Association of fasting glucose and glycated hemoglobin with the long-term risk of incident metabolic syndrome: Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES)

Aims Previous studies have proposed potential benefit of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) supplementary to fasting glucose in detecting metabolic syndrome (MetS). This study was to investigate an association of incident MetS with levels of HbA1c and fasting glucose.
