ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) was reported to be associated with type 2 diabetes, various cardiovascular disease risk factors, and individual components of metabolic syndrome. We performed a cross-sectional study to elucidate the relations between GGT and impaired fasting glucose (IFG).METHODS:
The subject of this study included 693 adults (males 272, females 421) aged 45 years or over who have lived in Chuncheon, a suburban small-sized city. IFG was defined as elevated fasting plasma glucose (FPG) concentration of > or = 100 and or = 75th) were 1.0, 0.56, 1.57, and 2.79, respectively (P-value for trend 0.022). In women, the association between the risk of IFG and GGT was not statistically significant.CONCLUSION:
This study suggests that elevated level of GGT within the normal range is an independent predictor of impaired fasting glucose in middle-aged or older men but not in women.
