Increased Risk

BackgroundMild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a transitional state between normal elderly people and dementia, with a higher risk of dementia transition. The primary purpose of the current study was to investigate whether routine blood and blood biochemical markers could be used to predict the onset of MCI.MethodsData was obtained from the cohort study on brain health of the elderly in Shanghai. A total of 1015 community elders were included in the current study. Based on clinical evaluation and the scores of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), these participants were divided into the MCI (n=444) and cognitively normal groups (n=571). Then we tested their fasting blood routine and blood biochemical indexes, and collected their general demographic data by using a standard questionnaire.ResultsBy using binary logistic regression analysis and the ROC curve, we found that elevated fasting plasma glucose (p=0.025, OR=1.118, OR=1.014-1.233) was a risk factor for MCI.ConclusionsElevated fasting blood glucose may be a risk factor for mild cognitive impairment, but the above conclusions need to be verified by longitudinal studies.

Abstract Background Diabetes mellitus is a major risk factor for microvascular disease, leading to chronic kidney injury or cardiovascular disease, but there is a tremendous proportion of patients worldwide who suffer from undiagnosed diabetes. Until now, little is known about the prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes in gastroenterology inpatients. Objective To improve detection of undiagnosed diabetes, a routine screening procedure for gastroenterology inpatients, based on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) measurement, was established. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of the implemented diabetes screening. Diabetes mellitus was diagnosed according to the guideline of the German Diabetes Association in patients with an HbA1c of ≥6.5% anld/or fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥126 mg/dL. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for undiagnosed diabetes. Results Within a 3-month period, 606 patients were eligible for a diabetes screening. Pre-existing diabetes was documented in 120 patients (19.8 %), undiagnosed diabetes was found in 24 (3.9%), and 162 patients (26.7%) met the definition for prediabetes. Steroid medication use, age, and liver cirrhosis due to primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) were identified as risk factors for undiagnosed diabetes. Conclusion The prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes in gastroenterology inpatients is markedly elevated in comparison to the general population, and a substantial number of inpatients are in a prediabetic status, underlining the need for diabetes screening. In addition to previously described risk factors of patient age and steroid medication use, we identified PSC-related liver cirrhosis (but not liver cirrhosis due to another etiology) as an independent risk factor for undiagnosed diabetes.

Abstract Context Although long-term glucose variability has been reported to be a risk factor associated with osteoporosis, there have been no previous studies between the relationship of glucose variability and fractures in people without diabetes. Objective We assessed visit-to-visit variations in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) as a prognostic factor in predicting osteoporotic fractures in individuals without diabetes. Design, Setting, and Subjects Using a nationwide cohort database, we examined the impact of FPG on the development of osteoporotic fractures in men and women (aged ≥50 years). Main Outcomes The primary outcomes were the number of total fractures and vertebral fractures. FPG variability was measured using standard deviation (FPG-SD), coefficient of variation (FPG-CV), and variation independent of the mean (FPG-VIM). Results Of the 92,929 participants, 5,262 (5.7%) developed osteoporotic fractures during the mean follow-up of 8.4 years. Individuals in the highest quartile of FPG-SD showed an 11% and 16% increase in risk of total and vertebral fractures, respectively, compared with those in the lowest quartile after adjustment for mean FPG and other risk factors. Analyses using FPG-CV and FPG-VIM demonstrated similar results. Subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses to explore potential heterogeneity showed consistent results. Conclusions FPG variability may be a novel risk factor for osteoporotic fractures independent of risk factors in the general population without diabetes.
