[The clinical characteristics and its relationship with metabolic syndrome in elderly subjects with impaired glucose regulation].
OBJECTIVE
To study the clinical characteristics of impaired glucose regulation (IGR) in elderly subjects and its relationship with metabolic syndrome (MS).


METHODS
The exploration of IGR in 2 810 Chongqing citizens over 40 years old was done by OGTT in a cross-section study. Normal glucose tolerance (NGT), IGR and diabetes (DM) were grouped based on the1999 diagnosis standard of WHO. IGR was composed of impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and both of which.


RESULTS
The prevalence of IGR was 18.11%, among which IGT (85.27%). Compared with the NGT group, the IGR group had higher age, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) and HOMA-IR, lower high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and HOMA-B. The IGR group had lower blood pressure, TG and HOMA-IR, and higher HOMA-B than the DM group. When each subgroup of IGR was compared with each other, both IFG plus IGT subgroup and IFG subgroup had higher BMI and HOMA-IR, and lower HOMA-B than IGT subgroup. The prevalences of hypertension, lipid disorder, obesity/overweight, and microalbuminuria in each subgroup of IGR were statistically higher than that of the NGT group. The prevalence of MS in the IFG plus IGT subgroup was higher than that of the IGT subgroup.


CONCLUSIONS
The incidence of IGR was high in elderly people over 40 years old in local district of Chongqing city. There were various metabolic disorders in the subgroups of IGR. The IFG plus IGT and IFG group had higher BMI, hypertension, microalbuminuria and HOMA-IR, but lower HOMA-B than the IGT group.
