Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="UY06A820 UY06A821 UY06A822 UY06A823"><span class="em">MS9. Do you have any of the following illnesses?</span><br /><br />With this question it is hoped to reduce the incidence of three illnesses of important prevalence in the population, often detected when they have existed for a long period of time. This is marked "Yes" or "No" for each one of the illness according to what corresponds.<br /><br />In the case of diabetes it refers to the Mellitus diabetes, an illness produced by an alteration of metabolism of carbohydrates in which an excessive quantity of sugar appears in the blood and urine. This affects 1 to 2 percent of the population, even though 50 percent of the cases aren't detected. Two forms of Mellitus diabetes are distinguished: Type I, or insulin-dependent Mellitus diabetes, also denominated juvenile diabetes, affects children and adolescents, and is believed to be produced by an autoimmune mechanism. This constitutes 10 to 15 percent of the cases and evolves quickly. Type II, or non-insulin-dependent Mellitus diabetes, or adult diabetes, tends to appear in people older than 40 years and evolves slowly. Many times it doesn't produce symptoms and the diagnostic is made because of the elevated levels of glucose in an analysis of blood and urine.<br /></svar>
