Predicting Metabolic Syndrome in Obese Children and Adolescents: Look, Measure and Ask

Obesity Facts, 2013
Objective: To verify in obese children whether or not the presence of i) high waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), ii) family history for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and iii) acanthosis nigricans (AN), singularly or together, might predict the occurrence of metabolic

Relationship between BMI and risk of impaired glucose tolerance and impaired fasting glucose in Chinese adults: a prospective study

BMC Public Health, 2023
Background Current studies in most Western countries have largely focused on body mass index (BMI) as an important risk factor for impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG), which have different pathophysiological bases.

Decreased basal hepatic glucose uptake in impaired fasting glucose [PDF]

Diabetologia, 2017
This research aimed to define the pathophysiological defects responsible for the elevated fasting plasma glucose (FPG) concentration and excessive rise in post-load plasma glucose observed in individuals with impaired fasting glucose (IFG).We used tracer techniques to quantify basal splanchnic (primarily hepatic) glucose uptake and glucose fluxes ...

Fasting plasma glucose levels and coronary artery calcification in subjects with impaired fasting glucose

Annals of Saudi Medicine, 2016
BACKGROUND: Prediabetes is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). While the association of impaired glucose tolerance with CVD has been shown in many studies, the relationship between impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and CVD ...

GDF15 Is a Novel Biomarker for Impaired Fasting Glucose

Diabetes & Metabolism Journal, 2014
Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF15) is a protein that belongs to the transforming growth factor β superfamily. An elevated serum level of GDF15 was found to be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). T2DM is an inflammatory disease that progresses from normal glucose tolerance (NGT) to impaired fasting glucose (IFG).

Impaired Glucose Tolerance, but Not Impaired Fasting Glucose, Underlies Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction [PDF]

Diabetes Care, 2011
OBJECTIVE Glucose intolerance is recognized as a predictor of congestive heart failure (CHF). However, the association of postprandial hyperglycemia or fasting hyperglycemia with CHF has not been clarified. We determined the impact of the total spectrum of glucose abnormalities on left ventricular (LV) geometry and ...
