This study aimed to determine the risk of CVD according to glucose tolerance status.
Methods: We ascertained cases with incident CVD in a population of 1752 men and 2273 women, 40 years old and over and free of CVD at the beginning of study, during a follow up with a median of 7.6 years. To calculate hazard ratio (HR) for CVD, we controlled traditional risk factors, including age, body mass index, waist, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, education, smoking, hypertension medication, lipid lowering medication and family history of premature CVD and diabetes.
Results: Cardiovascular events occurred in 197 men and 143 women. Its incidence density was 11.8 per 1000 person-years (95% confidence interval: 10.6 to 13.1) totally. Multiple adjusted HR in women with known diabetes was 3.88 (95%CI: 2.40 to 6.27) and with newly diagnosed was 2.34 (95%CI: 1.39 to 3.95) and the corresponding values for men were 1.72 (95%CI: 1.00- 2.95) and 1.52 (95%CI: 1.01- 2.31) respectively. Impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance increased 56% the risk of CVD in women (HR: 1.56 with 95% CI, 1.00 to 2.45), just in the age adjusted model.
Conclusion: All diabetic patients should receive primary prevention for CVD intensively, regardless of whether they are newly diagnosed or are known cases specially, females who have abnormal glucose metabolism.
