SCREENING FOR IMPAIRED GLUCOSE TOLERANCE (IGT)

这个子项目是许多利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 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。 本研究将测试以下假设：1）一小时葡萄糖激发试验将具有良好的预测效用，以识别IGT个体; 2）在亚特兰大的Grady卫生系统初级保健站点中，葡萄糖激发试验的示范性使用将以最小的成本识别许多患有IGT和心血管危险因素相关异常的非洲裔美国人; 3）IGT患者在两年后重新评估时，心血管风险状况将有所改善。

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.
