title: [Prevalence of hyperglycemia and related factors among rural adults aged 35 years old and above in Yuhuan County, Zhejiang Province].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the prevalence of hyperglycemia among rural adults aged 35 years old and above in Yuhuan, China.
  
  
  METHODS
  A cross-sectional study was carried out as a baseline study of Rural Yuhuan Health Population Cohort in all communities in Yuhuan County, Zhejiang Province, China. A total of 125 479 subjects aged 35 years old or above participated in this study to collect the general demographics and measure hypertension, fast glucose and etc. In SPSS 16.0, non-conditional Logistic regression model was used for related factors analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Among 118 274 eligible subjects, the average fasting glucose was (5.4 ± 1.8) mmol/L and the average for men was higher than that for women. The crude prevalences of diabetes, impaired fasting glucose and hyperglycemia were 10.1%, 19.4% and 29.5%(the age and sex standardized one was 9.3%, 19.8% and 29.1%), respectively. There were significant gender differences in both the average level of fasting glucose and the prevalence of hyperglycemia (P < 0. 001). The prevalences of hyperglycemia varied statistically over different age groups from 19.9% in the lowest group of 35 - 39 years old to 36.4% in the highest group of 60 - 64 years old. In the non-conditional logistic regression model, age, sex, farmer, regular exercise, smoking, alcohol drinking and body mass index were related to hyperglycemia after the adjustment of other covariates.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Hyperglycemia was common in adults aged 35 years old and above living in rural China.
