Diagnostic performance of questionnaires to identify individuals with impaired fasting glucose in Mexican adult population.
Diabetes Res Clin Pract
January 2023
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how well five questionnaires identify impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in a large Mexican adult population, using a standard definition of IFG (fasting glucose ≥ 100 mg/dL).
- It involved over 23,000 individuals from different cohorts, with results showing that IFG prevalence ranged from 14.4% to 48.1%, and the diagnostic effectiveness of the questionnaires varied depending on the cohort's IFG rates.
- Among the questionnaires examined, Rojas' questionnaire performed the best overall, with strong sensitivity and specificity, suggesting the need for more research on using such questionnaires for diagnosing prediabetes and undiagnosed diabetes in specific populations.
