|---|---|---|---|---|
| AGT (%) | 13.7 | 23.0 | 17.1 | P < 0.001 |

Glucose tolerance status was available in 879 children (98.2%). Eleven children had both IFG and IGT and these children were included in the IFG group. φ IFG includes IFG alone or IFG with IGT; ‡ DM was identified in 4 patients using the fasting glucose criteria while the remaining 11 patients were identified using the 2-h glucose in the OGTT; a chi-square test; * statistically significant with P < 0.05
