Results: Responses were obtained from 4624 (42%) households comprising 8208 males and females aged 18 yearsor older and 7847 self-described Caucasian participants (7708 with complete information). The overallage-standardized diabetes prevalence for the latter was 6.35% but people whose primary residence was on farmshad significantly lower diabetes prevalence than those living in non-farm locations (5.11% versus 7.33% respectively;p<0.0001). Diabetes risk increased with age and affected almost 17% of those older than 65 (OR 2.57; CI0 1.63, 4.04compared to those aged 18–45). Other known independent risk factors included family history of diabetes (OR 2.50[CI0s 1.94, 3.23] if father; OR 3.11 [CI0s 2.44, 3.98] if mother), obesity (OR 2.66; CI0s 1.86, 3.78), as well as lowersocioeconomic status, minimal/no alcohol intake and smoking. The most original finding was that exposure toinsecticides conferred an increased risk for diabetes among males (OR 1.83; CI0s 1.15, 2.91). Finally, theco-morbidities with the strongest independent association with diabetes were heart disease and hypertension.
