Key result
Higher HbA1c is linked to increased CVD events and all-cause mortality.
Why the study?
The relation between haemoglobin A1c concentrations and coronary heart disease events, cardiovascular disease events, and all-cause mortality was not well defined.

What is the relation between haemoglobin A1c concentrations and coronary heart disease events, cardiovascular disease events, and all-cause mortality in adults?
This cohort study investigates the association between baseline HbA1c concentrations and the long-term risk of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in a general adult population.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
HbA1c concentrations signal higher CVD and mortality risk; leaves open whether lowering levels improves outcomes in general adults.
Ronald J. Sigal (2005) reported a cohort. HbA1c concentrations was evaluated on CHD events (hospital admission or death from CHD), CVD events, and all cause mortality. Haemoglobin A1c concentrations were associated with increased cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality, though quantitative results were not reported in the truncated abstract.
