Context: The significance of associations between prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) activity in a Chinese population is not clear. Objective: The objective of the study was to determine whether DPP4 activity and active glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) were predictive of the onset of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. Design, Setting, and Patients: This was a 4-year follow-up study conducted in Sichuan, China. A total of 474 Chinese women and men aged 18–70 years were studied. Main Outcome Measures: All subjects were divided into 3 groups (normal glucose tolerance, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes) on the basis of their glucose metabolism status after 4 years. The DPP4 activity, active GLP-1, and glucagon were measured at baseline and 4 years later. Results: The baseline DPP4 activity was significantly higher in subjects who had progressed to prediabetes or type 2 diabetes compared with subjects who remained normoglycemic (P &amp;lt; .01). In a multiple linear regression analysis, baseline DPP4 activity and active GLP-1 were independent predictors of an increase in insulin resistance over a 4-year period (P &amp;lt; .05). Cox proportional hazards models revealed that DPP4 activity independently predicted the risk of developing prediabetes [relative risk 2.77 (95% confidence interval 1.38–5.55), P &amp;lt; .01] and type 2 diabetes [5.10 (95% confidence interval 1.48–17.61), P &amp;lt; .05] after adjustment for confounding risk factors. Conclusions: DPP4 activity is an important predictor of the onset of insulin resistance, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes in apparently healthy Chinese individuals. This finding may have important implications for understanding the etiology of diabetes.
