Abstract
Objective
: to know the self-report of diabetes in the elderly population of the city of Bogotá
and its association with sociodemographic variables, health status and anthropometric measures.
Design
: population-based observational analytical cross-sectional study.
Reference frame:
data from the SABE study (Health, Well-being and Aging Survey) Bogotá,
Colombia.
Participants
: one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people aged 60 or more from Bogotá,
Colombia.
Measurements
: sociodemographic variables, diseases, habits, physical activity, treatment,
cognitive and affective evaluation, functional status and anthropometric measurements. Bi-varied
and multivariate analyzes were performed with the statistical package SAS (version 9.4).
Results:
patients had an average age of 71.2 ± 8.0 and 62% were women; 17.5% made self-
report diagnosis of diabetes. In the multivariate analysis, diabetes was associated with the presence
of hypertension (OR = 1.62 CI 95% confidence intervals = 1.20-1.18), cataract (OR = 1.71 IC 95%
= 1.24-2.36) and increased abdominal circumference (OR = 1.03 IC 95% = 1.02-1.04). It was also
associated with lower grip strength (OR = 0.98 95% IC = 0.96-0.99).
Conclusion
: the prevalence of DM according to self-report in Bogotá is found in 17.5% of
the surveyed population and represents one of the highest prevalence in the Latin American and
Caribbean cities where the SABE study was carried out.
