Abstract:
We examined values of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in 8, 870 subjects who underwent the mass screening conducted by Naganoken Koseiren Kenkokanri Center. The mean values of FPG and HbA1c were 95.3±15.0mg/dl, and 5.12±0.50%. Both values increased significantly withage. FPG was correlated significantly with HbA1c. Neither age nor body mass index wasrelated with HbA1c statistically. 60.8% of the cases of the HbA1c value of 5.8 werediagnosed as impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or diabetes mellitus (DM). 68.7% of the cases of at the HbA1c value of 5.9 were in normal FPG range. In a mass screening, diagnosis of IFG or DM by FPG value is easy and lessens a burden of those who take on a group checkup. But diagnosis by FPG level may bring about excess diabetic patients who arehealthy. So diagnosis of IFG or DM in a mass screening should be made by both FPG and HbA1c values instead of FPG alone.
