General characteristics of 998 males and 768 females at baseline and follow-up*.
Figure 1.
Plasma glucose levels at follow-up across age stratified by corresponding baseline levels.
(A) Fasting plasma glucose at follow-up stratified by baseline FPG tertiles (low, middle and high) by gender. (B) 2 h post-load glucose at follow-up stratified by 2h PG tertiles at baseline by gender. All tertiles were ranked age- and sex-specifically. FPG, fasting plasma glucose; 2hPG, 2h post-load glucose.

Associations between baseline and follow-up plasma glucose and HOMA-IR.
Figure 2.
Association between baseline plasma glucose tertiles and incidence of prediabetes at the 6-year follow-up.
All subjects had normal glucose tolerance at baseline (n = 1699). Subjects who ranked in the higher age- and sex-specific tertile of baseline fasting and 2h post-load plasma glucose developed more prediabetes when they were 12 to 27 years old. PDM, prediabetes at follow-up; T, tertile of blood glucose at baseline. P<0.05 and p<0.01 compared with T1.
