In this large community-based cohort of AAs, our results suggest that high plasma leptin and hsCRP, as well as low adiponectin and adiponectin-to-leptin ratio, are associated with higher risks of glycaemic progression. The findings point to the potential utility of these biomarkers in predicting and preventing glycaemic progression in this high-risk population.
