The participants underwent a physical examination and had their height, weight, waist and hip circumferences and blood pressure measured by trained personnel. Fasting blood samples were taken for measurement of glucose, HbA<jats:sub>1c<\/jats:sub> and lipids. The prevalence of diabetes (fasting plasma glucose &gt;\u00a07\u00a0mmol\/l) and impaired fasting glycaemia (fasting plasma glucose 5.6\u20136.9\u00a0mmol\/l) and major predictors of diabetes in Sri Lanka were estimated from the population\u2010based data.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Age\u2010adjusted prevalence of diabetes mellitus in this urban population was 20.3% in men and 19.8% in women. Through the present screening, 263 patients with diabetes and 1262 with impaired fasting glucose levels were identified. The prevalence of newly detected diabetes was 35.7% of all patients with diabetes. Among patients with diabetes, only 23.8% were optimally controlled. In the regression models, high <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">BMI<\/jats:styled-content>, high waist circumference, high blood pressure and hypercholesterolaemia increased the fasting plasma glucose concentration, independent of age, sex and a family history of diabetes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our data demonstrate the heavy burden of diabetes in this urban population.
