In order to estimate risk of diabetes by analyzing dietary patterns, we examined prevalence of diabetes and impaired fasting glucose among Korean adults who are similar in food frequency to diabetes and impaired fasting glucose. The mean of food frequency of diabetes and impaired fasting glucose was calculated for analyzing the prevalence using the food frequency data from 2007, 2008 and 2009 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(KNHANES). Also the most frequent food was estimated for each group by using the mean difference of food frequency. As the results shows that the similar food frequency groups have significant prevalence rate, we expect that this study will contribute to the relations between dietary intakes and prevalence of diabetes.

The purpose of this study is to identify the prevalence of impaired fasting glucose among non-diabetic middle-aged men in Korea and to identify factors related to impaired fasting glucose. The research method is a descriptive research study using data of 545 men aged 40-64 who participated in the 8th Korean Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(KHANES) in the second year(2020). For data analysis, frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, Rao-Scott 𝛘², t-test, and logistic regression analysis were performed using the complex sample analysis method of SPSS/WIN 23.0 program. The results of this study showed that the prevalence of impaired fasting glucose was 44.77%, and the frequency of drinking(OR=1.531, 95% CI: 1.01-2.33) and triglycerides(OR=1.002, 95% CI: 1.00-1.01) were significantly related factors for impaired fasting glucose. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a program for the prevention and management of impaired fasting glucose in middle-aged men, and this program should include drinking habits and triglycerides management strategies.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the fasting blood sugar and serum lipid levels (TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C) and obesity indices (BMI, body fat rates, waist circumference, waist to hip ratio). The study sample consists of 1,473 manufacturing workers aged from 30 to 59 years, who underwent a health check-up at a university hospital during the period from Jan. to Dec. 2015. A data analysis was conducted to classify the subjects into the normal and abnormal groups according to their fasting blood sugar levels depending on the average values of the serum lipids and obesity indices. Multiple regression analyzes adjusted for sex and age were conducted for the factors affecting the fasting blood sugar level. As a result, the Serum TC, TG, LDL-C, BMI and waist circumference were found to be significantly higher in the abnormal fasting blood sugar level group than in the normal one, but the HDL-C was significantly lower in the abnormal group than in the normal one The fasting blood sugar level had a significant positive correlation with the TC, TG, LDL-C, BMI and waist circumference. The TC, TG, BMI and body fat were the significant factors affecting the fasting blood sugar. The above results suggest that the fasting blood sugar and serum lipid levels (TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C), obesity indices (BMI, body fat rates, waist circumference, waist to hip ratio) of manufacturing workers are significantly associated with each other.

당뇨병환자가 10만명을 육박해 당뇨 대란이 예상되는 가운데, 당뇨병 예비자 또한 그 수가 만만치 않다. 당뇨병 예비자에는 생활습관이 불규칙하거나, 운동을 전혀 하지 않는 사람, 비만한 사람 등이 포함이 되는데, 당뇨병 전단계라 불리우는 내당능장애와 공복혈당장애 환자도 마찬가지이다. 당뇨병 전단계는 확실하게 당뇨병으로 진단을 받은 것은 아니지만 당뇨병으로 발전할 가능성이 충분한 상태로써 공복, 식후혈당이 이상이 있는 경우를 말한다. 이러한 환자도 당뇨병환자와 똑같은 치료법으로 관리를 해야 훗날 당뇨병으로 발전하거나, 그로 인한 합병증의 피해를 줄일 수 있다.

노인 당뇨병환자에서는 공복혈당은 140mg/dl 이하, 식후 2시간 혈당은 200mg/dl 이하가 적당하며 저혈당의 위험도를 낮추기 위해 공복혈당이나 취침 전 혈당을 270mg/dl 이하 정도로 유지하는 것이 더 적절하다.

This aim of this study is to assess the association of between glucose level and periodontal diseases in Korea adults. The data for analysis were obtained from Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009. A total of 7,062 subjects who aged 19 years and above, underwent a medical and dental checkups. The prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes group was 27%, and the prevalence of impaired fasting glucose(IFG) group was 41.2%, diabetes group was 43.6% with periodontitis. IFG and diabetes had significantly higher prevalence of periodotontits compared to those having normal after adjusting confounding variables; the odds ratios were 1.35 (95% confidence interval: 1.17 to 1.55) and 1.27 (95% confidence interval: 1.02 to 1.58), respectively. This study has suggested that diabetes increases the risk of periodontal disease. Proactive, preventative dental and diabetes self care, as well as regular dental and diabetes assessment, are important management strategies for impaied fasting glucose and periodotnal health.

The purpose of this study was to compare the anthropometry, blood pressure, blood lipid levels, and nutrient intakes in three groups: a group with an impaired fasting blood glucose (IFG) condition (62 males and 30 females); a group with normal blood glucose (73 males and 50 females); and a group with diabetes mellitus (DM) (79 males and 49 females). In male subjects, body mass index (BMI) and obesity index values were significantly higher in the IFG group than in normal and DM groups, but waist/hip ratio (WHR), systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure were not significantly different from those of the DM group. In female subjects, there was no difference in body weight, BMI, obesity index and WHR values between the IFG and the DM groups. The prevalence of obesity in the IFG group (males 43.6%, females 76.7%) was the highest among the three groups. The percentage of high SBP (40.0%) and high DBP (52.0%) in male subjects of the IFG group was significantly greater than in the DM group or the normal group. In the male subjects, the serum triglyceride concentration was significantly higher in the DM group than in the normal and IFG groups. There was no difference in various nutrient intakes(energy, carbohydrate, protein, fat, calcium, iron, vitamin A and cholesterol) among the three groups. In male subjects, the percentage of energy intake from alcohol was higher in the IFG group (7.0%) than that of the normal (4.5%) and the DM (5.6%) groups. The fasting blood glucose level had a positive correlation with WHR, TG, the athrogenic index and LDL-cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol. This study suggested that the IFG group had a higher obesity index, BMI, blood pressure and serum lipid levels (TG, cholesterol) than the normal or the DM group; furthermore, the IFG group had higher levels of alcohol intake and habits of taking unbalanced diets. Therefore, guidelines for IFG group should emphasize weight control, diet therapy, physical activities and regular balanced diets, in order to prevent diabetes in this group.

Diabetes mellitus is associated with a variety of adverse health outcomes, including metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases. Recently, diabetes has been receiving increased scientific attention because of the rapid increase in the diabetic population. One of the features of type-2 diabetes mellitus is an elevated glucose level in blood. Fasting glucose level, which is the most basic test, is widely used as a diagnostic indicator of diabetes. Several previous studies reported that TLR4 expression is relatively high in the heart. However, few studies have investigated the association between TLR4 variants and fasting blood glucose to date. Thus, this study tested the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TLR4 gene and fasting glucose in the Korean population. A total of 994 subjects recruited from Seoul were used for the present study. When compared to fasting blood glucose, the TLR4 gene region was shown as a linkage disequilibrium owing to the relatively large gene range. This region also presented as several LD blocks. We found that specific SNPs in the TLR4 gene were associated with the mean fasting glucose (p<0.01). The minor allele frequency of rs1329067 was 16.4%, and individuals with the AA genotype had a higher fasting blood glucose level than those with the GG genotype, suggesting that genetic variants in TLR4 influence glucose levels in Korean adults.

There have been many studies to develop methods for predicting diabetes and to prevent diabetes. The validity of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), one of the commonly known tools in predicting diabetes, has been verified by many previous studies. In this study, we examined the cutoff value of HbA1c for diabetes and impaired fasting glucose (IFG). Based on this study, we proposed a proper clinical guideline and evaluated the validation of the guideline. Excluding those without blood glucose and HbA1c data, we used the data of 5,161 subjects (2,281 men and 2,880 women) over the age of 20 years from the 2015 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The correlation efficient of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and HbA1c was 0.79, indicating a strong relationship. Howeve, the correlation efficient of FPG and HbA1c was low, showing 0.27 in non-diabetes, 0.39 in IFG, and 0.66 in diabetes, showing a strong relationship. The cutoff value of HbA1c for predicting diabetes using ROC curve was 6.05% (sensitivity 84.6%, and specificity 92.0%), and AUC was 0.941 (0.937 in men, and 0.946 in women). The cutoff value of HbA1c for predicting IFG using ROC curve was 5.55% (sensitivity 64.5%, and specificity 70.0%), and AUC was 0.733 (0.708 in men, and 0.764 in women). Therefore, it may not be appropriate to apply the guidelines for diagnosing IFG since sensitivity and specificity were below 70%. For future studies retarding the cutoff value of HbA1c in predicting IFG, high sensitivity and specificity are expected if we segment the reference range of IFG.
