[Investigation and screening of glucose metabolism in essential hypertension patients without diagnosed diabetes mellitus].
OBJECTIVE
To obtain the glucose metabolic profile of patients with essential hypertension in China.


METHODS
This is an epidemiologic cross-sectional survey and screening study, 5 sites in China participated in. Patients with essential hypertension and without known diabetes mellitus(DM) answered the questionnaire and received in-site fasting blood glucose (FBG) determination and simple oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).


RESULTS
A total of 1,421 patients had the data of FBG and OGTT 2-hour glucose. Among them, The prevalence rates of newly diagnosed DM and impaired glucose regulation (IGR) were 22.9% and 64.4% respectively. Patients with newly diagnosed DM have higher systolic blood pressure, waistline, waist-to-hip ratio and plasma triglyceride.


CONCLUSIONS
Newly diagnosed disturbed glucose metabolic status is common among patients with essential hypertension without DM history, which had very low diagnose rate in routine work. We must pay more attention to the glucose metabolic status of patients with hypertension, especially the one with metabolic syndrome, OGTT should be as a routine procedure in the diagnosis of such patients.
