Setting and participants. 5140 participants aged 20 to 69 years who had audiometric testing and completed a diabetes questionnaire as part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Study (NHANES) from 1999 to 2004. A diagnosis of diabetes was assessed with the question, “Other than during pregnancy (for women), have you ever been told by a doctor or health professional that you have diabetes or sugar diabetes?” 2259 participants were randomly assigned to fasting blood glucose testing; of these participants, 146 had diabetes.
