Why the study?
Diabetes is a major public health issue among the elderly in China, where awareness and control rates have remained poor despite improvements.
Awareness and control of type 2 diabetes in the Chinese elderly population remain poor despite some improvements, highlighting the need for effective public health measures.
Persistent poor awareness and control in Chinese elderly warrants enhanced screening; cross-sectional data leaves open intervention efficacy for prospective studies.
Diabetes is an important public health problem in the elderly in China. The awareness and control rates have improved, but overall remained poor. Therefore, effective measures to raise awareness and control the rates of diabetes should be undertaken to circumvent the growing disease burden in elderly Chinese people.
