We estimated awarenes, treatment, plasma glucose control, and asociated factors in diabetes, as wel as, socioeconomic-related inequality in the prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes.
Data for adults aged 35–70 years were obtained from the baseline phase of the Dehgolan prospective cohort study (DehPCS). Diabetes status was determined as fasting plasma glucose (FPG) of ≥ 126 mg/dl and/or taking glucose lowering medication confirmed by a medical practioner. Prediabetes was considered as 10 ≤ FPG ≤ 125 mg/dl.
The relative concentration index (RCI) was used to exhibit socioeconomic inequality in the prevalence of prediabetes and DM. Prevalence of prediabetes and DM, diabetes awarenes and treatment, and glycemic control of DM 18.2%, 10.0%, 78.50%, 68.91% and, 28.50%, respectively. Increasing age (p < 0.01), Increasing body mas index (BMI) (p < 0.05), ex-smoker (p < 0.01), family history of diabetes (FHD) (p < 0.01), and comorbidity (p < 0.01) were independent risk factors for DM.
Age group of 46–60 (p < 0.05), ex-smoker (p < 0.05), FHD (p < 0.05) were increased chance of awarenes. Curent smokers (p < 0.05), and higher education increase the chance of glycemic control in DM. Both DM (RCI = − 0.234) and prediabetes (RCI = − 0.12) were concentrated significantly among les-educated participants.
Summary
DM was concentrated significantly among por (RCI = − 0.094) people. A significant proportion of DM awarenes and treatment can be
