Abstract:
:Epidemiological risk factor patterns for diabetes mellitus determined by hemoglobin A1 and fasting blood glucose criteria were compared in the biethnic (Melanesian and Indian) nation of Fiji. The 2 diagnostic criteria elicited essentially similar risk factor patterns in Indians but ranking of predictors was altered in Melanesians. By either criterion age was a dominant risk factor for diabetes in both ethnic groups with age2 a predictor in Indians of elevated hemoglobin A1 (chi 2 = 7.8, P less than 0.005) and fasting blood glucose (chi 2 = 25.3, P less than 0.0001). Age- and sex-adjusted prevalence of diabetes was higher in Indians than in Melanesians [RR = 2.5 (1.9-3.3)]. A positive family history was associated with increased risk of diabetes in both ethnic groups by the hemoglobin A1 criterion [pooled RR = 2.3 (2.0-2.6)] but was not significant in Melanesians under the fasting blood glucose criterion. A positive family history was a strong predictor of severe hyperglycemia in both ethnic groups. The relative risk for diabetes was greater in females [1.5 (1.2-9.1)], with no ethnic difference. There was no urban-rural difference in either ethnic group. The similar risk factor patterns for diabetes diagnosed by hemoglobin A1 and severe hyperglycemia suggest that elevated hemoglobin A1 may constitute a useful screening test for 'high risk' diabetic subjects.
