N2 - OBJECTIVE - The objective of this study was to assess the association of inflammation with hyperglycemia (impaired fasting glucose [IFG]/impaired glucose tolerance [IGT]) and diabetes in older individuals. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - Baseline data from the Health, Aging and Body Composition study included 3,075 well-functioning black and white participants, aged 70-79 years. RESULTS - Of the participants, 24% had diabetes and 29% had IFG/IGT at baseline. C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels (P < 0.001) were significantly higher among diabetic participants and those with IFG/IGT. Odds of elevated IL-6 and TNF-α (>75th percentile) were, respectively, 1.95 (95% CI 1.56 -2.44) and 1.88 (1.51-2.35) for diabetic participants and 1.51 (1.21-1.87) and 1.14 (0.92-1.42) for those with IFG/IGT after adjustment for age, sex, race, smoking, alcohol intake, education, and study site. Odds ratios for elevated CRP were 2.90 (2.13-3.95) and 1.45 (1.03-2.04) for diabetic women and men and 1.33 (1.07-1.69) for those with IFG/IGT regardless of sex. After adjustment for obesity, fat distribution, and inflammation-related conditions, IL-6 remained signifi-cantly related to both diabetes and IFG/IGT. CRP in women and TNF-α in both sexes were significantly related to diabetes, respectively, whereas risk estimates for IFG/IGT were decreased by adjustment for adiposity. Among diabetic participants, higher levels of HbA
