Abstract
The results of mass screening for lowered glucose tolerance by age, sex and race of 241,457 persons surveyed are given. Classifica-tion is made as normal, abnormal or borderline according to criteria defined in the paper and correlation between urine and blood sugar findings is briefly discussed. Prevalence of lowered glucose tolerance in the population tested increased almost on a straight line with increase in age, with the highest incidence of 7.38% in those over 70 years of age. There was a definitely higher prevalence of lowered glucose tolerance in the negro female than in the negro male, or the white male or female groups.Keywords
