Advance of practical program for promoting the life style of impaired glucose tolerance.

糖耐量受损（IGT）可能代表了糖尿病自然史的一个阶段，因为这些IGT患者患糖尿病的风险比一般人群高。非独立型糖尿病（NIDDM）的患病率，根据最近世卫组织研究组的NIDDM标准分类和标准进行的基于人群的研究估计。不同人群之间NIDDM的年龄调整患病率存在许多差异。由于生活方式的现代化或西方化，许多非高加索人显然更容易患NIDDM，在这些社区中患病率已经达到很高的水平。初级预防包括旨在通过改变环境和行为风险因素或对易感个体进行具体干预，防止易感个体或人群发生IGT和NIDDM的活动。目前的大多数建议都是基于对NIDDM的视力威胁并发症的了解和促进身体活动。各项活动的预防战略旨在改变整个个人群体中因果风险因素的水平，而不考虑个人的具体风险水平。

Impaired glucose tolerane (IGT) may represent a stage in the natural history of diabetes, because those IGT are a high risk of developing diabetes than the general population. The prevalence of non-insulindependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) , estimated from population-based studies using recent WHO Study Group's standard classification of and criteria for NIDDM.There are many differences in the age-adjusted prevalence of NIDDM between the populations. Many populations not of Caucasian origin are apparently more susceptible to daveloping NIDDM,given modernization or westernization of their lifestyle, and prevalence has reached very highlevels in a number of these communites. Primary prevention covers activities aimed at preventing IGT and NIDDM from occurring in susceptible individuals or population through modification of environmental and behavioral risk factors or specific intervention for susceptible individuals. Most current zdvice is based on the knowledge of sight-threatening complications of NIDDM and promoting physical activity. Prevention strategies for activities are aimed at modifying the levels of causal risk factors in groups of individuals as a whole, without regard to the specific level of risk of the individuals.
