Outcome of intensive integrated intervention in participants with impaired glucose regulation in China.

Introduction: This study investigated the outcomes and identified influencing factors of intensive integrated intervention over 2 years in Chinese patients with impaired glucose regulation (IGR).

Methods: Adults in Beijing, China, were screened for IGR using the 75 g oral glucose tolerance test. Participants with IGR received lifestyle and health education; those who still had IGR after 1 year were randomly assigned to either a routine care group or to an intensive integrated intervention group.

[Association between chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular events in middle-to-old-aged Chinese population].

Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationships between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and cardiovascular events.

Methods: 2500 residents aged more than 40 years old were selected from Shougang community, Shijingshan district, in Beijing. 2315 of them took part in the survey.

[A community-based study on relations between metabolic syndrome and carotid atherosclerosis in a middle-aged population].

Objective: To explore the association between metabolic syndromes (MS) and carotid atherosclerosis and to estimate the predictive effects of MS under 3 different definitions.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2 community-based populations in Beijing, in 2008. 1266 subjects (598 men, 668 women), aged 45 - 69, were included in the analyses.

[Two-year follow-up for patients with pre-diabetes that reverted to normal glucose in the first year].

Objective: To investigate the natural outcome in the second year of the patients with impaired glucose regulation (IGR) that reverted to normal glucose tolerance (NGT).

Methods: 463 adults diagnosed as with IGR in the baseline survey based on the criteria of America Diabetic Association 2003 underwent treatment including health education. One and 2 years later blood samples were collected to examine the glucose and lipids.

Objective: To compare the accordance between the diagnostic criteria of metabolic syndrome (MS) by International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and that by Chinese Medical Association (CMA) Diabetes Branch.

Methods: An epidemiological survey on diabetes mellitus (DM) was conducted among 2344 residents in Shijingshan community, Beijing, aged >or= 40. 1870 of these 2344 people, 901 males and 969 females, without DM underwent physical examination, laboratory tests, questionnaire survey and oral glucose tolerance test so as to screen the MS patients by both diagnostic criteria.
