Background New diagnostic criteria for diabetes based on fasting blood glucose (FBG) level
were approved by the American Diabetes Association. The impact of using FBG only has not …

OBJECTIVE To study mortality in relation to fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and 2-h plasma
glucose levels within the normoglycemic range. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Data …

OBJECTIVE—To assess the relation between fasting plasma glucose (FPG) or 2-h plasma
glucose (2hPG) and mortality from all causes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and non-CVD …

OBJECTIVE—Under the auspices of the National Institutes of Health, American Diabetes
Association, and World Health Organization, expert committees lowered the fasting plasma …

Background—Although medical textbooks usually classify fasting plasma glucose< 70 or 80
mg/dL (< 3.89 or 4.44 mmol/L) as abnormal, the prognosis for patients with low fasting …

Background The contributions of fasting and 2-hour postchallenge glucose level to
cardiovascular events remain ill-defined, especially for nondiabetic adults. This study …

Background The issue of whether glucose concentrations below the diabetic threshold may
be predictive of increased cardiovascular risk has not yet been fully elucidated. The current …

Aims The relationship between 1‐and 2‐h glucose levels following an oral glucose
tolerance test (OGTT) and long‐term mortality was evaluated. Methods Over a 33‐year …

Background—Although diabetes is a well-known risk factor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular
diseases, the cardiovascular disease risk of glycemia below the current diabetic threshold …

The majority of previously reported studies of borderline hyperglycemia as a risk factor for
cardiovascular disease are based on post-challenge glucose levels, are limited to men, and …
