BACKGROUND: In humans, adiponectin has been demonstrated to circulate in inverse proportion to the degree of insulin resistance. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between adiponectin and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in a population-based study. DESIGN AND METHODS: Two hundred and ninety-seven individuals aged 30-75 years were enrolled in a cross-sectional study. They included patients with type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus and stable, good metabolic control (n=32) and individuals with glucose intolerance (n=54). Adiponectin was measured using a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (intra-assay and interassay coefficients of variation 3.3 and 7.4% respectively). RESULTS:Adiponectin correlated with age (r=0.161; P=0.006), body mass index (r=-0.197; P=0.001), diastolic blood pressure (r=-0.181; P=0.005), fasting glucose and HbA1c (r=-0.251 and r=-0.22 respectively; P<0.0001), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (r=0.442; P<0.001) and serum triglycerides (r=-362; P<0.001). In multiple regression analysis, sex, age, fasting and post-load glucose, and adiponectin independently contributed to 40% of the variance in HbA1c. Among individuals with normal glucose tolerance, fasting glucose (P=0.0033), post-load glucose (P=0.0015), age (P=0.001) and adiponectin (P=0.0083) independently contributed to 21% of the variance in HbA1c. CONCLUSION:Adiponectin is significantly associated with altered glucose metabolism and independently contributes to the variance of HbA1c in a population-based manner.
