ObjectiveTo examine the prevalence of elevated fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and correlates among residents from Maogang, Songjiang District in Shanghai.
Methods Cluster sampling was used in Maogang and aged 20-74 years old residents were recruited from July to December, 2016.Questionnaire was used in face-to-face interviews to collect data on socio-demographic characteristics, dietary, behavioral and life-style factors.Blood sample was collected and FPG were measured.Chi-square test and logistic regression were used to examine the association between elevated FPG and associated factors.
Results A total of 6 217 participants provided blood samples and 6 165 were interviewed.Fifty-seven percent of the participants were female, and 88.9% of them aged between 45 to 74 years old.Among all participants, 9.2% showed elevated FPG.Multiple logistic regression showed that elevated FPG was significantly associated with increased age, increased BMI, central obesity, history of high blood pressure and family history of diabetes (all P < 0.05).Among the study participants, 597(9.7%) were reported to have been diagnosed with diabetes, and 58.1% showed elevated FPG in the survey.Multiple logistic regression showed that central obesity was significantly associated with elevated FPG (OR=1.72, 95%CI:1.14-2.60) among diabetic patients.
Conclusion The prevalence of elevated FPG is 9.2% among residents in Maogang, Shanghai and is positively associated with age, BMI, high blood pressure and family history of diabetes.
