    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between different levels of fasting blood glucose over 35-year old and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) in Han, Uygur and Kazak adult population from Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. METHODS: From October 2007 to April 2010, the present study was performed in 13 935 inhabitants among Han, Uygur and Kazak adult population of aged 35 years old and over by multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling principles from 7 regions in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous and we excluded the IMT over 0.9 millimeter, long-term out and the floating population. All subjects were measured fasting blood glucose and IMT values of carotid artery. The subjects were divided into three groups according to different fasting blood glucose levels: normal, impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and diabetes mellitus (DM) and we used the analysis of variance to compare the differences among groups of IMT. Multiple linear regression model was used to explore factors of carotid IMT. RESULTS: The IMT of males of Han, Uygur and Kazak were (0.81 ± 0.29), (0.71 ± 0.27) and (0.79 ± 0.21) mm respectively, the differences were significant (F = 88.50, P < 0.05) . The IMT in DM group ((0.82 ± 0.29) mm) was significantly higher than the normal ((0.77 ± 0.26) mm) and the IFG groups ((0.79 ± 0.27) mm) (F = 7.49, P < 0.05). The IMT of females of Han, Uygur and Kazak were (0.72 ± 0.27), (0.63 ± 0.25) and (0.77 ± 0.22) mm, respectively, the differences were significant (F = 173.93, P < 0.05) . The IMT in DM group ((0.75 ± 0.29) mm) and the IFG groups ((0.74 ± 0.26) mm) were significantly higher than the normal group ((0.70 ± 0.25) mm) (F = 10.46, P < 0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed that diastolic blood pressure (β = 0.101, P < 0.01) , total cholesterol (β = 0.056, P < 0.05) and fasting blood glucose (β = 0.023, P = 0.009) were independent risk factors of IMT. CONCLUSION: The level of fasting blood glucose was an independent influence factor of carotid IMT and had a positive correlation in Han, Uygur and Kazak population of Xinjiang Autonomous Region.
