Key result
Stage 2 hypertension was associated with a significantly higher 10-year incidence of diabetes compared to normal blood pressure (25.8% vs 11.1%; HR 1.60, 95% CI 1.30-1.96).
Why the study?
Does high blood pressure increase the risk of incident diabetes in Korean adults without diabetes?
Population
8,359 Korean adults without diabetes at baseline (age 40-69 years) from rural and urban areas
Comparison
Prehypertension, stage 1 hypertension, and stage… vs Normal blood pressure (<120/80 mmHg)
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
10 years

Supports diabetes risk stratification by BP level in Koreans; extends observational data but leaves causality and practice change open.

Baseline blood pressure has a graded association with the 10-year risk of developing diabetes in Korean adults.
Cho et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in High blood pressure (n=8,359). Stage 2 hypertension vs. Normal blood pressure (<120/80 mmHg) was evaluated on Development of diabetes (HR 1.60, 95% CI 1.30-1.96, p=<0.001). Stage 2 hypertension was associated with a significantly higher 10-year incidence of diabetes compared to normal blood pressure (25.8% vs 11.1%; HR 1.60, 95% CI 1.30-1.96).
