Abstract: Objective To investigate the prevalence of diabetes and pre-diabetes in elderly Hui population in the countryside of Guyuan,and the possible risk factors. Methods After stratified sampling, we performed our study in all the subjects. Level of fasting and 2 h postprandial blood glucose(PBG2h) were measured in all the participants. In the subjects with fasting plasma glucose (FBG) higher than 5.60 mmol/L and PBG2 h higher than 7.8 mmol/L, a 83-g oral glucose tolerance test were performed. Questionnaire for diabetes epidemiological study was used to record the characteristics of all the subjects. Results The prevalence of diabetes and pre-diabetes was significantly higher in the 60-65 group (P=0.023). In elderly Hui population, the prevalence was significantly lower both in ≥ 65 group (P=0.009) and in men (P<0.001). The standardized prevalence of diabetes was lower in Hui (6.4%) than in Han (9.9%). Smoking was an important risk factor of diabetes in elderly Hui population(P=0.020). Conclusion Compared the elderly Hui population with Han,there was significant difference in the prevalence of diabetes and pre-diabetes in different gender and age groups. Smoking cigarette was a possible risk factor.
