Outline of Final Research Achievements

The study revealed that Myanmar’s prevalence of type 2 diabetes was 10.5% (male 11.5%, female 9.2%) and prevalence of glucose intolerance was 19.7% (male 16.5%, female 23.0%). These results were quite higher than other Asian countries such as Sri Lanka (8.8%) and Thailand (^.7%). Especially, the prevalence in Metropolitan Yangon region was 18.2%, being the highest in the nation.
In the analyses using the Markov model, we estimated that almost half of those aged 65 years in Myanmar would suffer diabetes and medical cost was estimated 13,000USD.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究はミャンマーで2型糖尿病と耐糖能異常の全国規模の有病率を明らかにした最初の研究である。他のアジア諸国に比べて極めて高かったことから、この結果は既にミャンマー保健スポーツ省非感染性疾患部関係者と共有の機会を持ち、今後の糖尿病予防対策の方策について検討を開始した。同国内でも首都ネピドーとヤンゴン首都圏の有病率の格差は4倍も異なることが判明しており、その理由の解明が今後の課題となった。
