Risk Factors for the Progression or Regression to Diabetes or Normoglycaemia for Men with Impaired Fasting Glucose.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Reporting of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) prevalence and risk factors for progression to diabetes differs between studies, in part, due to the use of multiple definitions of the condition. We aimed to determine the prevalence of diabetes and IFG in men and identify risk factors for the progression to diabetes and regression to normoglycaemia.

Materials and methods

Participants were from the Geelong Osteoporosis Study. Diabetes was defined as fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥ 7.0 mmol/L, self-report of diabetes and/or use of antihyperglycaemic medication. IFG was defined using both American Diabetes Association (IFG-ADA: FPG 5.6-6.9 mmol/L) and World Health Organisation (IFG-WHO: FPG 6.1-6.9 mmol/L) criteria. Prevalence of hyperglycaemia at baseline (2001-2006, 1170 men,
