Disparities in prediabetes and type 2 diabetes prevalence between indigenous and nonindigenous populations from Southeastern Mexico: The Comitan Study.


ABSTRACT: Aims:In this research we assessed the prevalence of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes and its association with social determinants such as indigenous origin and residence area in population from Comitan, Chiapas, Mexico. Methods:The Comitan Study is a population-based study carried out from 2010 to 2012 that included 1844 participants aged???20?years, 880 indigenous and 964 nonindigenous participants. Ethnicity was ascertained by self-report and speaking an indigenous language was also recorded. Prediabetes was defined as fasting serum glucose 5.6-6.9?mmol/l or 2-hour post load serum glucose 7.8-11.0?mmol/l. Type 2 diabetes was defined as fasting serum glucose???7.0?mmol/l or 2-h post load serum glucose???11.1?mmol/l or previous clinical diagnosis. Results:Age-sex-adjusted prevalence of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes was 18.0% (95%CI 15.3-20.6) and 11.0% (95%CI 8.9-131.1) in nonindigenous and 10.6% (95%CI 8.4-12.7) and 4.7% (95%CI 3.3-6.1) in indigenous individuals, respectively. After stratifying by ethnicity, in both indigenous and nonindigenous participants the probability of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes increased with age and BMI. In both indigenous and nonindigenous participants the probability of type 2 diabetes was lower in those living in rural compared with urban areas. Conclusions:The prevalence of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes was significantly lower in indigenous than in nonindigenous participants. Also, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes was lower in those living in rural areas. Health benefits of a traditional lifestyle may partially account for these differences.
