Change in cardiovascular health and incident type 2 diabetes and impaired fasting glucose: The Whitehall II Study
Diabetes Care Aug 22, 2019
Climie RE, van Sloten TT, Périer MC, et al. - In this investigation involving 6,234 participants without previous cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes (T2D)— including 5,015 who were additionally free from impaired fasting glucose (IFG) at baseline—researchers explored the connection between changes in cardiovascular health (CVH) and incident T2D and IFG. CVH was examined every 5 years from 1991 to 1993 until 2015 to 2016 within the Whitehall II study. A total of 895 and 1,703 incident cases of T2D and IFG occurred over a median follow-up of 24.8 years, respectively. Investigators found that other patterns of change in CVH were linked to lower risks of T2D and IFG vs stable low CVH.
