Why the study?
Does elevated blood pressure in young adulthood predict the development of type 2 diabetes in middle age?
Does elevated blood pressure in young adulthood predict the development of type 2 diabetes in middle age?
Blood pressure elevations precede the development of type 2 diabetes by 20-25 years, suggesting early vascular changes in the prediabetic state.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Young-adult BP elevation was associated with later diabetes; hypothesis-generating for early vascular changes, needs prospective confirmation.
Golden et al. (2003) studied this question.
