Integrating hypertension and diabetes management in primary health care settings
Hypertension and diabetes are modifiable cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors that contribute to nearly one-third of all deaths in the Americas Region each year (2.3 million deaths). Despite advances in the detection and clinical management of hypertension and diabetes, there are substantial gaps in their implementation globally and in the Region. The considerable overlap in risk factors, prognosis, and treatment of hypertension and diabetes…
HEARTS como herramienta para integrar el manejo de la hipertensión y la diabetes en los entornos de atención primaria de salud
La hipertensión y la diabetes son los factores de riesgo modificables de las enfermedades cardiovasculares asociados a casi un tercio de todas las muertes en la Región de las Américas cada año (2,3 millones). A pesar de los avances en la detección y el manejo clínico de la hipertensión y la diabetes, existen brechas sustanciales en la implementación a nivel regional y mundial. El considerable solapamiento en los factores de riesgo, el pronóstico …
Screening for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes in dental offices
Further studies are needed to demonstrate the acceptability, feasibility, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of chair-side screening
The impact of weight loss on health-related quality-of-life
Reproducibility of the measurement of sweet taste preferences
The effect of weight loss on changes in health-related quality of life among overweight and obese women with urinary incontinence
Comparison and correlates of three preference-based health-related quality-of-life measures among overweight and obese women with urinary incontinence
Comparison of three methods for diabetes screening in a rural clinic in Honduras
Both the screening equation and POC-A1c are reasonable alternatives to an FPG test for identifying patients with diabetes. Given the barriers to currently recommended screening procedures, these options could have important public health benefits in Latin America
Characteristics of Insured Patients With Persistent Gaps in Diabetes Care Services
BACKGROUND: Although preventing diabetes complications requires long-term management, little is known about which patients persistently fail to get recommended care. OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency and correlates of persistent, long-term gaps in diabetes care. METHOD: : The study population included 8392 patients with diabetes. Patient surveys and medical records from 10 health plans over 3 years provided data on socioeconomic characteristi…
Identifying Risk Factors for Racial Disparities in Diabetes Outcomes
BACKGROUND: Versus whites, blacks with diabetes have poorer control of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), higher systolic blood pressure (SBP), and higher low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol as well as higher rates of morbidity and microvascular complications. OBJECTIVE: To examine whether several mutable risk factors were more strongly associated with poor control of multiple intermediate outcomes among blacks with diabetes than among similar whites.…
Educational Disparities in Rates of Smoking Among Diabetic Adults
Objectives. We assessed educational disparities in smoking rates among adults with diabetes in managed care settings. Methods. We used a cross-sectional, survey-based (2002–2003) observational study among 6538 diabetic patients older than 25 years across multiple managed care health plans and states. For smoking at each level of self-reported educational attainment, predicted probabilities were estimated by means of hierarchical logistic regressi…
Medical Care Costs One Year After Identification of Hyperglycemia Below the Threshold for Diabetes
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the resource utilization and medical costs of patients with impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), or both, in a real-world clinical setting. METHODS: We used fasting and random glucose test results and a previously validated predictive equation to identify glycemic status in 26,111 nondiabetic patients, assigning them to categories of normoglycemia, isolated IFG (I-IFG), isolated IGT (I-IGT), or …
Educational disparities in health behaviors among patients with diabetes
The relationship between educational attainment and health behaviors was modest in strength for most behaviors. Over the life course, the cumulative effect of reduced practice of multiple self-care behaviors among less educated patients may play an important part in shaping the social health gradient
Understanding the Gap Between Good Processes of Diabetes Care and Poor Intermediate Outcomes
BACKGROUND: Performance of diabetes clinical care processes has improved recently, but control of hemoglobin A1c (A1c) and other vascular disease risk factors has improved more slowly. OBJECTIVES: To identify patient factors associated with control of vascular disease risk factors among diabetes patients receiving recommended care processes. POPULATION: Managed care enrollees who participated in the TRIAD (Translating Research into Action for Dia…
The Influence of Maternal Weight and Glucose Tolerance on Infant Birthweight in Latino Mother–Infant Pairs
Objectives. We assessed the influence of maternal anthropometric and metabolic variables, including glucose tolerance, on infant birthweight. Methods. In our prospective, population-based cohort study of 1041 Latino mother–infant pairs, we used standardized interviews, anthropometry, metabolic assays, and medical record reviews. We assessed relationships among maternal sociodemographic, prenatal care, anthropometric, and metabolic characteristics…
Missed Opportunities for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Screening Among Women With a History of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
Objectives. We sought to determine rates and factors associated with screening for type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus. Methods. We retrospectively studied women with diagnosed gestational diabetes mellitus who delivered at a university-affiliated hospital (n=570). Data sources included medical and administrative record review. Main outcome measures were the frequency of any type of glucose testi…
The Association Between Clinical Care Strategies and the Attenuation of Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Diabetes Care
OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether greater implementation of clinical care strategies in managed care is associated with attenuation of known racial/ethnic disparities in diabetes care. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Using cross-sectional data, we examined the quality of diabetes care as measured by frequencies of process delivery as well as medication management of intermediate outcomes, for 7426 black, Latinos, Asian/Pacific Islanders, and…
Glycemia and the Quality of Well-Being in Patients with Diabetes

Global Burden of Diabetes, 1995–2025
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of diabetes and the number of people with diabetes who are > or =20 years of age in all countries of the world for three points in time, i.e., the years 1995, 2000, and 2025, and to calculate additional parameters, such as sex ratio, urban-rural ratio, and the age structure of the diabetic population. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Age-specific diabetes prevalence estimates were applied to United Nations popula…
Strategies to improve the reporting of legal blindness in Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES: Registration practices were evaluated as the initial phase of a validation study of the Register of the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind. METHODS: Massachusetts eye care providers were surveyed to determine factors associated with nonreporting of legal blindness to the commission. RESULTS: Among ophthalmologists, factors associated with nonreporting were small practice size and practicing for 5 years or less in Massachusetts. Am…
Diabetes and renal mortality in the United States
The risk of renal death is examined in the United States population 15 years of age and older with and without diabetes. The renal mortality rate is 174.6 per 100,000 among people with diabetes and 42.5 per 100,000 among people without diabetes. The relative risk of renal mortality is 4.1 for diabetics, age-adjusted relative risk, 2.6. The risk of renal mortality is highest in young people with diabetes. Rates of renal mortality are higher than p…
