Association Between Sociodemographic Factors and Pre-diabetes Mellitus in Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Abstract

Abstract Objectives This study aimed to identify the association of sociodemographic factors with prediabetes mellitus. Methods This cross-sectional study was carried out among 60 adults (12 male and 48 female) aged 25–60 years old. None of the subjects were diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. Sociodemographic data were collected using a questionnaire. Blood lipid profile, HbA1c and anthropometric measurement was assessed. Subjects was categorized based on HbA1c level into non-prediabetic and prediabetic with a cut-off of 5.7%. Results Mean of age of subjects was 45.5 ± 8.45 years and the HbA1C levels for male and female subjects were 5.95 ± 1.73% and 5.77 ± 1.52% respectively. Prevalence of prediabetes mellitus in subjects was 18.75% which was dominated by female (80%) with 66.0% of the prediabetics had a body mass index (BMI) of ≥25 kg/m2. There was a significant association of prediabetes with education level, age, and LDL-c (P < 0.05). Subjects with a low education level (elementary school/did not finish school) had an increased risk of prediabetes by 4.93 (95% CI:1.22–25.00). The odds ratio of age ≥50 years old was 3.63 (95% CI:0.91–15.68). However, prediabetes status was not significantly associated with gender, BMI, dietary status, hereditary of diabetes mellitus, smoking status, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and HDL-c level. Conclusions Prediabetes mellitus is related to low education level, advanced age, and high LDL-c level. Funding Sources Kemenristek Dikti.
