A prospective study of impaired fasting glucose and type 2 diabetes in China
Key result
Over 4 years, the age-standardized incidence rates of IFG and diabetes were 62.6 and 10.0 per 1000 person-years, respectively, with fasting blood glucose rising across all BMI categories.

Prevalence and incidence of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and diabetes
A large prospective Chinese cohort demonstrates a high and rapidly increasing incidence of impaired fasting glucose and diabetes, which occurs across all body mass index categories including lean individuals.
Cite This Study
Vaidya et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Impaired fasting glucose and type 2 diabetes (n=100,279). Body mass index and anthropometrics was evaluated on Incidence of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and diabetes. Over 4 years, the age-standardized incidence rates of IFG and diabetes were 62.6 and 10.0 per 1000 person-years, respectively, with fasting blood glucose rising across all BMI categories.
