SCREENING FOR IGT

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目及 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 本研究的具体目的是：1）验证1小时葡萄糖激发试验作为糖耐量受损（IGT）的方便预测因子; 2）评估葡萄糖激发试验作为机会性筛查工具-评估在非裔美国人高危人群中确定IGT的容易确定的患病率和使用成本;以及3）确定IGT的鉴定是否允许降低心血管风险。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The specific aims of this study are: 1) to validate a one hour glucose challenge test as a convenient predictor of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT); 2) to evaluate the glucose challenge test as an opportunistic screening tool - to assess the readily ascertainable prevalence and costs of use in identifying IGT in an African American population at high risk; and, 3) to determine whether identification of IGT permits reduction in cardiovascular risk.
