Results: IFG prevalence according ADA, adjusted by age: male 11,73; women 13,61 and total 12,64%; withouth difference by gender and increased with age.

In IFG according OMS: arterial hypertension (6,45), IBPAMS (4,07), HDL <40 mg/dl (2,95) and hypercholesterolemia (4,51) with frequencies of 72,73%; 54,55%; 36,36% and 59,09% respectively.
