Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS Y9qR0xGW. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. This study assessed the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes and associated characteristics among Puerto Rican adults in New York City, NY, with a random-digit-dialed telephone survey with a dual-frame sampling design. Overall, 11.3% (95% confidence interval=8.7%, 14.0%) had diagnosed diabetes ; diabetes was significantly related to age, obesity, and family history ; and the prevalence was high among those with the least education. This study showed the ability to obtain critically needed diabetes information from ethnic minorities at the local level. |
