    The incidence of T2DМ will increase each year since the prevalence of people with prediabetes is even higher. This study is aimed to describe the clinical, biochemical, and metabolic characteristics of people with prediabetes, analyse the effect of insulin resistance (IR) and impaired β-cell function identified by the homeostasis model assessment values on prediabetes, and identify the risk factors for prediabetes, IR and impaired function of β-cell. The data for the study was obtained from workers of the Khoja Akhmet Yassawi International Kazakh-Turkish University (Turkistan, Kazakhstan). The final sample contained 419 participants aged between 27-69, including 237 healthy and 182 prediabetic individuals. Multivariable logistic regression models were computed. This study demonstrated prediabetes population has older age, a high median BMI and systolic blood pressure, high obesity prevalence, and dyslipidemia characteristics. IR and impaired β-cell function are positively correlated with prediabetes. Waist circumference, age, systolic blood pressure, IR, and poor β-cell are risk factors for prediabetes. Prediabetes is positively associated with IR and poor β-cell function. No model was found to describe IR risk factors in the population. Still, it revealed that age and total cholesterol levels could be used to predict poor β-cell function in prediabetic individuals.
