OBJECTIVE To estimate the percent and number of overweight adults in the U.S. with prediabetes who would be potential candidates for diabetes prevention as per the American Diabetes Association Position Statement (12). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III; 1988-1994) and projected our estimates to the year 200...

OBJECTIVE Using a nationally representative sample of the civilian noninstitutionalized U.S. population, we estimated prediabetes prevalence and its changes during 1999-2010. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Data were from 19,182 nonpregnant individuals aged ≥ 12 years who participated in the 1999-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. We defined prediabetes as hemoglobin A1c (A1C...

Context The effects of physical activity (PA) on improvement of glycemia may differ between prediabetic individuals defined by oral glucose tolerance test vs glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Objective We studied the association between PA and improvement of glycemia in individuals with prediabetes defined by glucose vs HbA1c criteria. Design, Setting, and Participants From the Whitehall II stud...

AIMS Secreted frizzled-related protein (Sfrp)5 has beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity, inflammation and cardiovascular risk in different mouse models, but its relevance for cardiometabolic diseases in humans is controversial. We aimed to characterise associations of circulating SFRP5 with cardiometabolic risk factors and prediabetes/type 2 diabetes in a large population-based cohort. M...

Prediabetes presents a high-risk state for the development of various diseases and is reversible by adhering to healthy lifestyle. We conducted this analysis explore associations Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015) Alternate Mediterranean Diet Index (aMed index) with risk prediabetes. The data were derived from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey, including 20,844 participants. Multiv...

Prediabetes is a condition with blood glucose levels higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Most people with prediabetes are asymptomatic but are considered to be at a high risk of developing heart disease and stroke. 140 students of both sexes between ages 14-18 years were given a predesigned questionnaire to obtain information on socio-economic status and family h...

BACKGROUND Excess weight (overweight and obesity) is the major modifiable risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and other non-communicable diseases. However, excess weight may not be as predictive of diabetes risk as once thought. While excess weight and other obesity-related non-communicable diseases are of growing concern in low-middle income countries in Latin America, there is lim...

BACKGROUND Both fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and HbA1c are recommended for the diagnosis of diabetes and prediabetes by the American Diabetes Association (ADA), and for diabetes by the World Health Organization. The ADA guidance is influential on clinical practice in many developing countries, including in the Caribbean and Latin America. We aimed to compare the prevalence and characteristics o...

However, ethnicity, race, geographical and other biological characteristics have linked to development of There is a dearth literature on external validity PRT Indian population. So, objective this study was assess The contained 522 participants aged between 18 60 years. medical history, physic...

AbstractAims This longitudinal study evaluated associations between glucose metabolism and cognitive performance during a 12-year follow-up. Methods We included 714 subjects, which were followedfrom the age 55 to 70 years. Using oral tolerance tests population was classified as normoglycemic (NGT) based on WHO diagnostic criteria for diabetes prediabetes. Cognitive as...
