However, existing data are controversial on the effect of ageing on both insulin sensitivity and beta cell function. SUBJECTS AND DESIGN: We enrolled 149 healthy, glucose tolerant and normotensive Caucasians (age 35 ± 1 years, body mass index 26.07 ± 0.44 kg/m2, waist-hip ratio 0.842 ± 0.009 cm/cm, mean ± standard error). A cross-sectional study was designed to examine the impact of age on insulin sensitivity and beta cell function. Their beta cell function (percentage B [%B]) and insulin sensitivity (percentage S [%S]) were estimated using the homeostasis model assessment. RESULTS: Simple regression analysis revealed that %B declined with age (P=0.008) while no relation was found between %S and age (P=0.769). A step-wise regression analysis revealed that body mass index and diastolic blood pressure explained 14.7% of variation in %S, white age, waist-hip ratio, gender, and systolic blood pressure had no influence on %S. Age, body mass index and diastolic blood pressure together accounted for 21.7% of variation in %B, with age being an independent variable. CONCLUSIONS: In the present study, we showed that beta cell function declined with age at a rate of about 1% per year. In contrast, insulin sensitivity was not affected by ageing. Our observations suggest that the age-related decline in glucose tolerance is primarily related to the loss of beta-cell function. |
