Aims  Cardiovascular risk is increased with glucose metabolism abnormalities. Prevalence data can support public health initiatives required to address this risk. The Cardiovascular Risk Factor Multiple Evaluation in Latin America (CARMELA) study was designed to estimate the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes, impaired fasting glucose and related risk factors in seven urban Latin American populations.

Association of Self‐Reported Familial History of Cardiometabolic Disease with Metabolic Syndrome in Apparently Healthy Urban Colombian Men
TLDR
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship of FH of CMD and of dyslipidemia and obesity with MetS in healthy men.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Impaired Fasting Glucose in Egyptian Adults , Menoufia Governorate
TLDR
Prevalence and risk factors associated with impaired fasting glucose in adult individuals and history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia and chronic viral hepatitis were significantly associated with higher percentage of isolated impaired fasting blood glucose in the logistic regression model.
Prevalence and Risk Factors associated with Impaired Fasting Glucose in Adults from Maracaibo City, Venezuela
TLDR
It is shown that the prevalence of IFG is similar to that of international reports, and is associated with a variety of risk factors, especially abdominal obesity, insulin resistance and low-grade inflammation, demonstrating the close link between adiposopathy and alterations in glucose metabolism.
Prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of diabetes and impaired fasting glucose in the Southern Cone of Latin America
TLDR
The prevalence of DM and IFG in the adult population of the SCLA is high and varies among cities, and these conditions represent a public health challenge since the rates of awareness, treatment, and control are still low.
Prevalence of diabetes and impaired fasting glucose in Peru: report from PERUDIAB, a national urban population-based longitudinal study
TLDR
The elevated prevalence of IFG shows that nearly a quarter of the adult population of Peru has an increased risk of diabetes, especially for middle-aged individuals and those with no formal education.
VASCULAR COMPLICATIONS IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES: PREVALENCE AND COMORBIDITIES IN 6 COUNTRIES OF LATIN AMERICA (A COHORT OF THE DISCOVER STUDY PROGRAM).
TLDR
It is shown that patients with Type 2 diabetes in Latin America are not reaching their glucose, lipids, blood pressure and weight targets, and the need for more aggressive risk factor screening as well as treatment is highlighted.
Evaluation of Cardiovascular Risk in Seven Cities in Latin America: The Main Conclusions
TLDR
The epidemiological data obtained in the CARMELA study complete the outlook of the cardiovascular risk in the authors' region and indicate the need of rationale urban health policies.
High Prevalence of Diabetes and Prediabetes and Their Coexistence with Cardiovascular Risk Factors in a Hispanic Community
TLDR
Those with previously diagnosed DM, undiagnosed DM, and prediabetes had more adverse cardiovascular risk factor profiles, characterized by a higher prevalence of general and abdominal obesity, hypertension, low HDL cholesterol, elevated LDL cholesterol, raised triglycerides, and elevated plasminogen activator inhibitor 1.

Preventive treatment strategies, which include multiple approaches, are required to overcome the burden of cardiovascular disease in diabetes and IGT.
Population-based incidence rates and risk factors for type 2 diabetes in white individuals: the Bruneck study.
TLDR
It is concluded that approximately 1% of European white individuals aged 40-79 years develop type 2 diabetes annually and that "subdiabetic" hyperglycemia, obesity, insulin resistance, and impaired insulin response to glucose are independent predictors of diabetes.

TLDR
To compare risk of all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality associated with different criteria for undiagnosed diabetes and glucose tolerance, a large pooled sample of patients with and without diabetes was enrolled.

TLDR
The high prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity in Mexicans is associated with markedly increased prevalences of DM and HT to levels comparable with, or even higher than, those in NHANES III of non-Hispanic Whites.

TLDR
A target-driven, long-term, intensified intervention aimed at multiple risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria reduces the risk of cardiovascular and microvascular events by about 50 percent.
The Prevalence of Diagnosed Diabetes Among the Elderly of Seven Cities in Latin America and the Caribbean
TLDR
There was a high prevalence of diagnosed DM among the elderly of the seven cities and the prevalence was strongly associated with BMI and low education, and the inclusion of these factors in policies and programs aiming to reduce the prevalence of diabetesamong the elderly is recommended.
