ABSTRACT
Introduction : The Cardiovascular mortality in Diabetics is 2-4 times higher than in Non-diabetic population. But there is still controversy regarding Pre-diabetes (IFG and IGT) as a Cardiovascular Risk Factor. Aims and Objectives : In this study we aimed to investigate the early in-hospital mortality among Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) patients having Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) during the first 7 days of hospitalization. Materials and Methods: A total of 150 AMI patients were evaluated and followed up for their glycemic status and early in hospital mortality (first 7 days) at Burdwan Medical College, Burdwan, West Bengal. Result and Analysis: Mortality in patients having IFG (18%) was higher and as much as in DM (20%) compared to euglycemic (4%) patients but the mortality is not correlated with mean Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) level. Conclusion : IFG (ie, pre-diabetes) increases Cardiovascular mortality as much as diabetes. So, IFG may be a marker or risk factor for mortality but lowering FPG in AMI patients is unlikely to yield beneficial effect regarding mortality.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES@#To investigate the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) among Uygur children in Hotan Prefecture of Xinjiang, China, as well as the factors influencing the development of DM.@*METHODS@#The cluster random sampling method was used to select 5 308 children, aged 4-18 years, from the middle and primary schools and kindergartens in Hotan Prefecture of Xinjiang. The survey methods included questionnaire survey and the measurement of height and weight. All subjects were tested for fasting fingertip blood glucose to investigate the prevalence of DM and impaired fasting glucose (IFG).@*RESULTS@#A total of 5 184 valid questionnaires were collected. Fourteen children (0.27%) were found to have DM, among whom 8 had type 1 DM, 2 had type 2 DM, and 4 had unclassified DM. Twenty-nine children (0.56%) were found to have IFG. There was no significant difference in the prevalence rate of DM and IFG between boys and girls (P>0.05). The prevalence rate of DM was 0.18% in the 4-<10 years group, 0.47% in the 10-<15 years group, and 0.07% in the 15-18 years group (P=0.072).The prevalence rate of IFG in the above three age groups was 0.18%, 0.94%, and 0.42%, respectively, with a significant difference among groups (P=0.007). The proportion of family history of DM and the proportion of overweight/obesity in children with DM were significantly higher than those in children without DM (P<0.05), while the proportion of children with DM who preferred coarse grains was significantly lower than that in children without DM (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#The prevalence of DM and IFG in Uyghur children in Hotan Prefecture of Xinjiang is relatively low. There is no significant difference in the prevalence of DM among children of different genders or age groups, but the prevalence of IFG in children of different age groups is different. A family history of DM, overweight or obesity, and low intake of coarse grains might be associated with the development of DM.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between physical indicators and blood pressure or fasting plasma glucose levels in the young-old and oldest-old.Methods:Totally 1 516 subjects from the Guangxi Natural Longevity Cohort were screened in this study and physical examination parameters included body mass index(BMI), waist circumference(WC), waist-to-height ratio(WHtR), fasting plasma glucose(FPG)and blood pressure, and the correlations between them were analyzed.Results:The overweight elderly and overweight young elderly groups had an increased risk of concurrent hypertension and impaired fasting glucose, compared with both elderly people with normal BMI and young elderly people with normal BMI( OR=2.66, 95% CI: 1.90-3.72; OR=3.03, 95% CI: 2.11-4.34). Elderly people with general obesity and young elderly people with general obesity were more likely to have hypertension( OR=5.25, 95% CI: 2.07-13.28; OR=4.75, 95% CI: 1.84-12.21), impaired fasting glucose( OR=2.95, 95% CI: 1.00-8.69; OR=3.06, 95% CI: 1.04-9.02), and concurrent hypertension and impaired fasting glucose( OR=7.94, 95% CI: 3.04-20.72; OR=8.68, 95% CI: 3.28-22.94), whereas underweight young elderly had a reduced risk of hypertension( OR=0.27, 95% CI: 0.09-0.80). Elderly people in the central obesity group(WC)showed increased risk of hypertension( OR=1.39, 95% CI: 1.04-1.84)and concurrent hypertension and impaired fasting glucose( OR=2.39, 95% CI: 1.75-3.27), compared with those in the non-central obesity group.Young elderly people with central obesity had increased risk of hypertension( OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.07-2.00), impaired fasting glucose( OR=1.62, 95% CI: 1.14-2.28), and concurrent hypertension and impaired fasting glucose( OR=3.03, 95% CI: 2.13-4.32); both elderly people and young elderly people in the central obesity group(WHtR)had increased risk of hypertension( OR=1.35, 95% CI: 1.03-1.76; OR=1.55, 95% CI: 1.13-2.14), impaired fasting glucose( OR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.04-1.94; OR=1.62, 95% CI: 1.13-2.31), and concurrent hypertension and impaired fasting glucose( OR=2.20, 95% CI: 1.60-3.02; OR=3.22, 95% CI: 2.14-4.84). In the elderly group, BMI was correlated with diastolic blood pressure and WHtR was correlated with the fasting blood glucose level. Conclusions:The levels of fasting plasma glucose and blood pressure increase with elevated physical indicator values(BMI, WC, WHtR)in the Guangxi elderly population, and the risk of developing hypertension, impaired fasting glucose, and concurrent hypertension and impaired fasting glucose increases in elderly patients with general obesity and central obesity, with a higher risk in low-aged elderly patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the correlation between different serum uric acid (SUA) levels and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in adults.Methods:From March 2019 to February 2020, 5006 adults in Wuxi area of Taihu Sanatorium in Jiangsu Province were selected as subjects. Quintile method was divided into the following five groups: Q1: SUA<270 μmol/L, Q2: 270 μmol/L SUA 318 μmol/L or less, Q3: 319 μmol/L ≤SUA≤360 μmol/L, Q4: 361 μmol/L SUA 410 μmol/L or less, and Q5: SUA>410 μmol/L. Correlation was analyzed by logistic analysis, with IFG as the outcome index, five SUA groups as the observation index, and gender, age, body mass index (BMI), blood lipid, and blood pressure as confounding factors. Three logistic regression analysis models were constructed to explore the relationship between different SUA level groups and IFG risk, as well as the influence of BMI on the risk correlation between SUA and IFG.Results:The BMI, DBP, FPG, TC, TG, and LDL-C all increased with the increase in SUA level; however, HDL-C gradually decreased with the increase in SUA level (P<0.01). The SUA levels among the five groups were positively correlated with fasting blood glucose level in the IFG group ( r=0.589, P<0.001). After adjusting for age, sex, and BMI, SUA level was strongly associated with fasting glucose in the IFG group ( r=0.534, P<0.001). After further adjustment for blood lipid and blood pressure, the correlation persisted ( r=0.523, P<0.001). With Q1 as the control group, the calculated OR values of IFG risk were 1.199, 2.660, 2.784 and 3.629, respectively. After further adjustment for various confounding factors, the calculated OR values of each group were 1.130, 2.389, 2.350 and 2.895, respectively. The IFG risk in the group with SUA level in the corresponding Q2 and Q5 groups was 1.13 times and 2.90 times higher, respectively, than that in the normal group, indicating that with the increase in SUA level, the IFG risk in the population increased. With the increase in BMI and SUA levels after BMI stratification, the mean fasting glucose level increased ( P<0.001). Conclusion:The SUA level and IFG risk are closely related. Increased SUA level increases IFG risk, and SUA and IFG are associated with weight gain, which should be paid attention to.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the association of hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype ( HTGW ) with impaired fasting glucose ( IFG ) and diabetes, so as to provide reference for the early prevention and control of diabetes.@*Methods@# The survey was conducted among 35 to 75-year-old residents in 8 project sites in Jiangsu Province from 2015 to 2019. The information about demography and lifestyle was collected by the general information questionnaire and the primary screening questionnaire from the National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases; waist circumference, height, weight, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol and fasting plasma glucose were measured. The multinomial logistic regression model was employed to analyze the association of HTGW with IFG and diabetes.@*Results@#A total of 118 383 subjects were included, among whom 21 851 cases of HTGW, 27 245 cases of IFG and 22 899 cases of diabetes were identified, with the prevalence of 18.46%, 23.01% and 19.34%. The multinomial logistic regression analysis showed HTGW was statistically associated with IFG ( OR=1.414, 95%CI: 1.343-1.489 ) and diabetes ( OR=2.216, 95%CI: 2.098-2.341 ).@*Conclusion@# HTGW is associated with IFG and diabetes, which make it possible to be an indicator for screening and assessment of glucose abnormality in middle-aged and elderly population.
ABSTRACT
Background: Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) is a pre-stage to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in adults and generally in obese population. In different studies this occurrence varied significantly, but the true prevalence is unknown due to lack of larger representative cohort studies. Authors objectives was to study the prevalence of IFG in different grades of obesity.Methods: One hundred obese subjects of obesity Grade1 (BMI >25 kg/m2 but <30) and Grade 2 (BMI >30 kg/m2) were studied at Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal from April 2019 to June 2019. Physical examination, blood investigations including fasting blood glucose and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was carried out for all the patients.Results: Out of 100 subjects, 18(9%) males and 18(9%) females had IFG. Among male subjects highest IFG was recorded in the age group of 60+ years and in the weight rage of 71 to 80 kg. In female subjects, highest prevalence was in the age group 51 to 60 years and in weight range of 51-60 kg. Out of 24 males and 34 female of with Grade 1 obesity, 7% and 10.4% had IFG similarly, out of 25 males and 17 females with grade 2 obesity, 11% and 7.6% had IFG.Conclusions: IFG is highly prevalent in different grades of obesity. Obesity is the risk factor for the development of diabetes.

ABSTRACT
RESUMEN Objetivos Analizar: 1) el perfil lipídico en personas con glucemia de ayunas alterada (GAA) y 2) su posible asociación con parámetros clínico-metabólicos. Material y métodos Se reclutaron 101 personas de ambos sexos asistentes a consultorios de la Carrera Universitaria de Medicina Interna UNLP, incluyéndose personas >15 años que firmaron consentimiento informado para participar en el estudio; se excluyeron aquellos tratados con fármacos que afectaran el metabolismo lipídico y con diabetes tipo 2. En ellos se registraron antecedentes personales, heredofamiliares, hábitos de vida y ocurrencia de eventos cardiovasculares previos, índice de masa corporal (IMC), circunferencia de cintura (CC) y tensión arterial. En muestras de sangre se determinó glucemia, HbA1c y perfil lipídico; en la mayoría se agregó insulinemia e índice HOMA-IR. La evaluación estadística incluyó ANOVA y test de Tukey, considerándose significativas diferencias con valor de p ≤0,05. Resultados: 67,32% de los participantes presentaron glucemias ≤100 mg/dl (grupo control) y el 32,67% disglucemias compatibles con el estado de GAA. La edad promedio, el IMC y la CC, los valores de HbA1c, insulina y HOMA-IR al igual que el porcentaje de personas con hipertensión arterial fueron significativamente mayores en este último grupo. Los valores del perfil lipídico registrados fueron mayores en el grupo de GAA excepto el c-HDL en el que fueron menores. Conclusión La dislipemia presente en personas con GAA sería simultáneamente un marcador de ateroesclerosis obliterante y un promotor de la transición a DT2, por lo que requiere su diagnóstico y tratamiento precoz.
ABSTRACT Aims To analyze: 1) the lipid profile in people with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and 2) its potential association with clinical and metabolic parameters. Materials and methods: 101 people were recruited from those attending the University of Internal Medicine UNLP clinic, including people of both sexes, >15 years who sign informed consent to participate in the study; those treated with drugs that affect lipid metabolism and with type 2 diabetes were excluded. In all of them had we recoded body mass index (BMI), abdominal circumference (AC) and blood pressure. Their personal history, inherited relatives, life habits and occurrence of cardiovascular events were also recorded. In their blood samples, blood glucose, HbA1c and lipid profile were measured as well as insulin and HOMA-IR index in most of them. Statistical evaluation included ANOVA and Tukey's test; significant differences were considered when their p value was ≤0.05. Results 67.32% of the participants presented glycemias ≤100 mg/dl (control group) and 32.67% values compatible with IFG status. Mean age, BMI and WC, HbA1c, insulin and HOMA-IR values, as well as the percentage of people with hypertension, were significantly higher in the latter group. The values of the lipid profile recorded were higher in the GAA group except the HDL-c in which they were lower. Conclusion Since the dyslipidemia present in people with IFG would simultaneously be a marker of atherosclerosis obliterans and a promoter of the transition to DT2, it requires its early diagnosis and treatment.

Renal sodium-glucose co-transport 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) can reduce fasting plasma glucose (FPG) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus,but its effect on FPG and β-cell function in impaired fasting glucose (IFG) is unclear. The current article is the Chinses translation of an article entitled as"Inhibition of Renal Sodium-Glucose Co-Transport with Empagliflozin Lowers Fasting Plasma Glucose and Improves Beta Cell Function in Subjects With Impaired Fasting Glucose",which was published in "Diabetes" in September [Diabetes, 2017, 66:2495-2502],with the consent of"Diabetes". Eight subjects with IFG and eight subjects with normal FPG(NFG) were included in the study. 9-stage high glucose clamp test was done before and 48 hours,14 days after taking empagliflozin to quantitatively evaluate the effect of FPG reduction on islet β-cell function. The results showed that FPG concentration decreased only in IFG subjects from(110 ± 2)to(103 ± 3)mg/dl(P<0.01)after taking empagliflozin for 14 days,but the FPG remained unchanged[(95 ± 2) to(94 ± 2) mg/dl] in NFG subjects. The incremental area under the plasma C-peptide concentration curve during the hyperglycemic clamp increased by 22% ± 4% and 23% ± 4% in IFG subjects after 48 hours and 14 days,respectively(P<0.01);the plasma C-peptide response remained unchanged in NFG subjects. The insulin secretion/insulin sensitivity(disposition) index increased significantly in IFG,but not in NFG subjects. In conclusion,empagliflozin only reduces the FPG concentration and improves β-cell function in IFG.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the relationship between menopausal status at different FPG levels and the risk of new onset of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).@*Methods@#Female subjects were selected from the females who joined in the epidemiological survey between May and September in 2009 in six counties of Guanlin Village and Xushe Village in Yixing City in Jiangsu Province by cluster sampling method. Subjects with diabetes at baseline or pre-menopause with age above 65 years old or surgical menopause were excluded. Finally there were 2 084 eligible subjects included in this study. According to FPG at baseline, subjects were categorized into two groups as normal FPG group (FPG<5.6 mmol/L) and IFG group (5.6≤FPG≤6.9 mmol/L). Follow-up study was conducted from May in 2014 to January in 2016. Cox regression model was used to investigate the association between menopausal factors and IFG and T2DM among groups based on FPG.@*Results@#The average age of subjects at baseline was 58.08 (51.74-65.82) years old, and the number of post-menopausal women was 1 631 (78.3%). The number of subjects in normal FPG group was 1 569 (75.3%), and in IFG group was 515 (24.7%). There were 104 subjects with new onset T2DM among which 34 subjects from normal FPG group and 70 subjects from IFG group. And there were 199 subjects with new onset IFG in normal FPG group. Among subjects with normal FPG, the incidence density of IFG in post-menopausal women (2 752/100 000 person-years) was statistically higher than that in premenopausal women (1 670/100 000 person-years) (P<0.001). After age and BMI adjusted, post-menopausal women had a higher risk of having IFG in normal FPG subjects with hazard ratio (HR) at 2.60 (P<0.001). Among subjects with normal FPG, the risk of new onset IFG decreased in post-menopausal women with menopause age increasing after age and BMI adjusted, with HR at 0.96 (P=0.046). No statistical association was found between menopausal factors and risk of T2DM either in the overall subjects or in the subgroups(P>0.05).@*Conclusion@#Menopause can increase the risk of IFG incidence in subjects with normal FPG. The incidence of IFG decreases with the menopause age increasing.

ABSTRACT
Introduction@#Previous studies have shown conflicting results on the efficacy of okra on lowering blood sugar levels. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of okra in decreasing blood sugar among patients with impaired fasting glucose.@*Methods @#This was a randomized double-blind trial among patients with impaired fasting blood glucose from three clinics in Antipolo City. Potential subjects were identified from records of the three clinics, recruited and screened using the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) and fasting blood sugar (FBS). Eligible patients were randomly assigned to receive okra or placebo capsules twice daily for one month. The blood sugar after 30 days was compared with the baseline and the difference between the okra and placebo groups was compared.@*Results @#There was a significant difference between the pre-treatment and post-treatment FBS levels, respectively, of both the okra and placebo groups (p-value <0.01). However, the difference between the mean difference of the okra and placebo groups was not significant (p = 0.06).@*Conclusion @#The present study showed that okra capsules are not efficacious in lowering blood sugar levels.

OBJECTIVES: Numerous studies have demonstrated that fasting serum glucose (FSG) levels and certain single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are related to an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC); however, their combined effects are still unclear. METHODS: Of a total of 144,527 men and women free of cancer at baseline, 317 developed CRC during 5.3 years of follow-up. A case-cohort study (n=1,691) was used, consisting of participants with a DNA sample available. Three well-known SNPs (rs3802842, rs6983267, rs10795668) were genotyped. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of CRC, colon and rectal cancer were calculated, with the Cox proportional hazard models. RESULTS: The crude incidence rates per 100,000 person-years were 41.1 overall, 48.4 for men, and 29.3 for women. Among participants with dysglycemia, SNPs rs3802842 and rs6983267 were both associated with an increased risk of CRC (HR, 3.2; 95% CI, 1.9 to 5.5 and HR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.1 to 3.1, respectively) and rectal cancer (HR, 3.4; 95% CI, 1.8 to 6.6 and HR, 3.3; 95% CI, 1.6 to 7.1, respectively). The interaction effect of dysglycemia and SNPs was positive, that is, resulted in an elevated risk of CRC, but was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that both high FSG and certain SNPs are major risk factors for CRC and rectal cancer but that they did not interact synergistically. The difference in effect size of the SNPs according to CRC subtype (i.e., colon or rectal cancer) and presence of dysglycemia merits further research.

Objective To explore the relationship between different blood glucose levels and new carotid artery plaques.Methods A total of 5 440 participants met the inclusion criteria were selected stratified randomly from the 101,510 serving and retired workers of Tangshan Kailuan Company who participated the health examination from 2006 to 2007.The follow-up health examination were respectively preformed from 2010 to 2011 and from 2012 to 2013 which included carotid ultrasound for these 5 440 participants.The 5 440 participants were divided into three groups (ideal blood glucose group,impaired fasting glucose group and diabetic group) according to their fasting glucose levels in 2010-2011 examination.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of new carotid artery plaques.Results Among 5 440 subjects,participants whose FPG,ultrasound data incomplete and ultrasound detection of carotid plaques during the 2010-2011 health examination were excluded,then 3 084 participants were included in this study,among them,175 participants who did not participate the 2012-2013 health examination and 561 participants whose carotid plaque ultrasound data incomplete were excluded.Thus,a total of 2 348 participants were included in the present analysis.The total detection of new carotid artery plaque rate was 15.0％ (352/2 348) after 2 years of follow-up.The detection of new carotid artery plaque rate in normal glucose group(n =1724),impaired fasting glucose group(n=464) and diabetic group(n=160) were 14.2％(245/1 724),14.9％(69/464) and 23.8％(38/160),respectively.The diabetic group was higher than that of the ideal blood glucose group and the impaired fasting glucose group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Impaired fasting glucose group and diabetic group had an increased risk of new carotid artery plaque compared with those in ideal glucose group(OR =0.924,95％CI 0.691-1.235 and OR =1.733,95％CI 1.107-2.713,respectively),the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).After adjusted for the other risk factors,with the risk-adjusted ratio (OR =1.117,95％CI 0.824-1.513 and OR =1.393,95％CI 0.872-2.226).Conclusion The detection of new carotid artery plaque increase in the diabetic group.However,after adjustment for other risk factors associate with emerging danger of new carotid artery plaque is no significant difference.This requires more long-term follow-up study of a large sample to be further confirmed.
ABSTRACT
_ Objective_ To analyze the relationship between the fasting plasma glucose ( FPG ) of pre-pregnancy women and occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus( GDM) , and to explore the value of risk evaluation of GDM by lowerling cut-point for impaired fasting glucose ( IFG ) . Methods The general clinic check information before pregnancy, the plasma glucose levels during 24-28 weeks of pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes were collected prospectively in Weifang and Zhucheng Maternal and Child Health Hospital between February 2014 and November 2014. The FPG levels of the recruited women were lower than 6. 1 mmol/L. According to the criteria for GDM of Ministry of Health (MOH)of China in 2011, and based on the results of 75 g oral glucose tolerance test, pregnant women who underwent screening for GDM were recruited and separated into normal group and GDM group. Based on the FPG levels before pregnancy and according to the recommendation as American Diabetes Association ( ADA ) suggested in 2003, recruited women with normal FPG level according to World Health Organization ( WHO) criteria (1999)were divided into 5. 6-6. 1 mmol/L and<5. 6 mmol/L groups. Results Among the child-bearing age women with FPG<6. 1 mmol/L, the incidences of GDM and macrosomia were 19. 2% and 8. 2% respectively. In the group with FPG between 5. 6 and 6. 1 mmol/L, incidences of GDM and macrosomia were 34. 2% and 4. 7%respectively. While in the group with FPG<5. 6 mmol/L, incidences of GDM and macrosomia were 13. 2% and 15. 3% respectively. The risks of GDM and macrosomia were increased by 2. 6 times and 3. 3 times respectively in group with FPG between 5. 6 and 6. 1 mmol/L (34. 5%), compared with that in group with FPG<5. 6 mmol/L(P<0. 01). Age, FPG, and body mass index before pregnancy in GDM group were significantly higher than those in normal group. The receiver operating characteristic curves in predicting GDM showed that the optimum cut-points for age, FPG, and body mass index were 30 years old, 5. 55 mmol/L, and 23. 7 kg/m2 respectively. Conclusions The risk of GDM in childbearing aged women with FPG from 5. 55 to 6. 10 mmol/L was markedly increased. The optimum cut-point for FPG (5. 55 mmol/L) in predicting GDM was close to the low limit for IFG (5. 6 mmol/L) suggested by ADA in 2003. Decreasing the lower limit of IFG to 5. 6 mmol/L among women who checked before pregnancy and paying attention to those women with FPG from 5. 6 to 6. 1 mmol/L would have advantage to the evaluation and prevention of GDM.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the prevalence and associated risk factors of diabetes mellitus in populations of Hans and Kazaks in Xinjiang. Methods A total of 7 299 Hans and Kazaks adults from Shihezi, Xinyuan County of Yining city, and Shawan town of Tacheng City were surveyed. The data were collected according to questionnaire and physical examination and laboratory test. Results The prevalence rates of diabetes mellitus for male, female and all subjects were 8. 14% , 7. 77% , 7. 93% (Hans), and 7. 41% , 4. 90% , 5. 89% (Kazaks), respectively in Hans and Kazaks, Standardized rates were 6. 40% , 7. 06% , 6. 66% (Hans), and 5. 87% , 4. 60% , 5. 28% ( Kazaks), respectively . The prevalence rates of impaired fasting glucose( IFG) were 9. 54% , 8. 08% , 8. 70% ( Hans), and 12. 18% , 8. 62% , 10. 03% ( Kazaks), respectively. Standardized rates were 7. 04% , 7. 23% , 8. 54% ( Hans), and 10. 12% , 8. 09% , 9. 31% ( Kazaks), respectively. Old age, hypertension, dyslipidemia, overweight and obesity, and central obesity were risk factors for diabetes mellitus. Conclusion The prevalence rates of diabetes mellitus and IFG in Hans and Kazaks are higher than those in ethnic minorities in other region. Primary or secondary prevention should be implemented in time.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate impaired fasting glucose(IFG)status of office worker and enterprise personnel in Shiji-azhuang area,for providing a basis for early prevention of diabetes mellitus.Methods The fasting blood glucose level of 109 083 of-fice workers and enterprise personnel in Shijiazhuang area were detected in physical examination in 2012.Results The people of IFG (fasting blood glucose 5.6-<7.0 mmol/L)accounted for 14.61% in all subjects,1 6.61% in men,10.23% in women.3.5 1%male of the 18-<21 years old group were IFG.With the increasing of age,the ratio of IFG people gradually rised to a peak of 30.44% at the age group of 71-<76,and then decreased a little.While the proportion of female with IFG was 1.55% at 18-<21 years old group,with the increasing of age,to the age group of 5 1 - < 56 reached the first peak 20.27%,then decreased at the 56-<61 age group.Rapidly rising again,up to 31.74% the second peak in 76-<81 age group,and then decreased a little.Conclu-sion The proportion of IFG in male is higher than that in female.The proportion of IFG increases with age,and reaches the peak in a certain age (over 70 years old),and then at a relatively stable level.
ABSTRACT
[Summary] To investigate the correlation of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and evaluate the modification effects of body mass index in Chinese adults.The study samples were from a community-based health examination survey in Xuzhou,Jiangsu province of China.A total of 32 433 subjects with biomarkers available were included in the present study.Serum ALT,triglyceride,total cholesterol,high density lipoprotein-cholesterol,low density lipoprotein-cholesterol,and glucose levels were measured.IFG was defined as from 6.1 mmol/L to 7.0 mmol/L.Results are expressed as x±s.The correlation between serum ALT and impaired fasting glucose was assessed using logistic correlation.The correlation of serum ALT and IFG in the group of fasting blood glucose was segnificantly (r=0.07,P＜0.01),while the correlation with the normal blood glucose group fasting blood glucose is weak (r=0.001,P＞0.05).After adjusted for age,sex,and body mass index,there was a strong correlation between the fasting blood glucose (r =0.04,P＜0.01) in ALT and IFG group.After further adjustment for serum lipids,blood pressure,this correlation still exists (r =0.03,P＜0.01).Body mass index influences correlation of ALT and IFG.The present data indicate that the serum ALT is related to the risk of IFG in Chinese adults,and body mass index level may affect the relationship.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Confirmation regarding the association between impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and biomarkers in addition to metabolic components and lifestyle factors are required in the occupational filed for preventing diabetes mellitus. METHODS: The study was performed in working men aged 30 to 60 years old, who were not taking medication for any metabolic diseases. The author measured the serum levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), uric acid, and plasma fibrinogen as potential biomarkers of IFG. RESULTS: The mean serum uric acid, log-transformed serum CRP, and plasma fibrinogen levels were higher in the subjects with IFG than in those without IFG. Multivariate analysis revealed significant associations between the presence of IFG and age, log-transformed value of serum CRP, increased waist circumference, hypertension, and hypertriglyceridemia, with odds ratios of 1.1 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08 to 1.1; P<0.001), 1.8 (95% CI, 1.4 to 2.3; P<0.001), 1.3 (95% CI, 1.09 to 1.7; P<0.01), 1.9 (95% CI, 1.6 to 2.3; P<0.001), and 1.3 (95% CI, 1.04 to 1.6; P<0.05), respectively, for the presence of IFG. CONCLUSION: Serum CRP, age, and three metabolic components were associated with IFG. In contrast, there were no significant associations between IFG and lifestyle factors, serum uric acid or plasma fibrinogen.
