Why the study?
Does elevated blood pressure increase the risk of new-onset diabetes?
Does elevated blood pressure increase the risk of new-onset diabetes?
Elevated blood pressure is associated with an increased risk of new-onset diabetes, though this risk attenuates with increasing age and BMI.
Elevated BP signals higher diabetes risk, strongest in younger lean patients; leaves open causal prevention potential.
People with elevated BP are at increased risk of diabetes. The strength of the association declined with increasing body mass index and age. Further research should determine if the observed risk is modifiable.
