There are limited data on the prevalence of heart diseases in subjects with DM in Greece. In this study, we examined the prevalence of self-reported DM as well as cardiac and other main comorbidities in a representative sample of the adult Greek population. Methods: The target study population included 30,843 participants stratified by gender, age, and district, and this was a representative sample of the adult Greek population in 2010. A structured questionnaire was built to report the prevalence of self-reported DM and the main comorbidities in participants with and without DM. Collection of data was performed through telephone interviews. Results: The prevalence of self-reported DM was 6.6%. The prevalence of the main comorbidities in participants with DM vs. those without DM was as follows: heart diseases 24.0% vs. 8.9%, p<0.001; lung diseases 11.3% vs. 5.3%, p<0.001; kidney diseases 3.4% vs. 1.2%, p=0.001; liver diseases 1.4% vs. 0.7%, p=0.001; benign blood diseases 1.6% vs. 0.9%, p=0.005; and solid organ and/or blood malignancies 2.9% vs. 1.5%, p<0.001. Conclusions: The prevalence of self-reported DM in a representative sample of the adult Greek population in 2010 was 6.6%. The prevalence of heart diseases in subjects with DM was 2.7-fold higher than the prevalence in those without DM. Diseases of the lung, kidney, liver, and blood as well as malignancies were significantly more common among participants with DM.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1109966618300381Diabetes mellitusGeneral populationComorbiditiesPrevalenceHeart disease |
