Popis: 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) is a validated marker of short-term glycemic control. We determined the reference intervals of 1,5-AG in different age groups and during pregnancy.Blood samples were collected from 2303 Euro-Brazilian healthy subjects: 580 children, 496 adolescents, 922 adults matched by age and sex, and 305 pregnant women in four gestational periods. Serum 1,5-AG was measured using an enzymatic reagent in an automated system.The calculated reference intervals (nonparametric, 2.5th-97.5th) for males and females were, respectively: children, 96-302 and 89-277 μmol/l; adolescents, 84-311 and 79-277 μmol/l; and adults, 80-260 and 62-241 μmol/l. Males consistently showed significantly higher concentrations than females. 1,5-AG reference intervals in pregnant women were 56-298 μmol/l at23 weeks gestation (n = 110), 37-166 μmol/l at 24-28 weeks gestation (n = 106), 34-155 μmol/l at 29-32 weeks gestation (n = 52), and 33-246 μmol/l at32 weeks gestation (n = 37). No significant differences in 1,5-AG concentration were observed between non-pregnant and pregnant women at23 weeks of gestation. A negative correlation (r = -0.287; p .001) between 1,5-AG concentration and age was observed.The reference intervals for 1,5-AG were affected by sex and age.
