Abstract

Objective: To investigate the degree of association between the specific epidemiologic factors of diabetes in the Hail Region of Saudi Arabia. Methodology: The research is considered a case study using information from the King Salman Specialist Hospital in Hail Saudi Arabia. 5000 Medical reports and records were used in the retrospective cross-sectional study.

The t-test results had varied results for the differences in age, BMI, and diabetes treatment. Age differences had no significant impact on the prevalence of diabetes among males and females (t (4998) = -0.63, P > 0.05.
