Prevalence of diabetes mellitus and associated risk factors in nurcery and school personel in Croatia

Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the major public health problems, affecting 415 million adults worldwide. The prevalence of diagnosed diabetes in Croatian adults is 7.90%, while the total number is estimated to be over 400, 000. Promotion of healthy lifestyles is one of the key measures in primary prevention of diabetes, nursery and school personnel being important partners in education, and children’s role models from an early age. However, diabetes-related data on this subpopulation are still limited. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of diabetes and its main risk factors in teachers in Croatia. Material and methods: The study was a part of Diabetes Mellitus Screening Project conducted in in Zagreb, Croatia from 2010 until 2014. Age, sex, weight, height, waist and hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, fasting plasma glucose, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, BMI, and physical activity habits were determined, as well as personal and family history of diabetes. For the prediction of the probability of diabetes occurrence, multivariate logistic regression was performed. Results: A total of 7, 908 participants from 95 nursery schools, 118 elementary schools and 58 high schools were included, with average institutional response rates of 71.63%. Diabetes was found in 8.34% of men and 3.48% of women, half of whom had previously been diagnosed with the disease (47% of women and 54% of men). Additionally, 12.64% of men and 6.77% of women showed impaired fasting glucose values. Older age, male sex, higher BMI, physical inactivity, positive family history of diabetes (all p≤0.001) as well as high school employment in contrast to nursery school job (p=0.014) were found to be significant predictors of diabetes. Conclusions: Diabetes mellitus is still frequently unrecognised in Croatia, even in professionals who are expected to actively participate in health promotion and prevention among children. Common diabetes predictors were also observed this study, while high school employment needs to be further investigated. In order to improve teachers’ quality of life and the effectiveness of health education, wider inclusion of educational personnel in screening programmes, and targeted preventive measures in that population might be considered.
