Prevalence of smoking in Sudanese individuals with diabetes and associated complications: Population-based study.
Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome 2018 September
INTRODUCTION: Smoking cigarettes and diabetes are major public health problems in Sudan. Smoking is associated with insulin resistance and can be associated with type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of smoking in individuals with diabetes and associated complications.
METHODOLOGY: a descriptive analytical cross-sectional study, included 315 of participants with diabetes. The data collection was performed to gather demographic information, prevalence of smoking and presence of complications. In addition to measurement of blood pressure, weight and height measurement for calculation of body mass index and biochemical tests. Statistical association at p.value of 0.05 was measured using T-test for quantitative data and Chi square test for categorical data.
RESULTS: The overall prevalence of smoking was found to be 33.9%. Smoking was statistically significant associated with being male; increase in age; and being married. HbA1c and triglycerides are significantly associated with smoking (P value = 0.01 and 0.05 respectively); therefore, statistical significance was found with ischemic heart disease(IHD) as well (P value = 0.05). Hypertension, duration of diabetes, low density lipoprotein (LDL), cholesterol and body mass index (BMI) were not statistically significant with smoking.
CONCLUSION: Almost third of the population with diabetes are smokers (33.9%). Smoking is statistically associated with IHD, high triglyceride and HbA1c. Therefore, smoking cessation schemes should be advocated by health authorities and the public in Sudan.
