Effect of lowering the upper limit of normal fasting glucose on the distribution of impaired glucose regulation in the population in Wuhan urban areas / 中华健康管理学杂志

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo analyze the effect of lowering the upper limit of normal fasting glucose on the distribution of impaired gheose regulation(IGR)in the population in Wuhan urban area.MethodsThe health profiles of 1896 people after physical examinations were analyzed by X2 test.ResultsThe low limit for impaired fasting glucose(IFG)was decreased from 6.1 to 5.6 mmol/L,IFG increased 271 patients.the prevalence of IFG increased from 13.1%to 27.4%(X2=62.68,P<0.05),and the value of normal glucose test decreased from 60.3%to 47.5%(X2=120.03,P<0.05).Overweisht or obesity,hypetention,fatty liver,hyperlipidemia,ECG abnormality were significantly different(P<0.05)in groups of fasting glucose 5.6-6.0 mmol/L to<5.6 mmol/L and to 6.1-6.9 mmol/L ConclusionThe new cut point of IFG has significantly influenced the distribution of IGR in the population of Wuhan urban areas.In the newly IFG.increased subjects,metabolic abnormalities of glucose and lipid occur,and an intervention of life-style is needed for them.
