Highlights
- •Among diabetic medications naïve subjects, the prevalence of diabetes was about 2.5% using the FPG criteria, 3.3% using the HbA1c criteria and only 1.6% met both criteria.
- •The subjects with diabetes by the HbA1c criteria were older than the subjects with diabetes by the FPG criteria and the prevalence of diabetes by the HbA1c criteria only was three times more higher than that of daibetes by FPG only in the subjects older than 50 years old.
- •HbA1c testing might be additional screening or diagnostic tool for older diabetic patients.
Abstract
We compared the characteristics of a Korean adult population diagnosed with diabetes
using only a fasting plasma glucose criterion or an HbA1c criterion. The single difference
between these two groups was age. Further studies should be undertaken to clarify
whether age-specific diagnostic criteria would be appropriate in Korean populations.
