The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of social support on type 2 diabetes by classifying it into diabetes and impaired fasting blood sugar, a pre-diabetic state. Subjects of this study were 22,846 adults aged 30 years or above who agreed and registered to participate in the "Korean Health Examine Cohort (KOEX)" study that simultaneously collects questionnaires and biological samples at 8 university hospitals around the nation. Normal fasting blood sugar was defined as below 100 mg/dL, and impaired fasting blood sugar was defined as 100~125 mg/dL. Diagnosis of diabetes was defined as fasting blood sugar of 126 mg/dL or above, diagnosis by a doctor, or medication of insulin or oral hypoglycemic agent. Social support groups were divided into 4 groups, and Group 1 (G1) had high positive support and low negative support. This is the reference group with the highest social support. During multivariate analysis, female group (G3) that had high positive support and high negative support showed prevalence of impaired fasting blood sugar 1.19 times higher (95% CI = 1.02~1.41) than G1. As this study confirmed that social support increases fasting blood sugar of women after correction for socioeconomic status, health behavior, and biological and medical variables, it implies the importance of social relations such as social support in addition to management of personal risk factors for prevention of type 2 diabetes.

To establish prediabetes in vitro/ model concerning the etiology of Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) in cellular level we have designed experimental prediabefic model in pancreatic beta cells. RINm5F, HIT-T15 and isolated rat islets were chosen as pancreatic beta cells. Since interleukin-$1{\beta}$-induced beta cell cytotoxicity has been implicated in the autoimmune cytotoxicity of IDDM, we used inteleukin-$1{\beta}$ as diabetogenic agent. For establishment of prediabetic in vitro model, the degree of beta cell deterioration was determined by cell proliferation, insulin release and morphological appearance. Cell proliferation, insulin release and morphology were changed dose-dependently in condition that inteleuldn-$1{\beta}$ was exposured to pancreatic beta cells. The concentration and exposure time of interleukin-$1{\beta}$ to set up prediabetic model in beta cell lines and isolated rat islets were 100${\sim}$1000U/ml, 48hr. And 25${\sim}$100U/ml, 48hr, respectively.

Purpose: The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been shown to be associated with systemic inflammation in obese adults with metabolic syndrome (MetS). The aims of this study were to evaluate the prevalence of MetS and its relation to inflammatory markers in obese Thai children. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Children with history of endogenous obesity, chronic diseases, drug ingestion, and any acute illness within 2 weeks prior to enrollment were excluded. Their fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels, oral glucose tolerance tests, insulin, lipid profiles, and selected inflammatory markers, including interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels, were tested. Results: In this study, 58 obese Thai children (female, 20; male, 38) with a mean body mass index z score of $5.1{\pm}2.2$ were enrolled. The prevalence of MetS and prediabetes was 31% and 17.2%, respectively. None of the children had diabetes. FBG levels, 2-hour glucose levels, and lipid profiles were not statistically different between those with and without MetS. However, obese children with MetS had higher insulin levels and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance values. Elevated hs-CRP levels were found in 69% of the cases, although it was not statistically different between the 2 groups. Conclusion: We described a substantial prevalence of MetS in Thai obese children. Regardless of MetS status, two-thirds of the obese children had elevated hs-CRP level, indicating subtle ongoing inflammatory process. This chronic inflammation feasibly predisposes them to CVD in the future, even in children without MetS.

The relationship of abdominal obesity ("AO") with co-morbidity and mortality is well established. This study assessed the factors associated with AO, which was defined as a waist circumference ≥90 cm for men and ≥85 cm for women, in the group aged over 65 years. A total of 1,435 subjects were analyzed among the participants of the 2014 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Statistical methods for a complex sample were applied by using a SPSS program (ver. 25.0). AO was more frequently found in females. The results of the logistic regression analysis showed that heavy drinking (OR: 1.53), no weight training (OR: 0.68), stressful mental status (OR: 0.61), bad health-related quality of life (by EQ_5D, OR: 1.45), hypertension (OR: 2.18), prediabetes (OR: 1.94), diabetes (OR: 1.63), low HDL-cholesterol (OR: 1.86), anemia (OR: 0.55), and heavy energy intake (OR: 1.41) were significantly related with the prevalence of AO after adjustment for gender. Heavy drinking (OR: 1.89), bad self-rating of health status (OR: 1.72), low HDL-cholesterol (OR: 1.85), heavy energy intake (OR: 1.79), low intake of riboflavin (OR: 1.60) were still significantly related with the prevalence of AO after adjustment for gender and body mass index (BMI), this study suggests that certain characteristics of health habits, mental health status, and chronic diseases may be associated with AO. This study did not establish the existence of relationship between nutrient intakes, except for riboflavin, and risk of AO, but this study suggests that prospective research is needed to establish causal connections among those factors.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is one of common chronic diseases leading to severe health complications that may cause death. The disease influences individuals, community, and the government due to the continuous monitoring, lifelong commitment, and the cost of treatment. The World Health Organization (WHO) considers Saudi Arabia as one of the top 10 countries in diabetes prevalence across the world. Since most of the medical services are provided by the government, the cost of the treatment in terms of hospitals and clinical visits and lab tests represents a real burden due to the large scale of the disease. The ability to predict the diabetic status of a patient without the laboratory tests by performing screening based on some personal features can lessen the health and economic burden caused by diabetes alone. The goal of this paper is to investigate the prediction of diabetic and prediabetic patients by considering factors other than the laboratory tests, as required by physicians in general. With the data obtained from local hospitals, medical records were processed to obtain a dataset that classified patients into three classes: diabetic, prediabetic, and non-diabetic. After applying three machine learning algorithms, we established good performance for accuracy, precision, and recall of the models on the dataset. Further analysis was performed on the data to identify important non-laboratory variables related to the patients for diabetes classification. The importance of five variables (gender, physical activity level, hypertension, BMI, and age) from the person's basic health data were investigated to find their contribution to the state of a patient being diabetic, prediabetic or normal. Our analysis presented great agreement with the risk factors of diabetes and prediabetes stated by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and other health institutions worldwide. We conclude that by performing class-specific analysis of the disease, important factors specific to Saudi population can be identified, whose management can result in controlling the disease. We also provide some recommendations learnt from this research.

현재 임상에서 적용되고 있는 대표적인 당뇨 진단 기준에는 표준검사법인 경구당부하검사, 공복혈당, 당화혈색소가 있다. 그러나, 검사별로 판정이 일치하지 않는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 선별검사에서 행해지는 공복혈당과 당화혈색소를 이용하여 당뇨병 판정의 일치도를 구해보고, 유형별로 그 특성을 살펴 보았다. 국민건강영양조사 데이터(2015) 중 측정치 누락자, 당뇨병 기진단자, 공복 8시간 미만인 자를 제외한 20세 이상 대상자 4,502명(남성 1,956명, 여성 2,546명)의 자료를 이용하였다. 공복혈당과 당화혈색소 농도를 당뇨병 진단기준의 세 범주(정상, 당뇨병 전단계, 당뇨병)로 나누어 살펴본 남성 대상자의 분포에서 공복혈당 100 mg/dL~125 mg/dL이면서 HbA1c ${\geq}6.5%$인 대상자는 664명 중 23명, 새롭게 진단된 당뇨군 86명 중 39명은 공복혈당 ${\geq}126mg/dL$ 이면서 HbA1c < 6.5%로 나타났다. 판정의 일치율은 비당뇨군 80.3% 당뇨군 54.7%, 당뇨병 전단계에서 44.9%로 가장 낮았다. 코헨의 kappa 값은 남성의 경우 0.322, 여성의 경우 0.362로 일치도가 낮게 나타났고, 두 범주(비당뇨병, 당뇨병)로 나누었을 때 남성의 경우 0.582, 여성의 경우 0.637로 나타나 더 높은 일치도를 보였다. 공복혈당 <126 mg/dL이며 HbA1c < 6.5%인 군에서 연령도 낮고 대부분의 혈액 측정치도 낮게 나타났으며, 공복혈당 ${\geq}126mg/dL$ 이면서 HbA1c ${\geq}6.5%$인 군에서 남성의 경우 허리둘레, 혈압, 총 콜레스테롤, 중성지방의 수치가 높고 여성의 경우 ALT, hsCRP가 높게 나타났다. 남녀 모두 공복혈당 ${\geq}126mg/dL$인 군에서 인슐린저항성 지표인 HOMA IR값이 유의하게 높았고, <126 mg/dL인 군에서 인슐린감수성 지표인 QUICKI 값이 유의하게 높았다. 당뇨병 판정의 낮은 일치도 및 진단검사의 특성을 고려하여 관련검사의 병행 해석이 필요하다.

Objectives: Recently, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) redefined the criteria of prediabetes, which has lowered the diagnostic level of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) from 110 to 125 mg/dl, down to levels between 100 to 125mg/dl. The purpose of this study was to determine the predictive cutoff level of FPG as a risk for the development of diabetes mellitus in Korean men. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 11,423 (64.5%) out of 17,696 males $\leq$30 years of age, and who met the FPG of $\leq$125 mg/dl and hemoglobin A1c of $\leq$ 6.4% criteria, without a history of diabetes, and who were enrolled at the screening center of a certain university hospital between January and December 1999. The subjects were followed from January 1999 to December 2002 (mean follow-up duration; 2.3(${\pm}0.7$) years). They were classified as normal (FPG <100mg/dl), high glucose (FPG $\geq$100mg/dl and <110mg/dl) and impaired fasting glucose (FPG $\geq$110mg/dl and $\leq$125mg/dl) on the basis of their fasting plasma glucose level measured in 1999. We compared the incidence of diabetes between the 3 groups by performing Cox proportional hazards model and used receiver operating characteristic analyses of the FPG level, in order to estimate the optimal cut-off values as predictors of incident diabetes. Results: At the baseline, most of the study subjects were in age in their 30s to 40s (mean age, 41.8(${\pm}7.1$) year). The incidence of diabetes mellitus in this study was 1.19 per 1,000 person-years (95% CI=0.68-1.79), which was much lower than the results of a community-based study that was 5.01 per 1,000 person-years. The relative risks of incident diabetes in the high glucose and impaired fasting glucose groups, compared with the normal glucose group, were 10.3 (95% CI=2.58-41.2) and 95.2 (95% CI= 29.3-309.1), respectively. After adjustment for age, body mass index, and log triglyceride, a FPG greater than 100mg/dl remained significant predictors of incident diabetes. Using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the optimal cutoff level of FPG as a predictor of incident diabetes was 97.5 mg/dl, with a sensitivity and a specificity of 81.0% and 86.0%, respectively. Conclusion: These results suggest that lowering the criteria of impaired fasting glucose is needed in Korean male adults. Future studies on community-based populations, including women, will be required to determine the optimal cutoff level of FPG as a predictor of incident diabetes.

본 연구는 우리나라 충청지역 농촌 주민을 대상으로 고혈압전단계와 고혈압의 위험 요인을 파악하고자 2006년 1${\sim}$2월 사이에 보건복지부 질병관리본부 한국인유전체역학조사사업에 참여한 40${\sim}$70세 사이의 금산군 주민 994명에 대한 자료를 분석하였다. 전체 대상자 중 이미 고혈압의 진단을 받아 혈압강하제를 복용하는 170명을 제외한 824명을 대상자로 선정하고, 2003년 JNC7 보고서에서 발표한 고혈압 기준에 따라 정상혈압군, 고혈압 전단계군, 고혈압군으로 나누어 세 군간의 일반적 특성, 식습관 및 생활습관, 신체계측치와 체구성 및 혈액의 생화학성분의 농도차이를 살펴보았다. 조사대상자들 중 정상혈압군은 23.3%, 고혈압 전단계군은 39.7%, 고혈압군은 37.0%로 분포하였고, 혈압이 높을 수록 평균연령이 높았다. 고혈압 전단계군에서는 여자와 50대의 비율이 높았고, 고혈압군에서는 남자와 60대와 70대, 그리고 당뇨병전단계와 당뇨병에 속한 사람의 비율이 다른 두 군에 비해 높았다. 혈압수준별로 과거와 현재 흡연, 음주빈도, 음주량, 운동횟수의 백분율은 유의적인 차이를 보였으나, 흡연량, 음주유무, 운동의 규칙성, 식습관의 분포에서는 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않아 흡연, 음주, 운동 등 생활습관은 빈도가 양적인 면 보다 혈압에 더 영향을 미칠수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 체질량지수는 정상혈압군에 비해 고혈압 전단계군과 고혈압군이 높았고, 허리-엉덩이 둘레비는 고혈압군, 고혈압 전단계군, 정상혈압군 순으로 높게 나타났으며, 체중과 체질량지수, 허리-엉덩이 둘레비와 혈압간에는 유의적인 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 혈청성분 중에서 혈청 알부민, 크레아티닌, 공복혈당, 당부하 2시간 후 혈당, 혈청중성지방농도가 고혈압 전단계군과 고혈압군에서 정상혈압군에 비해 모두 높게 나타났고, 혈청 총단백은 혈압 단계별로 높았다. 혈압과 양의 상관성을 나타낸 요인은 위에서 언급된 요인들과 함께 혈중요소질소이었다. 혈압수준에 영향을 주는 위험요인에 대한 고혈압 전단계군과 고혈압군의 교차비 계산 결과, 남자, 50대 연령 과거흡연, 음주빈도, 체질량지수, 체지방율, 허리둘레, 허리-엉덩이둘레비, 당뇨병, 혈청 알부민농도는 고혈압 전단계와 고혈압의 공통 위험요인으로 나타났으며, 이들 모든 변수에서 고혈압의 위험도가 고혈압 전단계보다 더 높았다. 혈압수준별로 각기 다르게 나타난 위험요인은 고혈압 전단계의 경우 25 이상의 BMI와 혈청요소질소이었고, 고혈압의 경우, 60${\sim}$70대 연령, 교육유무, 고혈압 가족력, 당뇨전단계, 당부하 2시간 후 혈당, 혈청 총단백, 음주량이었다. 즉 고혈압전단계의 예방을 위해서는 음주, 흡연, 체중 관리외에 50대 연령에서 혈청 요소질소가 증가하지 않도록 섭취와 운동, 체중관리에 주의가 요구되며, 고혈압의 예방을 위해서는 특히 고혈압의 가족력이 있는 경우, 당뇨 및 혈당증가 방지나 음주량의 제한등 위험 요인을 줄이는 것이 중요하다. 결론적으로 고혈압 전단계의 위험요인에는 생활습관, 체지방, 혈청성분등 상대적으로 회복이 가능한 요인들이 관련되나, 고혈압은 회복하기 힘든 가족력이나 당뇨병 전단계 등이 위험요인으로 작용할 수 있음을 나타내었다.
