Key result
Inadequate glycemic control linked to ~54% higher risk of incident hypertension in adults with diabetes.
Why the study?
Diabetes increases the risk of hypertension morbidity, but whether this association varies with glycemic control remains unknown.
Does insufficient glycemic control increase the risk of incident hypertension in adults with diabetes?
Cohort (n=436)
Yes
Does insufficient glycemic control increase the risk of incident hypertension in adults with diabetes?
Hazard Ratio: 1.54 (95% CI 1.07–2.21)
Absolute Event Rate: 55.18% vs 40.6%
p-value: p=<0.05
Insufficient glycemic control (HbA1c ≥ 7%) is associated with a significantly higher risk of developing incident hypertension among middle-aged and older adults with diabetes.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support risk stratification in diabetes; leaves open whether glycemic optimization prevents incident hypertension in trials.
Chen et al. (2023) conducted a cohort in Diabetes (n=436). Inadequate glycemic control (HbA1c ≥ 7%) vs. Adequate glycemic control (HbA1c < 7%) was evaluated on Incident hypertension (HR 1.54, 95% CI 1.07-2.21, p=<0.05). Inadequate glycemic control (HbA1c ≥ 7%) was associated with a 54% higher risk of incident hypertension (HR 1.54) compared to adequate control among adults with diabetes.
