Sleep quality and sleep duration might be more disturbed throughout the pandemic of Covid-19 among health care practitioners (HCPs). It could influence impaired fasting glucose (IFG) hyperuricemia. Therefore, objective this study was to assess association between with IFG hyperuricemia HCPs Covid-19. We conducted a cross-sectional that enrolled 58 in tertiary hospital. Self-reported questionnai...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of lowering the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) criteria for impaired fasting glucose (IFG) on the prevalence of IFG and the risk for the development of diabetes associated with IFG in Koreans. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 7,211 subjects who had normal glucose tolerance (NGT) or IFG were recruited. Subjects were evaluated at baseline a...

Prediabetes can be defined by the presence of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and/or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), or glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) to identify individuals at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). The World Health Organization (WHO, 1999) and the American Diabetes Association (ADA, 2003) utilise different cut-off values for IFG (WHO: 6.1-6.9 mmol/L; ADA: 5.6-6.9 ...

OBJECTIVE Elevated plasma triglycerides (TGs) have been included in diabetes risk prediction models. This study examined whether elevated TGs predict risk for impaired fasting glucose (IFG). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This study used the baseline and longitudinal follow-up data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). The analysis included non-Hispanic whites, African Americans...

Commentary Using their large sample of epilepsy surgery candidates, Berl et al. have made an important contribution regarding the complexity of the lateralization patterns during a semantic decision task of aurally presented word definitions. They have demonstrated the need for assessing lateralization of language in both Wernicke's area (WA) and Broca's area (inferior frontal gyrus [IFG]) rath...

OBJECTIVE While glucose tolerance abnormalities are common in cystic fibrosis (CF), impaired fasting glucose (IFG) has scarcely been explored. No studies have examined the relation between IFG and clinical status. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Data were retrieved from the University of Minnesota CF database on oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) performed in 1996-2005. Subjects were identified...

OBJECTIVE To characterize the association between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), combined IFG and IGT, and occult diabetes in individuals of different body habitus. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Cross-sectional analysis of 2,588 participants (aged 52-96 years; 46% men) without known diabetes. SDB was defined as respiratory ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the cardiovascular risk profile, the degree of insulin resistance, and beta-cell secretion in a cohort of subjects with different categories of impaired glucose regulation (IGR): impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and combined IFG/IGT. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied 902 nondiabetic subjects between 30 and 80 years of age, recruited fr...
