Age will help to spot diabetes and prediabetes conditions in adults better, a new study done by researchers from Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University have found. The study has been published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine recently.
The US based study found that screening all adults aged 35 to 70 years, regardless of weight, identifies the greatest proportion of adults with prediabetes and diabetes. "This approach will also maximize the ability to diagnose prediabetes and diabetes across all racial and ethnic groups, Northwestern investigators found," an official statement from Feinberg School of Medicine has said.
