Objective To analyze the diabetes prevalence and it's risk factors among adults in Changsha city and provide the scientific evidence for diabetes prevention and control. Methods The stratified multi-stage cluster sampling method was used to collect data of residents(≥18 years old)from 5 counties or districts as the subjects during 2013 to 2014. The survey included structured questionnaire, physical examination and blood tests. Risk factors of diabetes were analyzed by Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 19 812 subjects were investigated. The effective response subjects were 19 580; 1 970 subjects had diabetes and the crude prevalence of diabetes was 10.06%. The prevalence rates of male and female was 8.95%(746/8 335) and 10.88%(1 224/11 245) respectively, with statistically significant difference(χ2=19.80, P<0.01). The prevalence rates of urban and suburb were 11.34%(1 048/9 238)and 8.92%(922/10 342)respectively,which has statistical significance (χ2=31.82,P<0.01).The prevalence of diabetes between 1.10%and 18.03%among all age groups, which has statistical significance among different age groups(χ2=797.67, P<0.01), and increased with the increase of age(χ2trend=731.99, P<0.01). The prevalence of diabetes of those whose educational background was Junior high school, senior high school, college, bachelor or above was 10.88%(1 529/14 050), 9.06%(290/3 201), 6.94%(97/1 398), 5.84%(52/891) respectively, The difference of diabetes prevalence also showed statistical significance among population with different educational background(χ2=46.62,P<0.01). The prevalence rates of people with hypertension and without hypertension were 18.33%(1 180/6 437)and 6.02%(790/13 132) respectively, which has statistical significance(χ2=723.68, P<0.01). The results of multi variant logistic regression analysis indicated that high blood pressure(OR=2.24), obesity(OR=2.12), overweight(OR=1.48), living in urban area(OR=1.54) and high age(OR=1.36)were independent risk factors of diabetes. Conclusion The diabetes prevalence in Changsha was high. The comprehensive prevention measures according to risk factors of diabetes should be taken, especially should focus on the people 40 years of age or older, with high blood pressure, being overweight or obese and living in urban area.
