AB  - OBJECTIVES: Occupational and environmental pollution have become an imperative 
      jeopardy for developing devastating metabolic diseases. Limited animal model 
      studies have examined the impact of exposure to cement dust on metabolic 
      conditions. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of pre-diabetes and Type-2 
      diabetic mellitus (T2DM) among non-smoking cement mill workers. METHODS: This 
      epidemiological cross sectional study was conducted in the "Department of 
      Physiology, College of Medicine, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia" 
      during the period Oct 2016 to June 2017. Initially 310 cement mill workers were 
      interviewed; after the interview and clinical history taking, 186 non-smoking 
      cement mill employees were finally recruited. The cement mill employees were 
      exposed to cement dust-related pollution in a cement industry for eight hours a 
      day for six days a week. The mean age was 36.56 +/- 0.78 years, mean BMI was 25.70 
      +/- 0.29 m/kg2, and mean period of employment in the cement industry was 82.77 +/- 
      6.95 months. HbA1c was measured using the Dimension Xpand Plus Integrated 
      Chemistry System (USA). RESULTS: The cement mill employees were divided into 
      three groups: non-diabetics group, with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) <5.7%; 
      pre-diabetics group, with HbA1c 5.7-6.4%; and diabetics group, with HbA1c >6.4%. 
      Among the cement mill personnel, 79 (42.47%) were non-diabetics, 28 (15.05%) were 
      pre-diabetics, and 79 (42.47%) were diabetics. The prevalence of pre-diabetes and 
      T2DM among cement mill employees was considerably associated with the period of 
      employment in the cement industry (p=0.032). CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to cement dust 
      was associated with an increased prevalence of pre- diabetes and T2DM among 
      cement industry employees.
