Data entry and statistical analysis were performed using SPSS17.0 software. Results: The prevalence of T2DM in Haikou City was 5.3% (5.15% for males and 5.46% for females). According to the multivariate analysis, the positive factors mainly associated with T2DM in the city included family history, Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR), triglycerides, low high-density lipoproteins (HDL), and blood pressure.
