Genetic Variation and Cardiovascular Risk Factors
Resettlers are a large migrant group of more than 2 million people in Germany who migrated mainly from the former Soviet Union to Germany after 1989. We sought to compare the distribution of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and to investigate the overall genetic differences in a study population which consisted of resettlers and native (autochthone) Germans. This was a joint analysis of two cohort studies which were perform…
Cardiovascular disease prevalence in type 2 diabetes – an analysis of a large German statutory health insurance database
The results underline the need for a population-based registration of cardiovascular complications in T2D
The effect of retirement on biomedical and behavioral risk factors for cardiovascular and metabolic disease
Retirement is a major life event potentially associated with changes in relevant risk factors for cardiovascular and metabolic conditions. This study analyzes the effect of retirement on behavioral and biomedical risk factors for chronic disease, together with subjective health parameters using Southern German epidemiological data. We used panel data from the KORA cohort study, consisting of 11,168 observations for individuals 45-80 years old. Ou…
Regional differences of macrovascular disease in Northeast and South Germany
This study provides an indication for regional differences in macrovascular disease, which is not explained by traditional risk factors. Further examinations of other risk factors, such as regional deprivation or geographical variations in medical care services are needed
Depression risk in patients with late-onset rheumatoid arthritis in Germany
Longitudinal changes in health-related quality of life in normal glucose tolerance, prediabetes and type 2 diabetes
Regional differences in the incidence of self-reported type 2 diabetes in Germany
BACKGROUND: Population-based data are paramount to investigate the long-term course of diabetes, for planning in healthcare and to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of primary prevention. We analysed regional differences in the incidence of self-reported type 2 diabetes mellitus in Germany. METHODS: Data of participants (baseline age 45-74 years) from five regional population-based studies conducted between 1997 and 2010 were included (mean follow-…
Prediabetes
P2-269 Regional differences in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus
Introduction In Germany, regional data on the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are lacking for use in healthcare planning. We analysed regional differences in the prevalence of T2DM and treatment with antidiabetic agents. Methods Data from five regional population-based studies and the German National Health Interview and Examination Survey (GNHIES98) conducted between 1997 and 2006 were analysed. Estimates of self-reported diabetes,…
Socioeconomic status is not associated with type 2 diabetes incidence in an elderly population in Germany
BACKGROUND: An association between socioeconomic status (SES) and the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been found for younger and middle-aged individuals, but studies of this relationship in elderly populations are rare. METHODS: In a population-based cohort in southern Germany (KORA S4/F4: 1223 subjects aged 55-74 years at baseline, 887 subjects (73%) in the follow-up 7 years later) the identification of incident T2DM was based o…
Blood glucose testing and primary prevention of diabetes mellitus type 2 - evaluation of the effect of evidence based patient information
Current Controlled Trial: ISRCTN22060616
Trends in Hospitalization and Sociodemographic Factors in Diabetic and Nondiabetic Populations in Germany
Objectives. We examined time trends of hospitalization, a main outcome measure in health care, in the diabetic and nondiabetic populations in Germany and their associations with sociodemographic variables. Methods. Using data from 2 national health surveys, we estimated hospital days per person-year in the diabetic and nondiabetic populations in 1998 (n=5422) and 1990–1992 (n=7363) in Germany. We used Poisson regression to estimate relative risks…
