Abstract:IntroductionHemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) measurement in epidemiology studies could be increased if reliability of measurements in frozen stored samples was known. In the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke, a longitudinal study of 30,239 Black and White U.S. adults, we investigated reliability of HbA1c measurements for two types of samples stored at -80°C for up to 14 years.MethodsAmong 917 participants without diabetes, HbA1c was measured in 2017 in frozen packed cells from the first visit (2003… Show more
