Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major public health issue worldwide. Red cell distribution width (RDW) has been reported to have predictive value in several diseases, including DM. Few data exist on the association between RDW and the prediabetic stage. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the association between RDW and prediabetes in adults in Sudan. This case–control study was conducted in Northern Sudan in 2022. The cases (n = 107) were prediabetic patients categorized according to the level of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), which ranged from 5.7% to 6.4%, while the controls (n = 107) were healthy participants. A questionnaire was used to collect the data. Standard methods were used to measure the HbAIc level and RDW. Logistic regression analysis was performed. The median (interquartile range (IQR)) of the RDW was significantly higher in prediabetic patients than in the controls (14.5% [13.8–15.3%] vs. 14.1% [13.6–14.7%], p = 0.003). Sex, educational level, occupational status, marital status, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, family history of DM, and body mass index were not associated with prediabetes. In the multivariate-adjusted model, higher age and higher RDW were associated with prediabetes. A positive correlation was found between RDW and HbA1c levels (r = 0.19, p = 0.006). In conclusion, this study supports the use of RDW as a predictor of DM.
