Abstract

Goal of work - identify modifiable risk factors for chronic non-infectious diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and in the formation of diabetic foot syndrome. Material and methods. A comparative medical and social study was conducted - a survey of patients in clinics of the city of Perm, suffering and not suffering from diabetes. The study involved 230 people who were assigned according to the presence/absence of diabetes mellitus. The first group included 178 patients with an average age of 45.8 (30.0; 59.0). The second group included 27 patients with diabetes mellitus, with an average age of 61.7 years (50.0; 62.0). The third group included 25 patients with diabetic foot syndrome, whose average age was 64.72 years (61.0; 69.0). Women predominated in all groups. Original and generally accepted questionnaires were used to study the presence of common risk factors for chronic diseases among respondents. Results. The analysis of the studied materials showed a clear qualitative and quantitative pattern of accumulation of risk factors in the age exponent. Most risk factors tend to grow up to 54-65 years. Risk factors such as smoking, alcohol abuse, poor nutrition and overweight, depression and hypertension predominate (р<0,05) in older age groups of respondents. In patients with diabetes mellitus, low physical activity, poor nutrition, and obesity predominate (р<0,05). In patients with diabetic foot syndrome, the same risk factors were identified as in patients without this pathology. At the same time, in respondents with diabetic foot syndrome, physical activity was minimal, and body mass index values were much higher (р<0,05); in addition, patients with diabetic foot syndrome are more likely (р<0,05) to be depressed and perceive their health as «very poor.»
