The Oxford Community Diabetes Study: Evidence for an Increase in the Prevalence of Known Diabetes in Great Britain

A prevalence survey for known diabetes was conducted in a geographically defined population of nearly 40 100 in Oxford in April 1982. The age‐adjusted prevalence rate was 10.4/1000 which did not differ significantly from age‐adjusted rates of 9.5/1000 in Poole and 10.5/1000 in Southall. The prevalence increased with age and was higher in men than women over the age of 30 years. Our results confirm that there has been a change in the male to female sex ratio and suggest that there are about 500 000 diagnosed diabetics in England and Wales including about 190 000 insulin‐treated patients. These findings are consistent with a secular increase in the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes over the last two decades which has important implications for the planning and provision of resources for care.
