Abstract

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of pre-diabetes among outpatients visiting Hoc Mon General Hospital and its related factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 617 patients visiting the Outpatient Department, Hoc Mon General Hospital from April 2023 to July 2023. Fasting plasma glucose test and HbA1c test were performed to indicate the patient’s pre-diabetes status. Height, weight, waist, and hip circumference were measured by calibrated scales. The patient’s socio-economic information and other potential risk factors were collected by a standardized questionnaire and confirmed by medical records. Among participants, the prevalence of pre-diabetes was 25.6%. High triglyceride levels (PR: 1.2 [95% CI: 1.04 – 1.3], p-value: 0.009), having hypertension (PR: 1.7 [95% CI: 1.1 – 2.4], p-value: 0.009), and having a family history of diabetes (PR: 1.4 [95% CI: 1.02 – 2.2], p-value: 0.037) were significant risk factors for pre-diabetes. Blood sugar level and blood pressure monitoring, and annual health examination are recommended for early detection of pre-diabetes and for the prevention of type 2 diabetes development. Hospital’s health promotion programs focus on the importance of screenings and lifestyle changes are necessary to raise people’s awareness about pre-diabetes, thus helping effectively manage the disease.
