目的：确定与非裔美国人异常血糖读数相关的特征，并确定更有针对性的社区2型糖尿病筛查方法的潜在价值。方法：在密歇根州底特律市的移动筛查活动中收集了7113名没有糖尿病诊断的参与者的数据。收集的数据包括性别、种族、年龄、自我报告的身高和体重、糖尿病总风险评分、血压和随机毛细血管血糖。结果：近9%的参与者随机血糖读数异常（RPG >= 160 mg/dL）。结果表明，年龄较大、血压升高和体重指数（BMI）与血糖读数异常显著相关。结论：这些发现表明，以社区为基础的糖尿病筛查针对50岁以上的高血压或BMI至少为25的成年人，可能会提高对非裔美国人异常血糖水平的检测。
Objective: To identify characteristics associated with abnormal blood glucose readings among African Americans and to determine the potential value of a more targeted approach to community-based screenings for type 2 diabetes.Methods: Data were collected from 7113 participants with no previous diagnosis of diabetes at mobile screening events in Detroit, Michigan. Data collected included gender, race, age, self-reported height and weight, total diabetes risk score, blood pressure, and random capillary blood glucose. Results: Nearly 9% of participants had abnormal random plasma glucose readings (RPG >= 160 mg/dL).Results indicated that higher age, elevated blood pressure, and body mass index (BMI) were significantly associated with abnormal glucose readings.Conclusion: These findings suggest that community-based screenings for diabetes that are targeted to adults aged more than 50 years who have high blood pressure or a BMI of at least 25 may enhance detection of abnormal glucose levels among African Americans.
