Glycated haemoglobin could offer several practical advantages over the OGTT for assessing glucose metabolism. Initial cross-sectional studies (1983-1985) on 381 subjects (mostly Pima Indians) described the relationship between HbA1c (a specific glycated Hb) and the OGTT. We performed follow-up OGTTs and HbA1c measurements on 257 of these same subjects 1.6-6.1 years later. Subjects were again grouped according to both the result of the OGTT (normal, IGT or diabetes, by WHO criteria) and HbA1c result (normal or elevated based on mean +/- 1.96 SD of normal). Of 66 subjects with IGT at baseline, 47 (71%) had normal HbA1c and 19 (29%) had elevated HbA1c. Twenty-six (39%) of these subjects had diabetes at follow-up. Of these subjects with IGT, a significantly greater percentage of subjects with elevated HbA1c at baseline (68%) showed worsening to diabetes than those with a normal HbA1c (28%); (chi-square = 7.8, df = 1, p < 0.01). Thus, in subjects with IGT, glycated Hb may be a useful predictor of progression to diabetes.
在评估葡萄糖代谢方面,糖化血红蛋白相较于口服葡萄糖耐量试验(OGTT)可能具有几个实际优势。最初在1983年至1985年对381名受试者(大多数为皮马印第安人)进行的横断面研究描述了糖化血红蛋白A1c(一种特定的糖化血红蛋白)与OGTT之间的关系。1.6至6.1年后,我们对其中257名相同的受试者进行了后续的OGTT和糖化血红蛋白A1c测量。根据OGTT结果(按照世界卫生组织标准分为正常、糖耐量受损或糖尿病)和糖化血红蛋白A1c结果(基于正常均值±1.96标准差分为正常或升高)再次对受试者进行分组。在基线时66名糖耐量受损的受试者中,47名(71%)糖化血红蛋白A1c正常,19名(29%)糖化血红蛋白A1c升高。这些受试者中有26名(39%)在随访时患有糖尿病。在这些糖耐量受损的受试者中,基线时糖化血红蛋白A1c升高的受试者中出现糖尿病病情恶化的比例(68%)显著高于糖化血红蛋白A1c正常的受试者(28%);(卡方检验=7.8,自由度=1,p<0.01)。因此,在糖耐量受损的受试者中,糖化血红蛋白可能是预测糖尿病进展的有用指标。
