Abstract:
Objective To investigate the status of glycemic control and influencing factors among male and female elderly diabetic patients in Wuhan. Methods The cluster sampling method was used to select 5 441 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who participated in the elderly physical examination from January to December 2018 in 6 administrative districts of Wuhan City. The effects of different social-demographic characteristics, different behavioral lifestyle, and different health-related variables on the glycemic control rates among male and female elderly diabetic patients were analyzed. Binary logistic regression was employed to analyze the influencing factors among those people. Results The glycemic control rate of elderly diabetic patients in Wuhan was 54.29%, including 53.25% in males and 55.06% in females. Multivariate unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that living in remote urban areas, central obesity, and elevated TG were the risk factors for blood glucose control in male patients, while having weekly exercise routine of walking was the protective factor. Similarly, having weekly exercise routine of walking was the protective factor in female patients, but living in rural area, long duration of diabetes, and elevated TG and TC were the risk factors for controlling blood glucose level in female patients. Conclusion There is little difference in blood glucose control level between male and female elderly diabetic patients in Wuhan, but there are certain differences in influencing factors. Targeted diabetes control measures should be formulated according to the different influencing factors of elderly diabetic patients of different genders.
