Abstract

Cigarette smoking and diabetes were significantly more common among the Chinese population compared to the global average. Among the population as a whole, 34.17 percent smoke; in Guangdong Province, 34.08 percent do. As of today, diabetes affects more than 20.8% of China's population. By 2030, the world's population will have increased to 42,3 million. Two of China's most pressing public health concerns are the rising prevalence of tobacco use and the epidemic of diabetes. The association between cigarette smoking and diabetes in the Chinese population has only been the subject of a small number of case control studies (Ko GT. et al., Hong Kong) (Chan AM. and al, Jiangxi). More research is needed to determine the long-term effects of smoking exposure and the connection between smoking and other risk factors, but both studies found a link between cigarette smoking and diabetes, and the case-control study found a dose-response relationship between daily cigarette use and DM. The purpose of this research is to establish whether or not cigarette smoking contributes to the development of diabetes. Multiple studies have found a correlation between higher rates of cigarette smoking and an increased risk of developing diabetes.
