Résumé
Background
We assessed prediabetes-related knowledge, attitudes, and reported practices among adults with hypertension and abdominal obesity and examined whether their associations were compatible with a hypothesized KAP structure.
Methods
This cross-sectional questionnaire survey included 446 adults recruited from April to June 2025. A revision-stage coding audit corrected P5 scoring. Because P4 and P6 had near-zero, nonsignificant loadings, the primary practice construct comprised P1, P2, P3, and P5; full-item models were retained as sensitivity analyses. Spearman correlations and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used.
