Abstract

Childbearing aged women, 15-49 years old have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). From over 60 million women worldwide, two out from five women with diabetes are in childbearing aged. This study aimed to determine factors associated with the risk of T2DM among childbearing age women. This was a cross-sectional study involving 83 childbearing age women in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). Socio-demographic characteristics, anthropometry data, and respondent history were obtained from self-administered questionnaire. Dietary intake and diabetes knowledge were assessed by using Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) and Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ-24) respectively. Diabetes risk score were determined and classified into low risk and high risk by using Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC). The mean age of the respondents was 37.65 ± 5.7 years old and majority of the respondents (n=62; 74.7%) had poor diabetes knowledge scores. A total of 13.2% of them were classified as high risk of having T2DM. BMI (r=0.61, p=0.00), waist circumference (r=0.61, p=0.00) and weight (r=0.63, p=0.00) were positively associated with the higher risk of having T2DM. Besides, having family history of diabetes mellitus (X2=14.31, p=o.oo) and hyperglycemia (X2=15.90, p=0.00) were also associated with a higher risk of T2DM development. Exceed the recommendation of energy intake (r=0.34, p=0.00), carbohydrate intake (r=0.25, p=0.02), protien intake (r=0.29, p=0.01) and fat intake (r=0.25, p=o.02) were found to be associated with the increasing risk of T2DM. The discovery of the factors should help the health care professionals to develop a proper management to reduce the prevalence of T2DM among childbearing age women.
