Study typeScreening
Scientific title
Study objectivesSystematic screening for type 2 diabetes in high-risk obese subjects, identified from the general population, can significantly reduce the diabetes-related cardiovascular morbidity and mortality by at least 25% compared with not offering a screening program.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedDiabetes Mellitus type 2 (DM type II)
InterventionSubjects will be randomized into a screening group or a control group. All subjects who have been allocated to the screening group will be invited for screening which comprises a fasting plasma glucose (FPG) test. Additionally, serum triglycerides, total-cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol will be measured. LDL-cholesterol will be calculated using the Friedewald equation. Those subjects with diabetes (FPG of 7.0 mmol/l or higher) or impaired fasting glucose (FPG between 5.7-6.9 mol/l) will be referred to the general practitioner for further diagnostic testing and/or treatment for type 2 diabetes according to Dutch College of General Practitioners (NHG) guidelines. Individuals with normal FPG (5.6 mmol/l or lower) will be invited for re-screening after four years. All subjects in both groups will receive written lifestyle intervention advice.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality based on the first occurrence of a non-fatal cardiovascular event (coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular accident, and death from any other disease of the circulatory system)
2. All cause mortality
Secondary outcome measures1. Prevalence of unknown type 2 diabetes detected by screening
2. Screening performance: attendance, referral and detection rates, and test characteristics
3. Contamination rates
4. Change over time in the level of blood parameters: glucose, lipids, glycated haemoglobin and blood pressure in diabetic subjects
5. Change or improvement in the cardiovascular risk profile after screen-detected diabetes and comparisons with control arm
6. Modifications in lifestyle (diet, physical activity level, smoking) in both type 2 diabetes cases and those with impaired fasting glucose (IFG)
7. Cost aspects
