摘要：目的：糖尿病导致了当代世界性的经济负担。人们习惯称糖尿病为“富贵病”，但是各种研究在糖尿病与社会经济地位(SES)的关系上得出的结论并不一致。对这些结论背后隐藏的规律进行探索，并建立起二者的大致关系模型。方法：综述。结论：糖尿病发病率呈分列SES阈限上、阈限中和阈限下的三种分布。性别和应激等因素在糖尿病的发病和病程中都有某些作用。Adler et al.(2003)所提出的范式有待改进。国际经济、社会文化等因素的影响应该受到更多的重视。未来发展：今后的研究应对SES的跨文化、跨区域意义进行描述，并建立多因素数学病因模型。

    Abstract:Objective:diabetes, which is familiar as “rich men disease” by Chinese people, causes worldwide economic pressure in human life today. The relationship between diabetes and socioeconomic status (SES), however, is not consistence according to different studies. To explore the underlying regulations and to establish a general model. Methods: to review. Conclusion:diabetes incidence distributes in different manners above, within and below an SES threshold. Factors like gender and stress play some role both in diabetes occurrence and process. The paradigm from Adler et al. (2003) is uncompleted. The Functions of socioeconomic and cultural factors are to be concerned. Future development:the meanings of SES should be clarified and categorized in a cross-cultural and -area perspective, and a multi-factor mathematical model is needed. ......
