The levels of glycemia were studied on an empty stomach, 1 and 2 h after a glucose tolerance test (75 g of glucose) in an organized population of 799 men. The character of nutrition was studied by a questionnaire method regarding all food consumed during a previous day using models of previously weighed meals and food-stuffs as well as standard plates, spoons, glasses, etc. An analysis of the results obtained revealed the following peculiarities: in young patients (under 40) the level of glycemia was associated with excessive consumption of carbohydrates, especially starch; in the older age group (40-59) the level of glycemia showed positive correlation with the amount of consumed fats, protein, especially animal protein.
