Vietnamese immigrants in Australia represent the second largest Vietnamese community in developed countries, following the United States. However, limited information is available about prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and the relative roles of socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, and Vietnamese ethnicity per se in this population. This study investigated the prevalence of T2D and its risk factors in older Vietnam-born Australians, in comparison to native-born Australians. The study used baseline questionnaire data from 787 Vietnam- and 196,866 Australia-born individuals (≥45 years), who participated in the 45 and Up Study, which is Australia's largest population-based cohort study. Country of birth specific prevalence of T2D and its risk factors were age-standardised to the 2006 Australian population (≥45 years). Multivariable logistic regression models were built for each group to assess the relationship between T2D and socio-demographic characteristics, family history of diabetes, lifestyle factors and health status. Compared to Australia-born counterparts, Vietnam-born individuals had significantly (p < 0.001) higher age-standardised prevalence of T2D (14.7 vs 7.4 %) and significantly (p < 0.001) lower levels of vegetable consumption (≥5 serves\/day, 19.4 vs 33.5 %), physical activity (≥5 sessions\/week, 68.7 vs 78.5 %) and overweight and obesity (body mass index ≥25 kg\/m², 21.5 vs 62.7 %). The increased risk of T2D associated with a family history of diabetes for Vietnam-born people [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 7.14, 95 % CI 4.15-12.28] was almost double that for Australia-born people (OR 3.77, 95 % CI 3.63-3.90). The patterns of association between T2D and other factors were similar between the two groups. The findings suggest a genetic predisposition to T2D in people of Vietnamese ethnicity. Reducing lifestyle risk factors for diabetes and better management of diabetes are priorities for Vietnam-born populations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","mots_cles":[],"class_list":["post-60821","resume","type-resume","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"adresse":"Centre for Health Research, School of Medicine, University of Western Sydney, Building 3, Campbelltown Campus, Locked Bag 1797, Penrith, NSW, 2751, Australia, D.Tran@uws.edu.au.","annee":"2014","mois":"2","numero":"39:1","page":"99-107","auteurs":[{"ID":60817,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-04 08:46:32","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-04 07:46:32","post_content":"","post_title":"Duong Thuy Tran","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"duong-thuy-tran","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-04 08:46:32","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-04 07:46:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/duong-thuy-tran\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":60818,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-04 08:46:33","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-04 07:46:33","post_content":"","post_title":"Maree Johnson","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"maree-johnson","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-04 08:46:33","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-04 07:46:33","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/maree-johnson\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":60819,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-04 08:46:33","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-04 07:46:33","post_content":"","post_title":"Hilary Bambrick","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hilary-bambrick","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-04 08:46:33","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-04 07:46:33","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/hilary-bambrick\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":60820,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-04 08:46:34","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-04 07:46:34","post_content":"","post_title":"Sanja Lujic","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"sanja-lujic","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-04 08:46:34","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-04 07:46:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/sanja-lujic\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":41858,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-04 02:39:37","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-04 01:39:37","post_content":"","post_title":"Louisa R Jorm","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"louisa-r-jorm","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-04 02:39:37","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-04 01:39:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/louisa-r-jorm\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"sources":[{"ID":6484,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 17:38:49","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 16:38:49","post_content":"","post_title":"Journal of community health","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"journal-of-community-health","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 17:38:49","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 16:38:49","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/source\/journal-of-community-health\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"source","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}]},"yoast_head":"\n
