May inform rural T2DM screening priorities in Russia; leaves open causal drivers and needs prospective validation.
Cross-Sectional (n=26,620)
Yes
Absolute Event Rate: 6.7% vs 5%
p-value: p=0.001
Approximately 5.4% of adult Russians have T2DM, with about half being previously undiagnosed, highlighting a significant public health burden and the need for improved screening.
Дедов et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=26,620). Rural residence vs. Urban residence was evaluated on Prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (p=0.001). In a national cross-sectional study of 26,620 Russian adults, the overall prevalence of T2DM was 5.4%, and was significantly higher in rural compared to urban areas (6.7% vs. 5.0%, p=0.001).
