Streszczenia
The increasing prevalence of pre-diabetes, a precursor to Type 2 diabetes mellitus, poses a significant global public health challenge, particularly in Afghanistan. This study examines the impact of dietary patterns on pre-diabetes among adults aged 30-70 years using a mixed-methods approach. Key dietary factors affecting glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity are analyzed, including meal frequency, refined carbohydrate intake, sugary beverages, and inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption. The findings underscore the importance of lifestyle modifications, such as balanced nutrition and physical activity, in preventing disease progression. Study design: A cross-sectional study design was utilized to assess the prevalence of pre-diabetes and its association with dietary habits and physical activity levels. Place and Duration of Study: This research was conducted among patients undergoing routine medical evaluations at Naderi Medical Complex Kandahar, Afghanistan a tertiary healthcare facility. Methodology: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted, and data was collected from participants whose demographics and health measurements were recorded. Descriptive statistics were calculated, including mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, range, median, interquartile range (IQR), skewness, and kurtosis, along with the 95% confidence interval (CI) for each variable. Results: The mean age of participants was 63.22 years (SD = 10.50), with a range from 30 to 70 years. The average height was 160.48 cm (SD = 7.99), and the average weight was 70.60 kg (SD = 14.99). The mean HbA1c was 5.99% (SD = 0.25), with a narrow range of 0.7%. Fasting glucose had a mean of 110.33 mg/dL (SD = 10.01), while postprandial blood sugar levels averaged 121.99 mg/dL (SD = 29.95). Most variables displayed slight negative skewness, suggesting a slight tendency toward lower values, except for weight and postprandial blood sugar, which were positively skewed. The data showed relatively normal distribution patterns with modest kurtosis. Conclusion: This study highlights key metabolic health insights, revealing an average HbA1c of 5.99%, with fasting glucose at 110.33 mg/dL and postprandial blood sugar at 128.98 mg/dL, suggesting a potential pre-diabetic range. Variability in weight and triglycerides indicates metabolic risk factors, while blood pressure and cholesterol remain within expected ranges but show individual variations. These findings underscore the need for regular monitoring to prevent metabolic disorders.
