| 1 | Association between helminth infections and diabetes mellitus in adults from the Lao People’s Democratic Republic:a crosssectional study显示文摘Background:As a result of epidemiological transition,the health systems of low-and middle-income countries are increasingly faced with a dual disease burden of infectious diseases and emerging non-communicable diseases.Little is known about the mutual influence of these two disease groups.The aim of this study was to investigate the cooccurrence of helminth infections and diabetes mellitus in adults in Lao People’s Democratic Republic(Lao PDR).Methods:We conducted a cross-sectional study among 1600 randomly selected adults aged 35 and older from four different socio-economical and ecological provinces.Information on socio-demographics,risk factors and health conditions was obtained from personal interviews.Clinical assessments including anthropometry(height,weight,waist and hip circumference)and blood pressure measurements were also conducted.Diabetes was classified based on selfreported diagnoses and a point-of-care glycated haemoglobin(HbA1c)test from finger prick blood samples.Stool samples for helminth diagnosis were examined with formalin-ether concentration technique for intestinal parasitic infections.The independent associations of helminth infections with diabetic status and HbA1c were assessed using multiple regression analyses.Results:The prevalence of pre-diabetes and diabetes was 37.3%and 22.8%,respectively.Fifty-six percent of diabetic cases were undiagnosed and 85%of diagnosed diabetic cases had poor glycemic control.Participants from rural areas and from southern parts of the country had higher infection rates,with Opisthorchis viverrini,being the most common helminth infection(30.5%).We found a positive association between Taenia spp.infections and HbA1c(β=0.117;95%CI:0.042-0.200)and diabetes mellitus risk(OR=2.98;95%CI:1.10-8.05).No other helminth species was associated with glycated hemoglobin.Conclusions:Hyperglycaemia and diabetic rates in Lao PDR are alarmingly high,but consistent with other high rates in the region.Given the high rates of under-diagnosis and poorly-controlled glycaemia in diabetes mellitus patients,routine diabetes screening and treatment is essential for the local healthcare system.Large longitudinal cohorts integrating biomarkers are warranted in the search of causal diabetes mellitus risk factors in the region.Common intestinal helminth infections,including O.viverrini,are unlikely to explain the high diabetes mellitus rates observed. | Nan Shwe Nwe Htun Peter Odermatt Phimpha Paboriboune Somphou Sayasone Malisa Vongsakid Vilayouth Phimolsarn-Nusith Xuan Duong Tran Phoum-Savath Ounnavong Navalone Andriama-Hefasoa Nilun-Done Senvanpan Anousine Homsana Baocher Lianosay Dalouny Xayavong Dimbitsoa Rakotomalala Robinson Phaivanh Bounsavath Phoy-Phaylinh Prasayasith Seng-Davanh Syphan Yi-Xiao Lu Kanchana Thilakoun Xaipa-Song Xaiyaphet Phout-Tasin Vongngakesone Ikenna C Eze Medea Imboden Banchob Sripa Daniel Reinharz Nicole Probst-Hensch | 2018 | Infectious Diseases of Poverty2018，7，1： | 1 |
