Overview

Cross-sectional analysis reveals low T2DM screening rates in Peru, highlighting key risk factors like education and health insurance.

Key Points

  • Only 25.3% of eligible individuals were screened for type 2 diabetes mellitus in Peru, highlighting significant public health challenges.
  • Key factors associated with lack of screening included young age (18-34), low education level, no health insurance, low wealth status, and daily smoking.
  • Bivariate and multivariate analyses helped estimate prevalence ratios for screening across identified risk groups in the study.
  • Targeted interventions are essential to improve screening coverage, particularly in vulnerable populations with higher non-screening rates.
