Abstract/OtherAbstract:
381 glucose intake normal curves were studied according to the Diabetes Data Group new classification in healthy persons between 10 and 80 years in order to assess the influence of the age upon the normal glucose tolerance. Such an influence, which was evident in all the subjects, turned out to be more important in women with respect to me. In fact, males showed an increase, per decade, of about 1 mg/dl in fasting glycemic levels, of about 6 mg/dl at 60', of 4 mg/dl at 120', while in females there was an increase of about 2 mg/dl in fasting glicemic values, of about 6 mg/dl at 60' and of about 5 mg/dl at 120'. No meaningful correlation between age and insulinemic values was found at all considered points, either in males or in females. The reasons of the decreased glucose tolerance with aging and of its different behavior in the two sexes are discussed.
