Dysglycaemia and Other Predictors for Progression or Regression from Impaired Fasting Glucose to Diabetes or Normoglycaemia

Table 3

Odds ratios for independent predictors from the logistic regression for progression from impaired fasting glucose (IFG) at baseline to diabetes or regression to normoglycaemia over a 10-year follow-up period in women. Of 181 women, 21 developed diabetes over the follow-up period and 104 reverted to normoglycaemia. Data are presented as OR (95% CI).
