Abstract
Aims The aim of this work was to determine the cumulative incidence and independent risk factors of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in a well-characterized cohort of Malays in Singapore.

Prediabetes was defined as an HbA1c between 5.7% and 6.4%, with no self-reported DM history or insulin/DM medication use. T2DM was defined as a random glucose level ≥200 mg/dL or HbA1c > 6.4% or use of insulin/DM medication. Age-standardized cumula..
