Overview

Cross-sectional study finds higher diabetes prevalence and earlier onset in Indian populations compared to East Asian cohorts, highlighting limitations of fasting glucose screening.

Key Points

  • To determine the age- and sex-specific prevalence of diabetes and impaired glucose regulation across diverse Asian populations using revised World Health Organization criteria.
  • Analyzed pooled data from 11 studies across 4 Asian countries, evaluating 24,335 participants (10,851 men and 13,484 women) aged 30–89 years.
  • Evaluated glycemic status using 2-hour oral glucose tolerance tests according to revised World Health Organization criteria.
  • Diabetes prevalence peaked at 60–69 years in Indian participants compared to 70–89 years in Chinese and Japanese participants, with Indians demonstrating higher 10-year age-specific prevalence across ages 30–79.
  • Indian participants showed a higher prevalence of impaired glucose regulation at younger ages (30–49 years) than Chinese and Japanese participants.
  • Impaired glucose tolerance occurred more frequently than impaired fasting glycemia across all cohorts and age groups.
