title: [Epidemiology of adult diabetes mellitus in a population of Capital Iron and Steel Company in Beijing].
abstract: To prevent the development of DM in susceptible individuals, 29859 subjects, aged from 30 to 64 years, from 32 units of the Company were studied by using WHO protocal and diagnostic criteria. The results showed that the average prevalence of DM and IGT was 3.63% and 4.19% respectively, standardized by census 1990 in Beijing, and it was increased with age. No sex difference in the prevalence of DM was found, but the prevalence of IGT was higher in females (5.55%) than in males. The obesity, overweight, positive DM family history and giant baby history, as well as high daily intake of protein were closely related to the prevalence of the disease. Smoking was in effective.
