Abstract
Background The primary aim of this study was to assess the utility of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and HbA1c to identify diabetes by the 2-hour plasma glucose (PG) criterion in the Korean population at high risk for diabetes. Methods A total of 1646 participants with a body mass index of >= 23 kg/m(2)without having a history of diabetes were recruited in this study. The cut-off values of FPG and HbA1c for detecting diabetes were identified using the Youden index using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The gold standard for diabetes prediction was defined by the 2-hour PG level of >= 200 mg/dL. Results The participants comprised 54.0% women, and the mean age of all participants was 55.0 +/- 8.1 years. At baseline, FPG was 104.1 +/- 14.2 mg/dL, the 2-hour PG value was 162.9 +/- 55.3 mg/dL, and HbA1c was 5.9% +/- 0.5%. Four hundred and forty-six subjects (27.1%) were diagnosed with diabetes and 976 subjects (59.3%) were determined to be at prediabetes. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of FPG and HbA1c for diabetes were 0.776 and 0.802, while the AUC of FPG and HbA1c for prediabetes were 0.515 and 0.477. The optimal cut-off value for diagnosing diabetes of FPG and HbA1c were 104.5 mg/dL (sensitivity 75.8%, specificity 67.5%) and 5.9% (sensitivity 80.6%, specificity 63.8%), respectively. Conclusions FPG of 104.5 mg/dL and HbA1c value of 5.9% (41 mmol/mol) can be used as an optimal screening value for diabetes by 2-hour PG criterion in the Korean population at high risk for diabetes.Funding Information
