Objective To analyze the prognosis of people with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) after 10 years follow-up. Methods 30 patients with IGT, screened out in 1995 census, were intervened with medication and the change of life style for ten years. Results There were 7 cases (23.3%) in 30 patients with IGT were developed into DM and 13 cases (43.3%) were still IGT, others (10 cases, 33.3%) were reverted to NGT. In the beginning of the study, the means of TG and HBCI in DM turnover group were significantly higher than those of IGT and NGT turnover group (P0.05). After Ten years of follow-up, the prevalence rates of obesity and abdominal obesity in DM groups were significantly higher than those in NGT group (P

Objective To investigate the prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its related diseases in Bengbu community residents. Methods 3246 residents aged from 25 to 74 years were chosen through cluster random sampling method, including 1459 males and 1787 females. MS and its related diseases were examined. Results (1) The prevalence rate and standardized rate of MS was 20. 5% and 16.0%, respectively, which reached higher level all over China. The prevalence rate of male and female was 22. 9% and 18. 6%, respectively. The highest prevalence rate occurred in presenium patients. (2)The prevalences of various metabolic diseases were increased with aging except for overweigh/obesity and MS (P<0.01). The prevalence of various metabolic diseases was 1 times higher in elderly patients than that in young patients, and the prevalence rate of MS in male and female increased to 2.8 times and 2.7 times, respectively. The prevalence rate of type 2 diabetes mellitus increased biggest, male to 7.9 times and female to 12.8 times compared with the original level. (3) The multiple components clustering rate of MS was high, only 33.8% of individuals had no metabolic disorder. Conclusions The prevalence rates of MS and its related diseases are high in Bengbu community residents. It is necessary to take comprehensive measures to prevent and control MS in community.
