What are the Epidemiological Trends in HbA1c Levels?
Epidemiological studies reveal that HbA1c levels have been rising globally due to increases in risk factors such as obesity and sedentary lifestyles. There is also a significant variation in HbA1c levels across different ethnic groups and regions. For example, studies have shown higher HbA1c levels among African Americans and Hispanic Americans compared to Caucasians, even after controlling for other risk factors.
