Symposium 8: Epidemiology and morbi-mortality
Abstrak
Prediabetes is an intermediate stage between normal blood glucose and diabetes and has a high prevalence, especially in older age groups and obese people. Five different definitions are currently used, based on cut-off points for HbA 1C, fasting glucose, and 2-hour glucose. The risks attributable to prediabetes, including diabetes, are related to micro and macrovascular complications, neuropathic complications, cardiorenal diseases, cancer, and death (depending on the definition used). Data on the worldwide prevalence of prediabetes are incomplete. The International Diabetes Federation (2019) estimated the global prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance at 7.5%. Most people with prediabetes (72.2%) reside in low- and middle-income countries.
