Palmu S, et al. - Researchers intended to determine if there is an association between body surface area (BSA) and plasma glucose values during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). They performed an OGTT on 2,659 people at increased cardiovascular risk aged between 45 and 70 years, who had not previously been diagnosed with diabetes or cardiovascular disease. According to the Mosteller formula, their BSA was calculated. According to findings, BSA level displayed an inverse linear connection with the 2-hour postload plasma glucose (2hPG) in all categories of glucose tolerance when adjusted for age, gender, waist circumference, alcohol intake, current smoking, and leisure-time physical activity. In fact, the lower the study person's adjusted BSA, the higher the OGTT-based proportion of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes to 2hPG. Body size has a significant impact on standardized OGTT's results. Smaller persons are more likely than relatively larger sized people to be identified as intolerant of glucose.
