Abstract

Objective: Pre-diabetes, an intermediate stage in the progression of type 2 diabetes (T2D), is characterized by impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), or both. Here, we estimated IFG prevalence in middle school students in Mamak province of Ankara, Turkey, and we evaluated related factors.
