We got the Results following: 1. The prevalence of IGT and DM are 8.70% and 11.95% respectively. 2. 344 residents were diagnosed in this study, the new cases were 33.63% of all diabetics found in this study. 3.Among IGT group, 32.88% was with hypertension, 24.18% with lipid metabolism disorder, and 72.79% with obesity (including overweight). While in DM group, 42.35%, 34.39% and 72.70% respectively. 4.DM family history: Among IGT group, 18.25% got DM family history, while in DM was 33.96%. 5. As is shown in logistic Multi-element Regression Statistics Step By Step, the independent risk factors of IGT contain family history, BMI, WHR, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, age and smoking.In summary the prevalence of DM and IGT of Beijing has increased obviously compared with which in 1995-1997,it positive correlated with age. IGT and DM both have the genetic predisposition. Most of IGT and DM patients are accompanied with hypertension obesity and lipid metabolism disorder and obesity. It is vital for prevention of IGT and DM to control weight, blood pressure lipid and quit smoking.
