Research Abstract |
Impaired glucose tolerane (IGT) may represent a stage in the natural history of diabetes, because those IGT are a high risk of developing diabetes than the general population. The prevalence of non-insulindependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) , estimated from population-based studies using recent WHO Study Group's standard classification of and criteria for NIDDM.There are many differences in the age-adjusted prevalence of NIDDM between the populations. Many populations not of Caucasian origin are apparently more susceptible to daveloping NIDDM,given modernization or westernization of their lifestyle, and prevalence has reached very highlevels in a number of these communites. Primary prevention covers activities aimed at preventing IGT and NIDDM from occurring in susceptible individuals or population through modification of environmental and behavioral risk factors or specific intervention for susceptible individuals. Most current zdvice is based on the knowledge of sight-threatening complications of NIDDM and promoting physical activity. Prevention strategies for activities are aimed at modifying the levels of causal risk factors in groups of individuals as a whole, without regard to the specific level of risk of the individuals.
