Key result
Improving ideal cardiovascular health is linked to a ~58% lower risk of new-onset diabetes.
Why the study?
Do positive changes in ideal cardiovascular health status reduce the risk of new-onset diabetes in adults without baseline diabetes?
Cohort (n=50,656)
Do positive changes in ideal cardiovascular health status reduce the risk of new-onset diabetes in adults without baseline diabetes?
Hazard Ratio: 0.42 (95% CI 0.37–0.82)
p-value: p=<0.001
Improvements in ideal cardiovascular health metrics are strongly associated with a reduced risk of developing new-onset type 2 diabetes.

May support improving cardiovascular health metrics; leaves open causal effects on diabetes incidence in randomized trials.
Liu et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in New-onset type 2 diabetes (n=50,656). Positive changes in ideal cardiovascular health status (ΔCHS ≥2) vs. ΔCHS ≤-2 was evaluated on New-onset diabetes (HR 0.42, 95% CI 0.37-0.82, p=<0.001). Positive changes in ideal cardiovascular health status (ΔCHS ≥2) were associated with a lower risk of new-onset diabetes compared to ΔCHS ≤-2 (HR 0.42; 95% CI 0.37-0.82; P trend <0.001).
