Key result
Indian ethnicity linked to ~265% higher T2DM odds in patients with uncontrolled hypertension.
Why the study?
The association of type 2 diabetes mellitus with socioeconomic status and ethnicity has not been widely studied in populations living in Asia.
Are socioeconomic status and ethnicity associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients with uncontrolled hypertension?
Population
915 patients aged ≥40 years with uncontrolled hypertension in Singapore
Comparison
Different socioeconomic status proxies and ethnicities (Chinese, Malays, and Indians)
Design
Cross-sectional study

Ethnicity and SES may inform T2DM risk stratification in uncontrolled hypertension; leaves open prospective validation and intervention trials.
Cross-Sectional (n=915)
Are socioeconomic status and ethnicity associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients with uncontrolled hypertension?
Effect estimate: OR 3.65 (95% CI 2.25 to 5.91)
Absolute Event Rate: 56% vs 26.8%
p-value: p=<0.001
In patients with uncontrolled hypertension in Singapore, Indian and Malay ethnicities and lower socioeconomic status (indicated by housing type) are independently associated with a higher risk of comorbid type 2 diabetes.
Porhcisaliyan et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in uncontrolled hypertension (n=915). Indian ethnicity vs. Chinese ethnicity was evaluated on Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (OR 3.65, 95% CI 2.25 to 5.91, p=<0.001). Indian ethnicity (OR 3.65; 95% CI 2.25-5.91) and living in 1-3 room public housing (OR 2.00; 95% CI 1.16-3.43) were associated with higher odds of T2DM in patients with uncontrolled hypertension.
