To evaluate the prevalence, timing, and clinical features of hypertension and associated cardiovascular complications in individuals with diabetes mellitus.
Assessed periodic workplace health examination records from 662 employed individuals with diabetes and 662 matched control subjects.
Evaluated blood pressure status relative to the onset of diabetes, body weight, and daily insulin dosage.
Compared rates of arteriosclerotic heart disease across hypertensive and normotensive subgroups within both cohorts.
Hypertension prevalence was 54% higher in diabetic individuals compared to matched controls, preceding clinical diabetes onset and occurring independently of overweight.
Diabetic individuals receiving 50 or more units of insulin daily exhibited a lower prevalence of hypertension than those taking lower doses.
Arteriosclerotic heart disease prevalence was twice as high in hypertensive diabetics compared to hypertensive controls, with no significant difference observed among normotensive subjects.
