SCREENING FOR IMPAIRED GLUCOSE TOLERANCE (IGT)

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 这项研究将检验以下假设：1)一小时的葡萄糖挑战测试将对确定患有IGT的个人具有很好的预测作用；2)在亚特兰大的Grady Health System初级保健网站机会主义地使用葡萄糖挑战测试将以最低的成本发现许多患有IGT和相关心血管风险因素异常的非裔美国人；3)当两年后重新评估时，被确认为IGT的患者的心血管风险状况将得到改善。

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. This study will test the following hypotheses: 1) A one hour glucose challenge test will have good predictive utility to identify individuals with IGT; 2) Opportunistic use of the glucose challenge test in a Grady Health System primary care site in Atlanta will identify many African-Americans with IGT and associated abnormalities in cardiovascular risk factors, at minimal cost; 3) Individuals identified with IGT will have an improved cardiovascular risk profile when re-evaluated two years later.
