Abstract
To estimate the prevalence and factors associated with type 2 Diabetes mellitus (DM2) in users of Primary Health Care (PHC). Cross-sectional study carried out from May to August 2019. The statistics comprised the calculation of the prevalence of DM2, and its 95% confidence interval (95% CI). To check the adjusted factors, gross and adjusted Prevalence Ratios (PR) were calculated. The sample consisted of 1,365 users, with a 9% prevalence of the outcome (CI95 8-11), which was higher among the elderly (PR = 2.21; CI95 1.50-3.26), hypertensive patients (PR = 3.02 ; CI95 1.90-4.81), with hypertriglyceridemia (PR = 2.38; CI95 1.67-3.38), polymedicates (PR = 2.91; CI95 1.82-4.67) and that did not practiced physical activity (PR = 1.71; CI95 1.04-2.79) and lower, among those who did not engage in paid activity (PR = 0.39; CI95 0.22-0.70) and with the habit of researching on health on the internet (PR = 0.51; 95% CI 0.30-0.88). Thus, the need to promote innovative actions with new forms of primary care is highlighted.
