Impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance. What best predicts future diabetes in Mauritius? (1/60)
OBJECTIVE: To determine if impaired fasting glucose (IFG; fasting plasma glucose level 6.1-6.9 mmol/l) can predict future type 2 diabetes as accurately as does impaired glucose tolerance (IGT; 2-h plasma glucose level 7.8-11.0 mmol/l). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A longitudinal population-based study was performed with surveys in 1987 and 1992 on the island of Mauritius, assessing diabetes status by the oral glucose tolerance test. A total of 3,717 subjects took part in both surveys. Of these subjects, 3,229 were not diabetic in 1987 and formed the basis of this study. RESULTS: At baseline, there were 607 subjects with IGT and 266 subjects with IFG. There were 297 subjects who developed diabetes by 1992. For predicting progression to type 2 diabetes, the sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive values were 26, 94, and 29% for IFG and 50, 84, and 24% for IGT, respectively. Only 26% of subjects that progressed to type 2 diabetes were predicted by their IFG values, but a further 35% could be identified by also considering IGT. The sensitivities were 24% for IFG and 37% for IGT in men and 26% for IFG and 66% for IGT in women, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: These data demonstrate the higher sensitivity of IGT over IFG for predicting progression to type 2 diabetes. Screening by the criteria for IFG alone would identify fewer people who subsequently progress to type 2 diabetes than would the oral glucose tolerance test. (+info)High amounts of genetic differentiation between populations of the malaria vector Anopheles arabiensis from West Africa and eastern outer islands. (2/60)
Polymorphism at nine microsatellite loci was examined to assess the level of genetic differentiation between four Anopheles arabiensis populations from Senegal, the high plateau of Madagascar, and Reunion and Mauritius islands. Eight of nine loci showed great polymorphism (2-16 alleles/locus) and significant genetic differentiation was revealed between all four populations by F- and R-statistics, with Fst estimates ranging from 0.080 to 0.215 and equivalent Rst values ranging between 0.022 and 0.300. These high amounts of genetic differentiation are discussed in relation to geographic distance including large bodies of water, and history of mosquito settlement, and insecticide use on the islands. The results suggest that historical events of drift rather than mutation are probably the forces generating genetic divergence between these populations, with homogenization of the gene pool by migration being drastically restricted across the ocean. (+info)Impaired fasting glucose: how low should it go? (3/60)
OBJECTIVE: Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) has been recently introduced as a stage of abnormal carbohydrate metabolism, but the evidence on which its glucose limits (fasting plasma glucose [FPG] 6.1-6.9 mmol/l) are based is not strong. The aim of this study was to determine if 6.1 mmol/l represents a clear cutoff in terms of the risk of future diabetes and in terms of elevated cardiovascular risk factor levels, and to examine the use of other lower limits of IFG. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A population-based survey of the island of Mauritius was undertaken in 1987, with a follow-up survey 5 years later. On both occasions, an oral glucose tolerance test was performed and cardiovascular risk factors were measured. RESULTS: Data were available from 4,721 nondiabetic people at baseline, and from 3,542 at follow-up. At baseline, blood pressure, lipids, and obesity increased in a linear fashion with increasing FPG, with no evidence of a threshold effect. The risk of developing hypertension at follow-up was greater for those people with baseline FPG > or =6.1 mmol/l (P<0.001). The risk of developing diabetes at follow-up increased with increasing baseline FPG, but there was little evidence of a threshold near 6.1 mmol/l. CONCLUSIONS: Cardiovascular risk and risk of future diabetes increase continually with increasing FPG, and there is no threshold value on which to base a definition of IFG. If a lower limit of approximately 5.8 mmol/l is used, the category defines a group more similar to the group with impaired glucose tolerance, with regard to total prevalence and the risk of subsequent diabetes. (+info)Decreasing prevalence of cigarette smoking in the middle income country of Mauritius: questionnaire survey. (4/60)
OBJECTIVES: To describe changes in the prevalence of cigarette smoking in the middle income country of Mauritius from 1987 to 1998, and to relate these changes to legislative and health promotion efforts over the same period. DESIGN: Questionnaire survey. SETTING: Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean with a population of about 1.2 million (about 70% south Asian, 2% Chinese, and 28% Creole). PARTICIPANTS: Data were obtained from 5072 participants in 1987, 6573 in 1992, and 6281 in 1998. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Prevalence of current smoking in 1987, 1992, and 1998, sales of cigarettes in Mauritius, and information on activities for control of tobacco. RESULTS: Self reported cigarette smoking has been decreasing in Mauritius since 1987, with the largest decrease between 1987 and 1992. From 1987 to 1998 smoking prevalence decreased by 23% in men and 61% in women. Smoking decreased across all age and ethnic groups and across different levels of income and education. Sales of cigarettes also decreased in line with smoking prevalence. CONCLUSIONS: The introduction of cigarette taxes, a limited health promotion programme, and the absence of massive promotional campaigns by the sole tobacco company on Mauritius have led to a striking and continued decrease in smoking prevalence and cigarette consumption on the island. (+info)Features of the metabolic syndrome predict higher risk of diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance: a prospective study in Mauritius. (5/60)
OBJECTIVE: To assess the independent and joint effects of the components of the metabolic syndrome, including leptin, which is a recently proposed addition to this syndrome, in predicting the cumulative incidence of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and diabetes among individuals with normal glucose tolerance. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: This prospective study involved 2,605 residents of Mauritius with normal glucose tolerance who were followed for 5 years for IGT or diabetes onset in relation to total and regional adiposity (BMI, waist-to-hip ratio [WHR]), fasting and 2-h 75-g oral glucose load glucose and insulin, total and HDL cholesterol, blood pressure, serum uric acid, triglyceride, and leptin levels. RESULTS: A multivariate logistic regression model adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, and diabetes family history showed a significantly higher linear increase in risk of IGT and diabetes in association with the following variables only: fasting glucose (odds ratio 1.89 [95% CI 1.51-2.34]), 2-h glucose (1.68 [1.50-1.88]), WHR (1.30 [1.10-1.52]), BMI (1.04 [1.00-1.08]), and serum uric acid (1.37 [1.20-1.57]). However, a nonlinear increase was seen with serum triglyceride and plasma leptin concentrations. No risk factors resulted in joint effects that were greater than expected from combining individual effects. CONCLUSIONS: Metabolic syndrome features independently predict a higher risk of diabetes or IGT in normoglycemic subjects but in combination confer no higher-than-expected risk of these outcomes. At higher concentrations of triglycerides and leptin, risk plateaus and even declines slightly. (+info)Mutation screening of the PPARalpha gene in type 2 diabetes associated with coronary heart disease. (6/60)
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) is a ligand-activated transcription factor belonging to the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. PPARalpha plays a key role in lipid and glucose metabolism, inflammatory response and energy homeostasis. The aim of our study was to screen the PPARalpha gene for mutations, and to test the genetic contribution of PPARalpha in diabetes and its vascular complications. The first two non coding exons and the coding region of the PPARalpha gene were screened by single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and sequencing in 74 unrelated Type 2 diabetic patients with history of coronary heart disease (CHD) (18 Caucasian and 56 Indian subjects). A total of 7 nucleotide variants were detected: two single amino acid substitutions, a silent mutation, four intron base changes. Association studies were undertaken in two populations of Type 2 diabetic patients from Pondichery and from France, to test the distribution of allelic frequencies for L162V (exon 5) and A268V (exon 7) polymorphisms. No association was found between these PPARalpha variants and diabetes or CHD. However, in the Caucasian diabetic male population with CHD, the Val162 allele carriers showed higher concentrations of total cholesterol and Apo B when compared to non-carriers (p =0.01 and p =0.005, respectively). A trend toward elevated concentrations of total cholesterol and Apo B was also observed in the Caucasian diabetic male patients without CHD carrying Val162 allele. In conclusion, it is likely that PPARalpha gene does not have a major role in diabetes and CHD in our populations, although we can not exclude a minor contribution of the PPARalpha gene to the risk of CHD associated with Type 2 diabetes through a modulation of atherogenic plasma lipids. (+info)Mutation analysis of a Mauritian hereditary breast cancer family reveals the BRCA2 6503deITT mutation previously found to recur in different ethnic populations. (7/60)
Mauritius, a small island some 855 km off the east coast of Madagascar, has a multiethnic population of about 1.2 million with a high population density of about 611 per km(2). The recent industrialization of the island seems to have been accompanied, in less than 10 years, by an increase of at least 30% in breast cancer incidence. We have detected the BRCA2 6503delTT mutation in two sisters of the same family of Indian origin but living in Mauritius for at least five generations. This mutation has been found to recur in geographically diverse populations and haplotype analysis has shown a common ancestry. The haplotype of the mutation found in the Mauritian family differs from that found in other populations harbouring the same mutation, suggesting that the BRCA2 6503delTT mutation most likely arose independently. (+info)Seroprevalence of cytomegalovirus infection in Mauritian volunteer blood donors. (8/60)
OBJECTIVE: To determine the seroprevalence of CMV antibodies in the Mauritian volunteer blood donor population and to establish a panel of CMV-seronegative blood donors. STUDY SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Five hundred and eighty four apparently healthy blood donors were screened for evidence of CMV infection by the complement fixation test. There were 551 males and 33 females with age ranging from 18 to 60 years. RESULTS: Complement-fixing antibodies were found in 93.5% of the blood donors. The prevalence was 93.1% in males and 100% in females. CONCLUSION: Our findings demonstrate that seroprevalence of CMV in the local blood donors is very high making CMV-seronegative blood very scarce. Therefore leucocyte-depleted blood should be used as an alternative to CMV-seronegative blood during transfusions. (+info)I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Mauritius" is not a medical term or condition. It is the name of a country, specifically an island nation in the Indian Ocean. If you have any questions related to medicine or health, I would be happy to try and help answer those for you!
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Indian Ocean Islands" is a geographical term referring to the islands located in the Indian Ocean, and not a medical term. However, I can provide some general information about these islands.
The Indian Ocean Islands include a diverse group of island nations and territories, such as Madagascar, Maldives, Seychelles, Mauritius, Comoros, Réunion (a French territory), and the British Indian Ocean Territory (including the Chagos Archipelago). These islands have unique ecosystems and diverse cultures, with flora and fauna that are often endemic to each island. Some of these islands face challenges in terms of healthcare access, resources, and infrastructure due to their remote locations and smaller populations.
In the context of medicine, particularly in relation to surgery, "reunion" refers to the process or state of separate parts coming back together or healing into a solid mass. This term is often used in the context of wound healing, where it describes the closure and joining of the edges of a wound. It can also be used in orthopedic surgery to describe the reattachment or fusion of broken bones after a fracture. However, it's not a common medical term and might not be found in general medical dictionaries or resources.
