Abstract

OBJECTIVE Awareness of diabetes as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) may enhance uptake of screening for diabetes and primary prevention of CVD. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The American Heart Association conducted an online survey in 50 countries. The main outcome of this study was the proportion of individuals in each country who recognized diabetes as a CVD risk factor. We also examined variation by sex, age, geographic region, and country-level economic development. RESULTS Among 48,988 respondents, 15,747 (32.1%) identified diabetes as a major CVD risk factor. Awareness was similar among men and women, but increased with age, and was greater in high-income than in middle-income countries. CONCLUSIONS Two-thirds of adults in surveyed countries did not recognize diabetes as a major CVD risk factor. Given the increasing global burden of diabetes and CVD, this finding underscores the need for concerted efforts to raise public health awareness.

中高收入国家对糖尿病是心血管疾病主要风险因素的认识不足
目的 对糖尿病是心血管疾病(CVD)主要风险因素的认识可提高糖尿病筛查率和心血管疾病的一级预防率。研究设计与方法 美国心脏协会在 50 个国家进行了在线调查。本研究的主要结果是各国将糖尿病视为心血管疾病风险因素的人数比例。我们还研究了性别、年龄、地理区域和国家级经济发展水平的差异。结果 在 48,988 名受访者中,15,747 人(32.1%)认为糖尿病是心血管疾病的主要风险因素。男性和女性对糖尿病的认知度相似,但随着年龄的增长而增加,而且高收入国家的认知度高于中等收入国家。结论 在接受调查的国家中,三分之二的成年人不认为糖尿病是心血管疾病的主要风险因素。鉴于糖尿病和心血管疾病给全球造成的负担日益加重,这一发现突出表明有必要共同努力提高公众的健康意识。
