ARTICLE

Identification of Persons at High Risk for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Do We Need the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test?

right arrow Michael P. Stern, MD; Ken Williams, MS; and Steven M. Haffner, MD, MPH

16 April 2002 | Volume 136 Issue 8 | Pages 575-581

Background: The standard method of identifying persons at high risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus involves detection of impaired glucose tolerance, which requires a costly and inconvenient 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test. Because clinical trials have indicated that diabetes is preventable by using behavioral or pharmacologic interventions, less expensive methods of identifying high-risk persons are needed.

Objective: To determine whether multivariable models are superior to glucose tolerance tests for identifying persons at high risk for diabetes mellitus.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Setting: San Antonio, Texas.

Participants: 1791 Mexican Americans and 1112 non-Hispanic whites without diabetes at baseline who were randomly selected from census tracts.

Measurements: Medical history; body mass index; blood pressure; fasting and 2-hour plasma glucose levels; fasting serum total, low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels; and triglyceride level.

Results: For prediction of 7.5-year incidence of type 2 diabetes, the area under the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve for a multivariable model involving readily available clinical variables was significantly (P < 0.001) greater than the area under the ROC curve for the 2-hour glucose value alone (84.3% vs. 77.5%). Impaired glucose tolerance represents a single point on the latter curve. Adding the 2-hour glucose measurement to the multivariable model increased the area under its ROC curve, but only from 84.3% to 85.7%.

Conclusion: Persons at high risk for diabetes mellitus are better identified by using a simple prediction model than by relying exclusively on the results of a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test. Although adding the 2-hour glucose variable to the model enhanced prediction, the resulting slight improvement entails greater cost and inconvenience.


Editors' Notes
space

Context

  • Lifestyle and pharmaceutical interventions can prevent overt diabetes in people with impaired glucose tolerance.
  • Oral glucose tolerance testing is the reference standard for identifying impaired glucose tolerance, but it is inconvenient and relatively expensive.

Contribution

  • The authors developed multivariable models that use readily available clinical variables to predict the development of diabetes.
  • The models were more accurate than oral glucose tolerance testing alone.
  • Adding results of oral glucose tolerance testing did not substantially improve the model's predictions.

Cautions

  • More than half the study sample was Mexican American.
  • Validation in other populations and translation for bedside calculation is needed before clinicians can use the model.
