Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the three most common chronic diseases worldwide. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) among patients with diabetes.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study was carried out on DM patients who visited King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH) between August 2021 and February 2022. We used the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) questionnaire to determine if the patients had DN. In addition, we used the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) to assess the level of physical activity (PA) in these DM patients.
RESULTS: A total of 336 patients consented to participate in the study. We found a DN prevalence of 23.8% amongst DM patients treated at the KAUH. In addition, the prevalence of DN amongst T1DM and T2DM patients was found to be 16% and 24.4%, respectively. Furthermore, we found that 65% of DM patients developed complications, with a significant correlation observed between the duration of DM and the development of complications. However, patient age and sex were non-statistically significantly correlated with the development of complications. Analysis of the GPAQ showed that among the 249 patients who completed the questionnaire, none had a high physical activity level, while 4% and 96% had moderate and low physical activity levels, respectively. No association was found between physical activity and patients\' age, sex, type of DM, duration of DM, and development of complications.
CONCLUSIONS: DN prevalence amongst DM patients treated at KAUH was 23.8%. The duration of diabetes was found to be a risk factor for DN. However, patient age and sex were non-statistically significantly associated with DN.

摘要：
背景：糖尿病（DM）是全球三大最常见的慢性疾病之一。这项研究旨在确定糖尿病患者中糖尿病多发性神经病（DPN）的患病率。
方法：这项横断面研究是对2021年8月至2022年2月在阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学医院（KAUH）就诊的DM患者进行的。我们使用密歇根神经病筛查仪（MNSI）问卷来确定患者是否患有DN。此外,我们使用全球体力活动问卷(GPAQ)评估这些DM患者的体力活动(PA)水平.
结果：共有336名患者同意参加本研究。我们发现在KAUH治疗的DM患者中DN患病率为23.8%。此外,发现T1DM和T2DM患者中DN的患病率分别为16％和24.4％，分别。此外，我们发现65%的DM患者出现并发症,观察到DM的持续时间与并发症的发展之间存在显着相关性。然而,患者年龄和性别与并发症的发生无统计学意义.GPAQ的分析表明，在完成问卷的249名患者中，没有人的体力活动水平很高，而4%和96%的人有中等和较低的体力活动水平，分别。没有发现身体活动和患者年龄之间的关联，性别,DM类型,DM的持续时间，和并发症的发展。
结论：接受KAUH治疗的DM患者的DN患病率为23.8%。发现糖尿病的持续时间是DN的危险因素。然而,患者年龄和性别与DN无统计学显著相关.
