Skogberg N, et al. - Among persons of migrant origin in Finland, researchers looked for disparities in the link between anthropometric measures and glucose levels measured with glycated hemoglobin and fasting blood glucose. For this purpose, they analyzed cross-sectional population-based data from the health examination of the Migrant Health and Wellbeing Study, and identified subjects (aged 30-64 years) without diabetes (293 of Russian origin, 184 of Somali origin, and 275 of Kurdish origin). A total of 653 non-diabetic participants in the Health 2011 Survey were considered as the reference group; these subjects were representative of the general Finnish population. Among persons of Kurdish origin, they found a small link between anthropometric measures and HbA1c. Based on findings, it is justifiable to exercise caution when screening for glucose impairment using HbA1c among persons without diabetes in populations of diverse origin.
