There are arguments as to whether haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) better predicts Metabolic syndrome (MetS) than fasting plasma glucose.
The aim of the study was to explore the comparative abilities of HbA1c and Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) in predicting cardiometabolic risk among apparently healthy adults in the Tamale metropolis.
This study was a cross-sectional study conducted in the Tamale metropolis from September, 2017, to January, 2018, among one hundred and sixty (160) apparently healthy normoglycemic adults.
A self-designed questionnaire was administered to gather sociodemographic data.
Anthropometric and haemodynamic data were also taken and blood samples collected for haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and lipid profile.
MetS was classified using the harmonised criteria as indicated in the joint interim statement (JIS).
Out of the 160 participants, 42.5% were males and 57.5% were females.
FPG associated better with MetS and other cardiovascular risk markers, compared to HbA1c.
FPG had the largest area under curve for predicting MetS and its components.
This study shows a stronger association between FPG and MetS compared with haemoglobin A1c; it also provides evidence of a superior ability of FPG over HbA1c in predicting MetS and other adverse cardiovascular outcomes in apparently heathy normoglycemic individuals.
