Background: Prediabetes has been associated with increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. However, no large-scale studies have been conducted in Mexico or Latin America examining these associations.
Methods: We analyzed data from 115,919 adults without diabetes (diagnosed or undiagnosed) aged 35-84 years who participated in the Mexico City Prospective Study between 1998 and 2004.
Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed prediabetes prevalence trends in Mexico from 2016 to 2022 using different definitions (ADA, WHO, IEC) after excluding known diabetes cases.
- The overall prevalence of prediabetes in 2022 was 20.9%, showing a downward trend for certain definitions, while HbA1c-based definitions indicated an increase, especially among adults over 40 and those with other risk factors.
- The findings suggest that, despite some decreases in certain prediabetes criteria, there is still a rising concern related to cardiometabolic conditions linked to prediabetes in Mexico.
Aging is believed to occur across multiple domains, one of which is body composition; however, attempts to integrate it into biological age (BA) have been limited. Here, we consider the sex-dependent role of anthropometry for the prediction of 10-year all-cause mortality using data from 18,794 NHANES participants to generate and validate a new BA metric. Our data-driven approach pointed to sex-specific contributors for BA estimation: WHtR, arm and thigh circumferences for men; weight, WHtR, thigh circumference, subscapular and triceps skinfolds for women.
