INS and prediabetes syndrome: We had reported previously that POP-ABC participants who maintained normoglycemia during 5 years of follow-up (nonprogressors), in comparison with progressors to prediabetes, were characterized by younger age; lower BMI, waist circumference, and blood pressure; lower bone mineral density; higher levels of physical activity (adjusted for food habits); higher insulin sensitivity and secretion; higher adiponectin levels; and lower uACR levels at baseline [20, 23, 52-55].
