Bi J, Song L, Wang L, et al. - Findings demonstrate association of higher fasting blood glucose (FBG) variability with increased lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), at each index age.

• Participants from the Kailuan Study who did not have CVD at index ages 35, 45, and 55 years were enrolled and there were 46,018 participants at index age 35 years.

• For index age 35 years, those exhibiting high FBG variability carried higher lifetime risk of CVD (32.5%), vs intermediate (28.3%) and low (26.3%) FBG variability.

• Men but not women had increased lifetime risk of CVD in relation to higher FBG variability.

• At index ages 45 and 55 years, similar patterns were noted.
