OBJECTIVE: To evaluate age-specific effects on diabetes prevalence
estimates resulting from the American Diabetes Association (ADA)
recommendation against use of the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), we
contrasted the prevalence of two mutually exclusive groups: undiagnosed
diabetes according to ADA criteria (no report of diabetes and fasting
glucose [FG] > or =126 mg/dl) and isolated postchallenge hyperglycemia
(IPH) (FG <126 mg/dl and OGTT > or =200 mg/dl), a group designated to
have diabetes by World Health Organization (WHO) criteria but not ADA
criteria. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The weighted age-specific ratios of
undiagnosed diabetes:IPH were calculated for 2,844 subjects aged 40-74
years without reported diabetes who had both FG and OGTT. A ratio > 1.0
indicated that the proportion of undiagnosed diabetes was greater than that
of IPH. Mean levels of HbA1c and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors
were contrasted among people with undiagnosed diabetes and IPH and those
without either abnormality ("nondiabetic"). RESULTS: Both undiagnosed
diabetes and IPH increased with age, but age-specific undiagnosed
diabetes:IPH ratios decreased from 5.49 in the 40-44 age-group to 0.77 in
the 70-74 age-group. Regression analysis showed a significant (P = 0.006)
negative association between age and these ratios. Mean HbA1c was 7.1% in
the undiagnosed diabetes group and differed significantly from that of the
IPH and nondiabetic groups (5.6 and 5.3%, respectively). Individuals with
undiagnosed diabetes had less favorable triglycerides, BMI, and HDL
cholesterol compared with people with IPH. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with WHO
criteria, the ADA criteria underestimate glucose abnormalities more with
increasing age. However, compared to those with undiagnosed diabetes,
individuals with IPH had a mean HbA1c level that is considered in the
nondiabetic range, and this group had significantly more favorable levels
of several key CVD risk factors. These findings suggest that the ADA
criteria, although underestimating the abnormalities of postchallenge
hyperglycemia that occur frequently with increasing age, appear to be
effective at identifying a group of individuals with both unfavorable CVD
risk factor profiles and evidence of long-term exposure to hyperglycemia.
