title: [Essential hypertension: a predictor of the 6 year-incidence of NIDDM in 465 non-diabetics].
abstract: The effect of essential hypertension at baseline on the development of NIDDM within 6 years was investigated in 465 Chinese nondiabetics with or without hypertension. The age, sex adjusted 6 year incidence of NIDDM in hypertensive group (BP > 18.7 +/- 12. okPa (140/90 mmHg) or treated with antihypertensives) at baseline was significantly higher than that in normotensive group (44.6%, n = 325, P < 0.05) at baseline. Multivariate regression analysis showed the hypertensive group had higher risk of worsening to diabetes compared with normotensives (OR: 1.82, 95% Ci: 1.03-3.21, P < 0.05) after the adjustment for two other important risk factors for NIDDM, the fasting plasma glucose and BMI. Further more the increasement of SBP by 20 mmHg at baseline significantly increase the risk for NIDDM in the followup period in the blood-lowering-drug-free group (OR: 1.54, 95% Ci: 1.05-2.24, P < 0.05). Thus it confirmed that hypertension at baseline was an independent predictor for NIDDM. In addition, our observation showed that some antihypertensive drugs appears also to play an unfavorable role in the occurrence of NIDDM.
