Abstract Background Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) variability is a significant predictor of mortality, especially in patients with poor glycemic control. This study aimed to explore the temporal age- and sex-specific profiles of temporal FPG variability in a Chinese population undergoing routine health screening and to guide the development of targeted public health interventions for the prevention and control of diabetes. Methods In this cross-sectional study, we used a general linear model to compare differences in temporal FPG values between sexes and across age groups in 101,886 Nanjing residents who underwent a routine physical health examination at the Health Management Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, in 2018. The variability of FPG as a function of time, age, and sex, independently and in combination, was analyzed. Results The participants included 57,455 (56.4%) males and 44,431 (43.6%) females, with a mean ± SD age of 42.8 ± 15.0 years. The average ± SD FPG level was 5.5 ± 1.1 mmol/L. The monthly variation contributed to 22% of the overall FPG variability. A significant main effect for the age group was observed (F = 7.39, P < 0.05), with an excellent fitting effect (Eta-squared =0.15). The variability of FPG showed sex differences in the percentage difference of the coefficient of variation, which was 34.1% higher in males than females. There were significant interaction effects for month*age*sex and day*age*sex. Conclusions Temporal variability in FPG is evident in the general Chinese population and is affected by both age and sex. To avoid complications associated with FPG variability, interventions should be directed at females and males at specific ages for optimal control of FPG variability and to reduce the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular events.

The Relationship

Abstract BackgroundTriglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) has been regarded as a reliable alternative marker of insulin resistance. However, study on the relationship between TyG index and incident diabetes remains limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between TyG index and incident diabetes in a large cohort of Chinese population.MethodsThe present study was a retrospective cohort study using healthy screening programme data in China. A total of 201,298 subjects free of baseline diabetes were included who received a health check with all medical records from 2010 to 2016. TyG index was calculated as Ln[fasting triglyceride level (mg/dl) x fasting plasma glucose (mg/dl)/2]. Diagnosis of diabetes was based on fasting plasma glucose ≥ 7.00 mmol/L and/or self-reported diabetes. Cox proportion-hazard model was used to assess the relationship between TyG index at baseline and the risk of incident diabetes. It should be noted that the data was uploaded to the DATADRYAD website, and we only used this data for secondary analysis.ResultsDuring a mean follow-up of 3.12 years of 201,298 individuals aged ≥ 20 years old, 3389 subjects developed diabetes. After adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, serum creatinine, smoking, drinking and family history of diabetes, multivariate cox hazards regression analysis indicated that TyG index was positive correlation with the risk of developing diabetes in Chinese population (HR, 3.34; 95% CI, 3.11 to 3.60). The risk of incident diabetes increased with increasing TyG index. Subjects with TyG index in the fourth quartile were 6.26 times more likely to develop diabetes than the lowest quartile (P trend < 0.001). Subgroup analysis showed the stronger association was observed in the population with age < 40, BMI (≥ 18.5, < 24 kg/m2), SBP < 140 mmHg or females (all P for interaction < 0.0001).Conclusions TyG index was independently correlated with the increased risk of diabetes in Chinese adults, suggesting that TyG index may be a useful marker for identifying individuals at high risk of developing diabetes.

Different Levels

Even in individuals without diabetes, the incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) increases with the rise in fasting plasma glucose (FPG); however, the threshold of FPG for CHD in rural areas of China is unclear. We retrospectively examined 2,987 people. Coronary angiography records were used to determine the presence of CHD as well as its severity. Risk factors for CHD and the relationship between different levels of FPG and CHD were analyzed. After adjusting for age, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, drinking, chronic kidney disease, and previous ischemic stroke, the incidence of CHD in nondiabetic women began to increase when FPG exceeded 5.2 mmol/L (odds ratio (OR) = 1.438, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.099–1.880, p=0.008), and the degree of coronary artery lesions also became more severe (OR = 1.406, 95% CI = 1.107–1.788, p=0.005). However, no such correlations were found in nondiabetic men. In conclusion, among the nondiabetic women in rural areas of northern Henan, both the incidence of CHD and the severity of lesions increased when FPG levels were greater than 5.2 mmol/L, while no significant correlation between FPG and CHD was observed in diabetes-free men.
