[A study on the risk factors of none-insulin-dependent type diabetes mellitus]

A 1:1 matched case-control study was conducted to investigate the risk factors for NIDDM in 1995. A total of 100 pairs of case and controls matched on sex, age and hopital of admission. Bivariate analysis revealed 7 factors significantly associated with NIDDM. Conditional logistic regression analysis showed that 3 of the 7 fectors: obesity, greasy and family history of diabetes were risk factors for NIDDM. That might play important roles in the etiology of NIDDM.
