[Demographic and metabolic data of persons with different risk for diabetes mellitus based on "random" blood glucose values].
Four risk-categories for diabetes probability where defined by measured random-blood glucose values: minimum risk (random blood glucose < or = 95 mg/dl), low (96-139 mg/dl), moderate (140-199 mg/dl), and high (> or = 200 mg/dl). Using these risk categories and other risk factors as age, sex, BMI, and cholesterol, further data analysis were made. Among high-risk patients, male sex was represented two fold compared to female sex. In +65 year old subjects the diabetes risk increased from 8.2% for the whole study cohort up to 12.1%. An increase of body weight was paralleled by an increased risk for diabetes, whereas in the highest diabetes risk-group, obese subjects (BMI subgroup 4) were twice as frequent as in the next lower risk category. Additionally, 62% of subjects with a high diabetes risk had elevated cholesterol levels.
