Why the study?
Does high-normal blood pressure predict the subsequent development of type 2 diabetes in men over an extended follow-up?
Does high-normal blood pressure predict the subsequent development of type 2 diabetes in men over an extended follow-up?
High-normal systolic blood pressure (130-139 mm Hg) in mid-life is a significant, independent predictor of developing type 2 diabetes over a 35-year follow-up.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High-normal SBP may flag elevated diabetes risk in men; extends long-term cohorts but leaves causal effects open.
Stahl et al. (2012) studied this question.
