Abnormal glucose tolerance and blood pressure in Khon Kaen

Abstract

To quantify the association of abnormal glucose tolerance with hypertension, a population based study was carried out in subjects aged 30-65 years with oral glucose tolerance and blood pressure measurement compared with clinic based known diabetics. In males, subjects with diabetes (newly diagnosed and clinic based) had increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure with clinical significance compared to normal. The diastolic blood pressure in diabetic males was higher than normal but was not different from IGT. In females, the differences were observed between normal vs IGT, and diabetes. The differences were independent of age and obesity. The prevalence of hypertension also increased in diabetic patients, especially for systolic hypertension.
