Objectives To systematically review the risk factors associated with prediabetes, and to provide reference for prevention and treatment of diabetes mellitus and health education.Methods PubMed, EMbase, SinoMed, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect case-control studies on the risk factors associated with prediabetes from inception to February 20th, 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.Results A total of 13 studies involving 49 168 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: drinking (OR=1.31, 95%CI 1.04 to 1.65, P=0.02), hypertension (OR=1.75, 95%CI 1.11 to 2.76, P=0.02), abdominal obesity (OR=1.26, 95%CI 1.12 to 1.42, P=0.000 1), and waist to hip ratio (OR=1.77, 95%CI 1.27 to 2.45, P=0.000 6) might be the risk factors for prediabetes. However, dyslipidemia, smoking, physical activity, family history of diabetes, body mass index and waist circumference might not be risk factors for prediabetes.Conclusions Current evidence shows that drinking, hypertension, abdominal obesity and waist-hip ratio may be the influencing factors of pre-diabetes, while other related risk factors are required to be further studied. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify above conclusions.
