[Incidence of glycosuria among the population of different age groups living in Andizhan and in the Andizhan district].
A total of 10330 persons, residents of the town of Andizhan (5292 persons) and of the rural districts of the Andizhan region (5038 persons) were examined for glucosuria; it was revealed in 306 persons (2.9%), somewhat more frequently in the urban than in the rural residents (3.1 and 2.8%, respectively); glucosuria was more incident in women than in men (3.3 and 2.4%, respectively); it was more frequently encountered in persons of older age groups than in young individuals (0.6--2.8% in persons aged under 30 years, and in 5.1--6.3% in persons aged from 30 to 70 years and older). Diabetic glycemic curves were found in 122 of 306 persons with glucosuria (39.8%); these curves were suspicious for diabetes mellitus in 63 persons (20.5%). Only in one of 149 persons (0.67%) of the control group without glucosuria was a diabetic curve revealed. The incidence of diabetic glycemic curves increased in persons with glucosuria with the advance of age (13.3% at the age of 10--19 years, and 68.4% at the age of 70 years and older). The authors recommend mass examination of the population for glucosuria by means of the glucose tolerance test for a more complete and timely diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. This is particularly expedient in case of persons of older age groups.
