Abstract

The article presents results from a study aimed at determining the weight of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) type 1 among patients with endocrine pathologies and the prevalence of hypertension and sight complications in the Maputo Central Hospital (HCM). The research population consisted of 191 consecutive patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 who were observed during endocrinology consultation at the HCM and the Diabetic Mozambican Association, between March 2006 and March 2011. The statistical data was analyzed using SSPS for Windows 17.0. Results showed that DM type 1 represented about 10% of the DM observed cases at the HCM during the period in question. A relatively high prevalence of hypertension was also observed (9.9% systolic and 8.9% diastolic); different types of sight complications were observed in 14.7% of the patients. The study concluded that the main risk factors that cause HTA are age and the body mass index, while that main risk factors for sight complications are age and the duration of the pathology for diabetes retinopathy (p <.000) and the duration of the pathology for cataract (p <.001). the DM type 1 constitutes the most important endocrine  problem in the specialized consultations at the HCM and it shows a high rate of HTA and sight complications.
