- Abstract
We aimed to estimate the cutoff value of glycated hemoglobin (HbAlc, Ale) for fasting plasma glucose (FPG) of 126 mg/dL in the Korean adult population, using the 2011 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. A total of 5,421 participants without a history of diabetes and over 19 years of age were included in the analysis. A point-wise area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to estimate the optimal Ale cutoff value. Ale threshold of 6.1% produced the highest sum of sensitivity (85.2%) and specificity (90.5%) for FPG of 126 mg/dL (area under the curve, 0.941, P<0.001). Ale of 6.5% produced a sensitivity of 67.7% and specificity of 98.0% for FPG of 126 mg/dL. Considering Ale as one of three criteria for the diagnosis of diabetes and the specificity of an Ale cutoff of 6.5%, the current diagnostic criteria of Alc⩾6.5% might be acceptable in the Korean adult population.
