Why the study?
Does high variability in blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, and BMI predict mortality and cardiovascular outcomes in the general population?
Does high variability in blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, and BMI predict mortality and cardiovascular outcomes in the general population?
High variability in metabolic and hemodynamic parameters (glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure, and BMI) independently predicts mortality and cardiovascular events in the general population.
High variability in glucose, cholesterol, BP, and BMI was associated with higher risk; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
High variability of fasting blood glucose and total cholesterol levels, systolic blood pressure, and body mass index was an independent predictor of mortality and cardiovascular events. There was a graded association between the number of high-variability parameters and cardiovascular outcomes.
