Abstract

This cross-sectional analytical research aimed to assess the level of pre diabetes mellitus and determine the factors associated with pre- diabetes mellitus among working populations having relatives with diabetes. The total of 337 working populations having relatives with diabetes were selected by stratified random sampling method. Data were collected via questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple logistics regression, the adjusted odds ratio presented, 95% confidence interval and p-value at 0.05 level of significance. The results revealed that those workers who had a pre diabetes mellitus 24.63% (95%CI= 20.30-29.53), had health literacy in preventing diabetes at the adequate and excellent level, 73.29% and had diabetes preventive behaviors at moderate level, 42.73%. Factors associated with pre diabetes mellitus (p–value<0.05) were age 45 years or more (Adj.OR=4.39; 95% CI: 2.11 to 9.10; p-value<0.001), health literacy on access to information  (Adj.OR=2.41 ; 95% CI: 1.05 to 5.49 ; p-value=0.036), health literacy on understanding (Adj.OR=5.92 ; 95% CI: 2.80 to 12.47; p-value <0.001), health literacy on appraising (Adj.OR=5.39 ; 95% CI: 2.33 to 12.42 ; p-value <0.001) and diabetes preventive behavior. (Adj.OR=4.41; 95% CI: 1.77 to 11.00 ; p-value=0.001). Therefore the stakeholders should recognize the significance of promoting in the health literacy on access to information, understanding, appraising and diabetes preventive behavior to good level with working populations having relatives with diabetes.
