Abstract:

Inadequate management of diabetes mellitus (DM) can lead to complications that affect quality of life. The prevalence of DM and its complications is increasing, presenting an uneven distribution in the population. The objective was to estimate the prevalence of complications due to DM and to assess inequalities in the Brazilian population. Cross-sectional study, with datathe National Health Survey (NHS), 2019. The complications evaluated were: diabetic coma, infarction/cerebrovascular accident/stroke; kidney problem; vision problem and foot ulcer or amputation. The exposures were schooling and income. The prevalence of complications was calculated separately, combination in pairs, presence of any complications and number of complications. Inequality was estimated through adjusted analysis and the indices: slope index (SII) and concentration index (CIX). The sample consisted of 6,317 people with DM. More than a third (37.8%) reported having some complication. Vision problems (30.6%) and kidney problems (9.7%) were the most prevalent. The prevalences of having “one” and “two or more” complications were 25.4% and 12.4%. Inequalities were evidenced with a higher prevalence of complications among the least educated and the poorest.
