Key result
Among hypertensive subjects, impaired glucose tolerance was associated with a higher prevalence of hypertriglyceridaemia (38.9% vs 6.0%, p=0.038), hypo-HDL cholesterolaemia, and visceral obesity.
Population
120 hypertensive subjects and 80 age- and sex-matched normotensive controls, mean age ~55 years.

Supports closer cardiometabolic monitoring in hypertensives with impaired glucose tolerance; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation.
Cross-Sectional (n=200)
Absolute Event Rate: 38.9% vs 6%
p-value: p=0.038
Hypertensive patients with impaired glucose tolerance have a significantly higher clustering of cardiovascular risk factors, highlighting the need for intensive risk assessment and management in this population.
Adeseye A. Akintunde (2010) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension and impaired fasting glucose (n=200). Impaired glucose tolerance vs. Normal glucose tolerance was evaluated on Hypertriglyceridaemia (p=0.038). Among hypertensive subjects, impaired glucose tolerance was associated with a higher prevalence of hypertriglyceridaemia (38.9% vs 6.0%, p=0.038), hypo-HDL cholesterolaemia, and visceral obesity.
