Adiposity and Diabetes Risk in Adults with Prediabetes: Heterogeneity of Findings Depending on Age and Anthropometric Measure.

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of age on diabetes incidence by general and central adiposity after 3-year follow-up in adults with prediabetes.

Methods: Data were taken from a cohort of 1,184 subjects with prediabetes included in The Cohort Study in Primary Health Care on the Evolution of Patients with Prediabetes (PREDAPS). General adiposity was defined using body mass index (BMI), and central adiposity was defined with waist circumference and waist to height ratio.

Association of General and Abdominal Obesity With Hypertension, Dyslipidemia and Prediabetes in the PREDAPS Study.

Introduction And Objectives: Some anthropometric measurements show a greater capacity than others to identify the presence of cardiovascular risk factors. This study estimated the magnitude of the association of different anthropometric indicators of obesity with hypertension, dyslipidemia, and prediabetes (altered fasting plasma glucose and/or glycosylated hemoglobin).

Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of information collected from 2022 participants in the PREDAPS study (baseline phase).

Cardiometabolic Risk Profiles in Patients With Impaired Fasting Glucose and/or Hemoglobin A1c 5.7% to 6.4%: Evidence for a Gradient According to Diagnostic Criteria: The PREDAPS Study.

It has been suggested that the early detection of individuals with prediabetes can help prevent cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of the current study was to examine the cardiometabolic risk profile in patients with prediabetes according to fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and/or hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) criteria.Cross-sectional analysis from the 2022 patients in the Cohort study in Primary Health Care on the Evolution of Patients with Prediabetes (PREDAPS Study) was developed.

Cohort Study in Primary Health Care on the Evolution of Patients with Prediabetes (PREDAPS): basis and methodology.

The PREDAPS study aims to determine the risk of developing diabetes and the risk of vascular complications in patients with prediabetes and identify factors associated with those risks. It is a prospective observational study of a cohort of 1184 subjects with prediabetes and another cohort of 838 subjects with no alterations in glucose metabolism. The data at baseline were obtained from patients attending primary care centers in Spain throughout 2012.

[Computer communication between an ambulatory centre and its hospital of reference].

Background: To analyse the demand for medical information requested by a primary care team from its hospital of reference over an 18 month period.

Material And Methods: Patients assigned to 5 surgeries of a primary care team, which had computerised clinical records available in its hospital of reference. In 1995 computerised communication via modem was set up between this team and the "Local Area Network" of its hospital of reference.
