The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to find out the frequency of provisional diabetes recognized by physician and to explore the relationship orisk factors of hyper-glycemia and life style in a community diabetes screening program. Data were collected on November 14, 2002, ”The World Diabetes Day” in a hospital in northern part of Taiwan. A total number of 352 people who were over 20 years, not pregnant and agreed to attend this study were recruited. The results showed the frequency of provisional diabetes was higher in male, and the rate increased with age. The study revealed using chi square analysis, this significant differences of blood glucose levels in relation to gender, age, alcohol consumption, smoking, hypertension and family history of diabetes. Further more logistic regression analysis confirmed the significant correlation of blood glucose levels and risk factors in the order of family history of diabetes, hypertension, age and smoking. As to health promotion life style, there was negative correlation of blood glucose levels and the total or individual scores. That is, poor health promotion life style was associated with high blood glucose levels. Among those risk factors, the most important one was stress management (-0.463, p＜.001) followed by leisure exercises (-0.399, p＜.001). Therefore, we recommend the public are: pay more attention to self stress adaptation and do regular exercises to prevent diabetes.
