI 96.5-98.7%). Prevalence of being physically active (83.4%, 95% CI 80.6-85.9%), smoking (21.6%, 95% CI 18.8-24.6%), and alcohol drinking (32.9%. 95% CI 29.6-36.2%) appeared in keeping with those of the general population. Marked associations were demonstrated between male sex and smoking (OR 41.1, 95% CI 16.2-139.0), and male sex and alcohol drinking (OR 4.00, 95% CI 2.62-6.20). Correlation between lifestyle factors was demonstrated including between alcohol drinking and smoking, and between physical activity and reduced smoking. General diabetes self-management education programmes that address multiple lifestyle risk factors simultaneously may be beneficial in this population. Specific interventions targeting smoking cessation and reduction in alcohol drinking may be of benefit to men living with T2DM attending a diabetes clinic in Ningbo.

Saudi Med J 2023; 44:211-217. [PMID: 36773970 PMCID: PMC9987703 DOI: 10.15537/smj.2023.44.2.20220719] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/13/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the microvascular complications prevalence in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in the eastern province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. METHODS The participants in this retrospective, cross-sectional study included patients with type 2 DM who visited the diabetes clinics of primary health care centers of 2 National Guard Hospitals, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia. RESULTS This study included 935 patients with type 2 diabetes (54.1% women versus 45.9% men). Oral hypoglycemic medication was the most common treatment (90.3%). Overall, 55.1% of patients visited the ophthalmology clinic for retinopathy screening. The last glycated hemoglobin A1c result (mean: 8.04%) was higher than the second-to-last result (mean: 8.03%), or the third-to-last result (mean: 7.99%). The prevalence of microvascular complications of DM was 55.1%. Independent significant factors linked with a higher risk of microvascular issues of DM were higher age, visits to an ophthalmology clinic, and the use of injection therapy. The most typical complications that our patients experienced was nephropathy (80.2%), followed by retinopathy (32.7%), and neuropathy (8.4%). CONCLUSION Microvascular complications were extremely common in type 2 DM patients in our region. Being older, regularly visiting an ophthalmologist, and using injection therapy were predictive factors correlated with a higher chance of experiencing these complications.

Abstract
Aim The study aimed to assess the dissatisfaction of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with the care that they received at a diabetes outpatient clinic in Ningbo, China and to determine the associated factors. Methods A cross‐sectional study was conducted among 406 adults with T2DM in 2020–2021. Those who were treated at the diabetes outpatient clinic for at least six consecutive months before the survey date were eligible. The Short Assessment of Patient Satisfaction scale was used to assess participants' dissatisfaction with the care that they received. Results Of the participants, 25.1% were not satisfied with the care that they received at the diabetes outpatient clinic in Ningbo. The odds of dissatisfaction were higher in physically active people compared to those who were not (odds ratio [OR]: 3.41; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.56–7.45) and those with >1–5 years of T2DM compared to ≤1 year (OR: 2.18; 95% CI: 1.05–4.53). Conclusion A quarter of people with T2DM were dissatisfied with the care that they received at the diabetes outpatient clinic in Ningbo, China, and the factors associated with dissatisfaction were identified.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The burden of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in China is increasing, with potential impacts on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of those who develop the disease. Context-specific assessment of HRQoL and its associated factors informs the development of contextually appropriate interventions to improve HRQoL. This study aimed to determine the HRQoL and its associated factors in people with T2DM at a tertiary care clinic in Ningbo, China. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was undertaken among 406 people with T2DM in 2020-21. The primary outcome was HRQoL measured using EQ VAS and EQ-5D index from the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire. Multivariable regression analysis was used to determine the factors associated with HRQoL scores. RESULTS The mean (± standard deviation) EQ VAS score was 68.7 (13.8). Median (interquartile range) EQ-5D index was 1 (0.027). Prevalence of problems in HRQoL domains was as follows: pain/discomfort (15.7%), anxiety/depression (13.3%), mobility (5.4%), self-care (3.5%) and managing usual activities (5.2%). The ≥60 years age group had a mean EQ VAS score 8.7 points higher (95% CI 3.4, 13.9; p < .001) than the 18-39 years age group. Those with T2DM >10 years had a mean EQ VAS score 8.6 points lower than those with a duration <1 year (-12.8, -4.4; p = .001). A T2DM duration >10 years was associated with a reduction in the EQ-5D index of 0.029 (-0.041, -0.016; p < .001) compared with a duration <1 year. CONCLUSIONS Depression/anxiety and pain/discomfort are important domains of reduced HRQoL for this population. A longer duration of T2DM is associated with reduced HRQoL scores, including both EQ VAS and EQ-5D index. Increasing age may be counterintuitively associated with an increase in EQ VAS score in this population, potentially reflecting a 'paradox of aging' process. Future work should focus on developing, evaluating and implementing interventions to improve HRQoL in T2DM, such as strategies to manage pain and mental health conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microvascular complications lead to disability, dependency, and accelerated morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to identify predictors of blood glucose change and time to microvascular complications among patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients enrolled between December 2014 and December 2015 at Felege Hiwot and Debre Markos Referral Hospital. A total of 318 T2DM patients were included in the study. Joint modelling of longitudinal and survival analysis was employed to identify predictors of Blood Glucose Change and Microvascular Complications in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients. RESULTS The prevalence of microvascular complications in Type 2 diabetes patients was 26.3%, 95%confidence interval(CI):(21.5, 31.1). Of which, half of the patients developed a microvascular complication after 30 months from the onset of the follow-up. The significant predictors of developing microvascular complication were positive proteinurea (adjusted hazard ratio (AHR) = 1.418, 95%CI: 1.080, 1.861), Serum creatinine (AHR = 3.704, 95%CI: 1.992, 6.887), Weight (AHR = 1.058, 95%CI: 1.023, 1.094), and log fasting blood glucose(log(FBS))(AHR = 1.013, 95%CI: 1.010, 1.015). The predictors of fasting blood glucose progression were higher baseline FBS(est(estimate) = 0.002,95%CI:0.0018, 0.0022), Systolic blood pressure (SBP) (est = 0.003, 95%CI: 0.002, 0.004), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (est = 0.002, 95%CI: 0.0002, 0.004), and age (est = 0.003, 95%CI: 0.001, 0.004). CONCLUSION The progression of the fasting blood glucose level for rural patients was faster than for urban patients. Patients having higher baseline FBS, previous hypertension history, higher SBP, higher DBP, older age, and fewer visits to the hospital have a relatively more progressive change in blood sugar levels. Patients having higher triglyceride levels, positive proteinuria, higher fasting blood sugar, higher weight, and a lesser number of hospital visits have a higher risk of developing a complication. In response to this finding, an aggressive intervention that targets to prevent microvascular complications is required.

Abstract
Background Previous reports regarding health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of hypertensive individuals commonly concentrated on urban population. This study focused on rural population and aimed to explore the influencing factors of HRQoL.
Methods Date were derived from Henan Rural Cohort study. The HRQoL of participants were assessed via European Quality of Life Five Dimension Five Level Scale (EQ-5D-5L) instrument. Tobit regression model and generalized linear model were employed to explore the influencing factors of HRQoL. Another binary logistic regression was utilized to examine the robustness of our results. Results Among 23,485 rural population, 8128 participants were identified with hypertension. The mean (SD) utility index and VAS score of non-hypertension group were 0.96 (0.09) and 79.66 (14.20), respectively, while in hypertension group were 0.94 (0.14) and 75.88 (15.50), respectively. Pain/discomfort was the most common self-reported problem (23.05%) for patients. Aging and suffering with other diseases were negatively associated with HRQoL among rural patients, while high socioeconomic status and healthy lifestyles corresponded with high HRQoL. Conclusions Hypertension did push considerable pressures on patients’ HRQoL. Maintaining healthy lifestyles and improving the socioeconomic status of patients were advisable ways to reduce this burden.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is a serious metabolic disorder which becomes common in middle and low incomes countries since few decades. Microvascular complications include retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy all of which can lead to disability, dependency, accelerate their morbidity, and mortality. In Ethiopia, there is paucity data regarding this topic. Hence, this study aimed to assess prevalence of microvascular complications and its predictors among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. METHODS Cross-sectional study was conducted from February to March 2020 at Dessie town hospitals. We used simple random sampling to recruit study participants and pre-tested interviewer administered questionnaire to collect the data. Data was entered into Epi-Data 3.1 and exported to SPSS-23 for analysis. Binary logistic regression was done to select potential variables to be adjusted at p ≤ 0.25. After running multivariable regression, variables with a p-value ≤ 0.05 were declared as statistically significant. RESULTS Three hundred and thirty-five type 2 DM patients participated in the study, of which 54.6% were males. One hundred and twenty-seven [37.9% (95% CI 32.5%-43.3%)] of diabetes mellitus had at least one microvascular complications. These were retinopathy 24.8%, nephropathy 16.1%, and neuropathy 8.1%. Age 60-87 years (AOR = 2.76, 95% CI 1.02-7.46), duration of diabetes > 5 years (AOR = 4.09, 95% CI 2.40-6.96), mellitus and co-morbid hypertension (AOR = 3.52, 95% CI 2.09-5.95), were statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS In this study, diabetic microvascular complications are prevalent. Increasing the age of participants, longer duration of diabetes mellitus and co-morbid hypertension were independent predictors. Health workers should give emphasis for diabetes mellitus through early screening and health education, abrupt medication for aged patients with long duration of diabetes mellitus, and hypertension, and also early detection and management of microvascular complication.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of comorbidities in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and identify the factors independently associated with comorbidities in a tertiary care department in Ningbo, China. DESIGN A computerised medical records database was used to conduct a cross-sectional study. SETTING The study was conducted in a tertiary care department in Ningbo, China. PARTICIPANTS The study was conducted on adult patients with T2DM, and it included 8 years of data, from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2019. THE PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURE Comorbidity was defined as the coexistence of at least one other chronic condition, that is, either a physical non-communicable disease (duration ≥3 months), a mental health condition (duration ≥3 months) or an infectious disease (duration ≥3 months). RESULTS In total, 4777 patients with T2DM satisfied the eligibility criteria. Over 8 years, the prevalence of comorbidities was 93.7%. The odds of comorbidities increased with the age of patients (18 to 39 years: 1; 40 to 59 years: OR 2.80, 95% CI 1.98 to 3.96; 60 to 69 years: OR 4.43, 95% CI 3.04 to 6.44; and ≥70 years: OR 10.97, 95% CI 7.17 to 16.77). The odds were lower in female patients (OR 0.66, 95% CI 0.51 to 0.84), patients residing in rural areas (OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.59 to 0.95) and patients without health insurance (OR 0.62, 95% CI 0.46 to 0.83). The odds were higher in single/divorced/widowed patients compared with those in married patients (OR 1.95, 95% CI 1.21 to 3.12). CONCLUSIONS A large percentage of patients with T2DM in the tertiary care department in Ningbo, China, had comorbidities, and the factors associated with comorbidities were identified. The findings could be used in developing, evaluating and implementing interventions aimed at improving outcomes in patients with T2DM with comorbidities.

Abstract
PURPOSE Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the major public health concerns in China. Studies on the association between dietary salt intake and the glycemic response of T2D are lacking in China. The aim was to investigate the association between the levels of dietary salt intake and the plasma glucose, insulin and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1 c) levels in T2D patients. METHODS Patients with T2D, who accepted management and treatment by the National Standardized Metabolic Disease Management Center at Ningbo First Hospital from March 2018 to January 2020, were included in this study. Dietary salt intake was assessed through a standardized food frequency questionnaire. Anthropometry, blood pressure and biomarkers were measured by well-trained endocrinology nurses. Generalized linear models (GLMs) were used to examine the associations. RESULTS A total of 1145 eligible T2D patients with a mean age of 51.4 years were included in the study. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose and 2-hour postprandial insulin were significantly increased across dietary salt categories. The GLMs further showed that dietary salt intake >8 g/day was positively associated with FPG and HbA1c. CONCLUSION Higher daily salt intake was found to be associated with FPG and HbA1c in T2D patients. Lifestyle education and promotion of salt reduction should be provided to T2D patients.
