Abstract

BACKGROUND: Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) has been recommended as a diagnostic test for prediabetes and diabetes. Here, we evaluated the level of agreement between diagnoses based on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) versus HbA1c levels and determined optimal HbA1c cutoff values for these diseases in youth and young adults. METHODS: ]), and 5.7% to 6.4% and ≥6.5% for HbA1c, respectively. RESULTS: were 5.6% and 5.9% in youths and 5.5% and 5.8% in young adults, respectively. CONCLUSION: in this age group.
