Key result
Fasting blood glucose was independently associated with the development of treated hypertension or elevated blood pressure over 7 years in healthy middle-aged men (OR 1.17; 95% CI 1.05-1.31).
Why the study?
Is fasting blood glucose independently associated with resting and exercise blood pressures and the development of elevated blood pressure in healthy middle-aged men?
Cohort (n=2,014)
Is fasting blood glucose independently associated with resting and exercise blood pressures and the development of elevated blood pressure in healthy middle-aged men?
Odds Ratio: 1.17 (95% CI 1.05–1.31)
Fasting blood glucose is independently associated with higher resting and exercise blood pressure and the future development of hypertension in healthy men.

Fasting glucose may flag hypertension risk in middle-aged men; leaves open whether targeting glycemia prevents incident hypertension.
Bjørnholt et al. (2003) conducted a cohort in Healthy (n=2,014). Fasting blood glucose was evaluated on Development of treated hypertension and/or elevated blood pressure (OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.05-1.31). Fasting blood glucose was independently associated with the development of treated hypertension or elevated blood pressure over 7 years in healthy middle-aged men (OR 1.17; 95% CI 1.05-1.31).
