Abstract
INTRODUCTION: performance to assess glycemic status among African American, Afro-Caribbean, and African people. METHODS: results were compared with other ethnic groups or validated against the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), or previous diagnosis. We classified study results by the risk of false positives and risk of false negatives in assessing glycemic status. RESULTS: of 6.5% or higher leads to underdiagnosis. CONCLUSION: cutoffs or other test strategies that account for risk profiles unique to African American, Afro-Caribbean, and African people living in the United States.
