The War on Diabetes campaign was launched in 2016, encouraging Singapore residents to engage in regular exercise, adopt healthy dietary habits and screen for early detection of diabetes. This study aims to examine campaign awareness and its associations with sedentary behaviour, dietary habits and identifying diabetes. Data were obtained from the nationwide Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices study on diabetes in Singapore. A total of 2895 participants responded to a single question assessing campaign awareness. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet screener assessed dietary habits, and the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) measured sedentary behaviour. Recognition of diabetes was established using a vignette depicting a person with diabetes mellitus. Logistic and linear regression models were used to measure the associations. Most participants were 18- to 34-years old (29.9%) and females (51.6%). About 57.4% identified the campaign. Campaign awareness exhibited positive associations with identifying diabetes based on the vignette [odds ratio (OR): 1.5; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.1–2.2; P = 0.022], lower odds of sedentary behaviour ≥7 h/day (OR: 0.7; CI: 0.5–0.9; P = 0.018) and higher DASH scores (β = 1.3; P < 0.001). The study recognized early significant associations between the behavioural outcomes and the campaign, emphasizing the need for ongoing campaign sustainability and evaluation of its long-term impact on population health.

公众对糖尿病宣战运动的认识及其与行为结果的关系

向糖尿病宣战运动于2016年发起，鼓励新加坡居民定期锻炼、养成健康的饮食习惯并筛查早期发现糖尿病。本研究旨在探讨运动意识及其与久坐行为、饮食习惯和糖尿病识别的关系。数据来自新加坡全国糖尿病知识、态度和实践研究。共有 2895 名参与者回答了一个评估活动意识的问题。控制高血压的饮食方法 (DASH) 饮食筛查仪评估饮食习惯，全球体育活动问卷 (GPAQ) 测量久坐行为。对糖尿病的识别是通过描绘糖尿病患者的小插图来建立的。使用逻辑回归模型和线性回归模型来衡量关联性。大多数参与者为 18 至 34 岁（29.9%）和女性（51.6%）。大约 57.4% 的人认同该活动。运动意识与根据小插图识别糖尿病呈正相关[比值比 (OR)：1.5；95%置信区间（CI）：1.1–2.2；P = 0.022]，每天久坐行为 ≥7 小时的几率较低（OR：0.7；CI：0.5–0.9；P = 0.018），DASH 评分较高（β = 1.3；P < 0.001）。该研究认识到行为结果与运动之间的早期显着关联，强调需要持续运动的可持续性并评估其对人口健康的长期影响。
