Identifying the factors associated with prediabetes is necessary for the early detection and management of high-risk individuals with prediabetes. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors associated with prediabetes according to sex in Korean adults.
Using the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2015 to 2019, a total of 13,595 adults (5,565 males and 8,030 females) aged ≥20 years were included in the data analysis. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the factors associated with prediabetes according to sex in Korean adults.
In both males and females, age and a family history of type 2 diabetes were associated with prediabetes. In males, current and past smoking habits were associated with increased prediabetes. In addition, low-intensity physical activity and prolonged sedentary behavior were associated with a higher prevalence of prediabetes. Females with a lower education level (less than middle school graduation) showed a higher risk of prediabetes.
Sex-specific prevention strategies for prediabetes should be developed. In addition, older individuals and those with a family history of type 2 diabetes should be screened for prediabetes.
识别与糖尿病前期相关的因素对于早期发现和管理糖尿病前期高危个体至关重要。本研究的目的是确定韩国成年人中按性别划分的与糖尿病前期相关的因素。
利用2015年至2019年韩国国民健康与营养检查调查，共有13595名年龄≥20岁的成年人（5565名男性和8030名女性）纳入数据分析。进行逻辑回归分析以确定韩国成年人中按性别划分的与糖尿病前期相关的因素。
在男性和女性中，年龄和2型糖尿病家族史均与糖尿病前期相关。在男性中，当前和过去的吸烟习惯与糖尿病前期增加有关。此外，低强度体力活动和长时间久坐行为与糖尿病前期患病率较高有关。教育水平较低（初中未毕业）的女性患糖尿病前期的风险较高。
应制定针对糖尿病前期的性别特异性预防策略。此外，老年人和有2型糖尿病家族史的人应进行糖尿病前期筛查。
