| Abstract | Many studies have been performed to compare WHO and ADA criteria for detection of diabetic patients. This study aims to compare these two criteria in a community-based epidemiological survey in an urban population of Tehran, Iran. Materials and Methods: Subjects were chosen from among 15005 urban individuals, 3 years old and over, selected by cluster random sampling in the cross-sectional phase of a longitudinal study conducted in the east of Tehran; there were 3870 men and 5359 women aged 20 years and over. Those with known diabetes were excluded. Blood samples were taken after 12-14 hours overnight fast and 2 hours post 75gr glucose taken orally. Prevalence of glucose tolerance categories and the level of agreement (? statistic) were obtained using WHO and ADA criteria. Results: Based on WHO criteria 6.0% (0.95 CI, 5.5-6.5) had type-2 diabetes and 13.0% (12.3-13.7) had IGT (Impaired glucose tolerance). Using ADA, 3.3% (2.9-3.7) had type-2 diabetes and 4.8% (4.4-5.2) had IFG (Impaired fasting glucose); p | en |
