A Risk Scores for Predicting Prevalence of Diabetes in the LAO Population

This was a cross-sectional investigation conducted from December 2015 to July 2017, in 15 selected rural villages of 2 districts of Vientiane municipality, Lao PDR. Target population was interested people, both men and women of age range between 30 to 70 years, living in the selected community. Someone diagnosed with diabetes and/or using any anti-diabetic drug was excluded.

The study protocol initiated with the interview on demographic and behavior information with each participant, followed by physical exam and blood pressure measurement.

Fasting glucose were measured.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Undiagnosed Diabetes

Detailed Description

All participants were invited to meet with the researcher.

Demographic data comprises of age, gender, family history of diabetes including parents and sibling, female with history of having baby weighing more than 4 kg, gestational diabetes, and history or current of dyslipidemia (triglycerides >150 mg/dl, LDL-C ≥ 100 mg/dl, HDL-c < 35 mg/dl), and behavior data were smoking habit, physical inactivity (less than 150 min/week or 3 day/week) were collected by interview.

After that each participant was appointed for blood pressure measurement. Body mass index was computed from body weight (kg) divided by body height (m2) using the weight and height scale.

Waist Circumference was measured at the midpoint between the superior border of iliac crest and the lowest rib using measuring tape with the subject in the position of standing relax and in underclothes

Hip circumference is measured at the level of maximal gluteal protrusion

Blood pressure (BP) value was done with the participants, after 5 minutes relaxing, sitting up right with their upper arm positioned at heart level and measured by Omron blood pressure monitor.

Fasting Plasma Glucose was utilized to identify an individual who is normal, has either pre-diabetes or undiagnosed diabetes. Venous blood samples were collected 5 ml from antecubital vein into the test tube
