[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST 373R0xPy. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. An increased albumin excretion rate (AER) is associated with impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus in some populations, but data on Americans of Northern European origin are lacking. In 1986-1987, AER and creatinine clearance were measured in 455 adults in a survey of the population of Wadena, Minnesota. Thirty-five subjects (8%) had an AER 15 mug/minute, and eight of these had overt proteinuria (AER 175 mug/minute). AER and creatinine clearance were uncorrelated except when AER was increased. Unadjusted mean AER in a stratified random sample of adults (n=374) was 3.6 mug/minute. Adjusted values for 277 subjects with normal glucose tolerance and for 80 subjects with impaired glucose tolerance were very similar (3.8 and 3.7 mug/minute, respectively), whereas mean AER was 5.4 mug/minute for persons with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) who were not taking insulin and 9.4 mug/minute for persons with NIDDM who were taking insulin (p
