Abstract

Objectives: Description of the current situation of type 2 diabetes in the elderly population in Can Gio district, Ho Chi Minh City, in 2024. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 315 elderly individuals in Can Gio District, Ho Chi Minh City, in January 2024. Results: The prevalence of diabetes was 24.4%, and pre-diabetes was 40.6%. There was a statistically significant association between diabetes and age group (p=0.006), living arrangements (p=0.017), family support (p=0.024), receiving nutritional advice (p=0.027), and having a personal diet plan (p=0.031). Conclusions: The high prevalence of diabetes reflects a concerning health issue among the elderly, particularly those with chronic conditions. Early identification of risk factors related to diabetes prevalence helps propose timely interventions, thereby reducing the prevalence and improving the quality of life for the elderly.
