Currently, diabetes is the second most common non-communicable disease (NCD) in Ethiopia. Its burden is 4.8% in this country, even though three quarter of its population live with undiagnosed diabetes mellitus (DM), which causes complications like heart failure, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves damages. Early detection of DM is vital for a timely intervention to prevent these life threatening complications. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of undiagnosed DM and related factors in East Gojjam, North West Ethiopia, in 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"item abstract\"><em>Materials and methods.<\/em>\u00a0A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 757 individuals in East Gojjam from June to September 2016. The sampled population was selected using multi-stage cluster sampling method. Basic data were collected in Amharic (local language) and a pretested interviewer administered the questionnaire. Peripheral blood samples were collected by puncturing the ring finger in order to measure fasting blood glucose. Univarite and multivariate logistic regressions analysis were performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 20.0.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"item abstract\"><em>Results<\/em>. The percentage of undiagnosed DM in the study area was 11.5% (95%CI=9.2, 13.7). The prevalence was 11.3% among male vs. 11.8% among female; 13.4% in urban areas vs. 10.3% in rural areas. The occurrence of undiagnosed DM was mainly associated with older age (AOR=5.99, 95%CI=1.54, 23.24), family history of diabetes (AOR=9.86, 95%CI=4.25, 22.89), history of gestational diabetes (AOR=3.01, 95%CI=1.17, 8.39) and sedentary behaviour &gt;4 hours per day (AOR=2.13, 95%CI=1.04, 4.34). Being non-smoker (AOR=0.05, 95%CI=0.01, 0.17) and unmarried (AOR=0.09, 95%CI=0.02, 0.42) were also predictive characteristics for undiagnosed DM in the study area.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"item abstract\"><em>Conclusions<\/em>. In conclusion, this study revealed a relatively high prevalence of undiagnosed DM in the study area. The occurrence of undiagnosed DM was significantly higher when associated with the age of the participants, their marital status, history of hypertension, diabetes family history, history of gestational diabetes mellitus, current smoking practices and sedentary behaviour. Thus, efforts have to be made, particularly by the individuals involved in health practice, to early detect the disease and thereby initiate a suitable therapeutic service, before complications arise.<\/div>\n<div class=\"item downloads_chart\">\n<h3 class=\"label\">DOWNLOADS<\/h3>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4275\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jphres.us.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Download-3-1.png\" alt=\"Download (3)\" width=\"523\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jphres.us.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Download-3-1.png 523w, https:\/\/www.jphres.us.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Download-3-1-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 523px) 100vw, 523px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4081\/jphr.2017.834 Amsalu Taye Wondemagegn Department of Biomedical Science, School of Medicine, Debre Markos University, Ethiopia.
