Ageing and associations of fasting plasma glucose and 2Â h plasma glucose with HbA1C in apparently healthy population. “FIN-D2D” study

In apparently healthy population, screened with OGTT, in older individuals compared with younger ones a particular HbA1c value implies slightly lower fasting glucose, but relatively higher 2 h glucose. These results need to be verified in different populations. The effects of age on relation between HbA1c and plasma glucose should be taken into account in classifying people into different dysglycaemia categories.
