Key result
High resting heart rate ≥65 bpm correlates with elevated HbA1c and greater T2DM incidence.
Why the study?
Increased resting heart rate independently predicts cardiovascular death and relates to chronic diseases, but community-based studies are rare.
Is increased resting heart rate associated with impaired glucose metabolism in a community population?
Observational (n=374)
Is increased resting heart rate associated with impaired glucose metabolism in a community population?
Higher resting heart rate is significantly correlated with worse glucose metabolism and type 2 diabetes, suggesting it may serve as a marker for metabolic and cardiovascular risk.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May flag cardiometabolic risk in community screening; leaves open causal direction and need for prospective validation.
Yeran et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Community population (n=374). High resting heart rate (≥65 beats/minute) vs. Low resting heart rate (<65 beats/minute) was evaluated on Incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and HbA1c values. High resting heart rate (≥65 beats/minute) was positively correlated with HbA1c (r=0.31) and associated with a significantly higher incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
