Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Point-of-care (POC) HbA1cbaseline

the measurement to diagnose pre-diabetes or diabetes; pre-DM is diagnosed if HbA1c is 5.7-6.4% and DM is diagnosed if HbA1c is ≥6.5%.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Office blood pressurebaseline

a measurement to screen for hypertension; BP will be measured for 2 times (1-minute apart) and will be in accordance to the Hong Kong Primary Care Office guideline (e.g. the choice of cuffs and positioning). The average of the two BP readings will be used for analysis and management. Elevated BP is defined as a systolic BP (SBP) of ≥140mmHg and/or a diastolic BP (DBP) ≥90mmHg

Body mass indexbaseline

a measurement for obesity. Body mass index (BMI) is calculated by weight divided by the square of height (BMI = weight (kg)/height(m)2). According the Hong Kong Centre for Health Protection, overweight and obesity are defined as a BMI of 23-24.9kg/m2 and ≥25kg/m2 respectively
