[Usefulness of hemoglobin A1c and fructosamine for screening of glucose intolerance in community adults].
The usefulness of hemoglobin A1c and fructosamine for screening of glucose intolerance were compared in 383 semi-urban residents ranging from 35 to 88 years of age. Both the sensitivity and specificity of the indices for screening of those with 110 mg/dl and over of fasting blood glucose were examined. The results showed that hemoglobin A1c was better than fructosamine for screening for glucose intolerance.
