Results The total scores of self-efficacy in the middle-aged and elder prediabetes were at moderate level. The score of the older patients was significantly higher than that of the middle aged (P<0.01). Multiple regression analysis showed that marital status and disease knowledge were main factors impacted their self-efficacy of the middle aged and family history of diabetes and the disease knowledge were the main factor affecting the self-efficacy of the elderly prediabetes. Conclusions The self-efficacy of middle-aged and elderly prediabetes is at middle level.
