[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST R0xR8F74. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objective-To establish the relation between socioeconomic status and the age-sex specific prevalence oftype 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The hypothesis was that prevalence of type 2 diabetes would be inversely related to socioeconomic status but there would be no association with the prevalence of type 1 diabetes and socioeconomic status. Setting-Middlesbrough and East Cleveland, United Kingdom, district population 287 157. Patients-4313 persons with diabetes identified from primary care and hospital records. Results-The overall age adjusted prevalence was 15.60 per 1000 population. There was a significant trend between the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and quintile of deprivation score in men and women (X2 for linear trend, p<0.001). In men the prevalence in the least deprived quintile was 13.4 per 1000 (95% confidence intervals (95% CI) 11.44,15.36) compared with 17.22 per 1000 (95% CI 15.51,18.92) in the most deprived. For women the prevalence was 10.84 per 1000 (95% CI 9.00,12.69) compared with 15.48 per 1000 (95% CI 13.84,17.11) in the most deprived. The increased prevalence of diabetes in the most deprived areas was accounted for by increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the age band 40-69 years. There was no association between the prevalence of type 1 diabetes and socioeconomic status. Conclusion-These data confirm an inverse association between socioeconomic status and the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the middle years of life. (...)
