Abstract

This study investigated the relationship among fasting blood glucose levels and glycosylated hemoglobin, physical characteristics, blood lipid profiles, and physical activities in Korean adults. A total 6,712 non-diabetic adults aged 30~64 years from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey V were included and divided into normal and prediabete groups. To test the differences in the physical characteristics, blood lipid profiles, and physical activities between the prediabetes and normal groups, t-test, Chi-square tests, correlation, and regression analysis were used. Men had higher incidence of prediabetes compared to women. In addition, the prediabetes group showed higher BMI, waist circumference, and total cholesterol, but lower HDL-C and hand grip strength per body weight than normal group. Furthermore, the normal group participated more in strength exercise than the pre-diabetic group did for adult males. Therefore, to maintain proper blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels to the normal range, people should maintain their body weight within the normal range as well as participate in aerobic and strength exercise.
