Glycaemic measures and risk of mortality in older Chinese: the Guangzhou Biobank Cohort Study.

CONCLUSION: Individuals with isolated higher 2h post-load glucose had a higher risk of mortality by 43% than those with normoglycaemia. Under-use of OGTT leads to substantial under-detection of individuals with a higher mortality risk and lost opportunities for early intervention. PMID: 31679008 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
