Diabetes is the fifth cause of death in the world, accounting for 6.8% of all deaths in all ages. The spread and prevalence of this disease depends on factors such as genetic, behavioral, environmental and environmental factors. Various studies have shown that individuals with a history of diabetes have a high risk of developing the disease compared to those with type 2 diabetes.
Aim:To determine Familial aggregation and parenteral transmission of type 2 diabetes mellitus in Tabriz
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study 1000 diabetic patients were studied. The required information was collected through a questionnaire designed by the researcher. In this way, questions about type II diabetes mellitus, treatment and family were collected from the participants. The questionnaire was divided into three parts: underlying questions (demographic information), closed questions and questions. In the closed part of the questions, according to the information published in the scientific texts, the questions were answered, and in the open questions, the responses of the respondent were not questioned.
Results:The most prevalent type of transmission of type 2 diabetes was from mother to children (402 patients) (40.2%). Family accumulation of type II diabetes was also the most frequent in the brother with a frequency of 358 patients (35.8%) and children with a frequency of 309 patients (9.30%). Also, the lowest familial accumulation was related to the aunt's daughter with a frequency of 110 patients (11%) and an uncle's son with a frequency of 119 patients (11.11%).
