Carbohydrate metabolism was tested in 2468 subjects (male and female) aged 20 to 69 living in one of Moscow districts by means of standard oral glucose tolerance test. Primary screening was carried out in 1979, repeated in 1989. The results indicate an evident increase in the incidence of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus both among men and women. The disease incidence in women was reliably higher than in age-matched men. Prevalence of the condition among women was characterized by a lower, in comparison with that among men, parameters of its time course.
