Summary: This study compared health behaviors and health literacy between individuals with non-IFG and IFG, identifying factors associated with IFG by sex. In males, age, high BMI, frequent drinking, and nutrition label usage were significant factors, while low economic status and high BMI were affecting factors in females. Employment status, perceived stress, and job type were not related to IFG in both genders. Strategies should target specific groups to improve health behaviors and literacy, with healthcare providers understanding barriers for effective service delivery.

Summary: This study found that impaired fasting glucose (IFG) is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease compared to normal glycemia, especially among overweight and obese individuals. The risk of IFG in men is comparable to that of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Overweight/obesity increases the burden of lifetime cardiovascular disease risk in individuals with IFG.

Summary: The status of metabolic abnormalities, including impaired fasting glucose (IFG), can change over time. Using data from the Korean National Health Insurance system, the study found that cumulative exposure to IFG was associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in a dose-response fashion.

Summary: This study investigated the association between relative hand grip strength and glycemic status. The results showed that individuals with lower relative hand grip strength had a higher risk of both diabetes and impaired fasting glucose. This association was stronger in younger adults compared to older adults.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the association between body mass index (BMI) and mortality in elderly Chinese individuals with different glycemic statuses. The results showed that higher BMI was associated with reduced mortality in individuals with normal fasting glucose (NFG) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but not in individuals with impaired fasting glucose (IFG).

Summary: The study revealed that individuals without traditional ASCVD risk factors are at increased risk of developing CVD with higher levels of abnormal fasting plasma glucose, underlining the importance of prevention strategies targeting elevated FPG levels in addition to other traditional ASCVD risk factors.

Summary: Type 2 diabetes and its borderline states, impaired fasting glucose and/or glucose tolerance, are associated with dyslipoproteinemia. This study uses NMR spectroscopy to analyze the lipoprotein subclass patterns of patients with different stages of diabetes and investigates the changes in lipoprotein patterns over time. The study found that the lipoprotein subclass distributions were altered in diabetic patients, but the total concentrations of lipoprotein particles produced by the liver were not significantly changed.

Summary: This study found an association between plasma transthyretin levels and the risk of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and impaired glucose regulation (IGR) in a Chinese population. Higher plasma transthyretin concentrations were associated with an increased risk of T2DM and IGR.

Summary: Dysglycaemia, even at prediabetes levels, is associated with an increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation and heart failure. The study found that individuals with diagnosed diabetes had the highest risk. However, the associations were somewhat weakened when BMI data was taken into account, with only diagnosed diabetes remaining statistically significant for atrial fibrillation.

Summary: This study found that different HbA1c metrics were positively correlated with coronary artery calcium volume and pericardial adipose tissue volume, and they could independently predict cardiovascular events in individuals with type 1 diabetes. These associations persisted even after adjusting for multiple cardiovascular disease risk factors.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of impaired fasting glucose (IFG), undiagnosed, and prior-diagnosed Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Kazakhstan. The results showed a high prevalence of IFG and a significant proportion of newly diagnosed T2DM in Kazakhstan. The identified risk factors can be used to strengthen the identification of undiagnosed patients and provide preventive or therapeutic interventions to reduce the incidence of T2DM and its complications.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the gender-specific impact of 3-year changes in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) status on the risk of all-cause, cardiovascular (CV), and cancer mortality. The findings showed that women with any change in FPG status, except IFG-NFG, had a higher risk of all-cause mortality compared to those with a stable normal FPG status. In contrast, among men, only the conversion to T2DM was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Summary: This study examined the lifetime risk of type 2 diabetes in Iranian adults, specifically looking at the influence of family history of diabetes and body mass index (BMI). It found that both factors independently increased the risk of diabetes and that the risk was even higher when both factors were present. Additionally, the study found that individuals with a positive family history of diabetes and obesity had a significantly higher risk compared to those with a normal weight and no family history of diabetes.

Summary: The adherence to the DASH diet was not significantly associated with cognitive function, but the consumption of specific components of the diet was correlated with different test performances. There may be differences in the impact of diet on cognitive function among different racial/ethnic groups.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the associations between glycemic markers and heart failure and its subtypes in Black individuals. The results showed that higher levels of hemoglobin A1C and fasting plasma glucose were associated with an increased risk of heart failure. Diabetes status was also associated with a higher risk of heart failure.

Summary: This study found that a 3-month rehabilitation intervention improved physical function and health-related quality of life in both older Black and White patients with acute decompensated heart failure, without significant differences between the two racial groups. However, the association between intervention and reduced all-cause rehospitalizations was stronger in White patients compared to Black patients, suggesting the need for further research.

Summary: Multiple studies suggest that normal weight adults at diabetes diagnosis have higher risk of all-cause mortality than those with overweight or obesity at diagnosis. This study found that even in individuals with normal weight, visceral fat is strongly associated with cardiometabolic risk in African Americans, indicating its importance beyond overall adiposity and obesity.
