background: the prevalence of prediabetes in the world continues to increase. these patients have elevated the risk of atherosclerosis. the current study was designed to assess the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (pad) and its related risk factors in prediabetes patients. methods: this was the case-control study in which 135 adults in three groups: diabetes, prediabetes, and normal we...

Background: Prediabetes is a metabolic condition which is characterized by the presence of higher levels of blood glucose. It can be treated by lowering high blood glucose level and maintaining the healthy lifestyle habits, healthy meal plan and regular exercise. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of prediabetes and to identify the risk factors involved in its progression. Ma...

conclusions because of increasing prevalence of prediabetes at earlier age, it seems necessary to reconsider the screening age in urban areas and perform the screening in all adults at younger ages. results the prevalence of diabetes was 7.04% (4.52% women, 2.52% men) and the prevalence of prediabetes was 8.58% (5.59% women, 2.98% men). thehighest prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes were obs...

OBJECTIVE The association ns between prediabetes and androgens have been rarely reported, especially in Chinese men. We aimed to investigate whether androgens were associated with the prevalence of prediabetes diagnosed with new American Diabetes Association criteria in Chinese men and then to assess which androgen value was the most relevant factor. METHODS A total of 2654 men (52.6±13.4 yea...

INTRODUCTION Estimates indicate that 86 million people in the United States fit the clinical definition of prediabetes, which contributes to the epidemic of nearly 2 million new diagnoses of type 2 diabetes mellitus each year. Effort has focused on preventing prediabetes from progressing to clinical diabetes. We investigated the sociodemographic, behavioral, and health factors in people diagnos...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the associations of hyperfiltration and hypofiltration with prediabetes and prehypertension. METHODS The study subjects included 99 140 people aged 20-89 years who underwent health checkups in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The prevalence of hyperfiltration [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) above the age-/sex-specific 95th percentile] and hypofi...

In 2010, approximately one in three U.S. adults aged≥20 years (an estimated 79 million persons) had prediabetes, a condition in which blood glucose or hemoglobin A1c (A1c) levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. Persons with prediabetes are at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes, which accounts for 90%-95% of all cases of diabetes. Each year, 11% of ...

Abstract Background Prediabetes is characterized by a hemoglobin A1c of 5.7–6.4% and fasting blood glucose 100–125 mg/dl. A high percentage prediabetes subjects develop type 2 diabetes mellitus in the next years. The effects opioid peptides their receptors, addition to immunological cytokines, on are not well understood. Therefore, molecular, physiological, clinical studies required link system...
