Abstract: (70 Views)
Objective: Knowledge of the current status of diabetes in Yazd is crucial for health policy planning, maintaining stable disease prevalence rates and risk factors, and establishing evaluation indicators. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of diabetes in Yazd Province in accordance with acceptable international standards in 2018–2019.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in Yazd Province in 2018–2019. The study population included all individuals living in the geographical areas of Yazd Province in 2018–2019 who had sought medical or preventive services at health centers or pharmacies. Data were obtained through collaboration with the Health Deputy (APPLE project), the Food and Drug Deputy (provincial pharmacies), insurance organizations (medical services, social security, relief committee, armed forces, banks, etc.), and the Diabetes Treatment Research Center.
Results: After removing duplicate data, 95,798 diabetic patients were registered. Approximately 58% of the patients were female and 42% were male. The mean age of the patients was 59.2 ± 13.34 years. About 68% of the patients were receiving insulin treatment.
Conclusion: Considering the importance of diabetes and its increasing prevalence globally and especially in Yazd Province, and in order to implement a monitoring and continuous care program for the disease, an effort was made to present the overall picture of diabetes in the province.
