One-hour plasma glucose as a long-term predictor of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in a Chinese older male population without diabetes: A 20-year retrospective and prospective study

IntroductionElevated one-hour plasma glucose (1 h-PG) during oral glucose tolerance test predicts the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus and its complications. However, to date, there have been no studies investigating the predictive values of 1 h-PG for the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD...

description IntroductionElevated one-hour plasma glucose (1 h-PG) during oral glucose tolerance test predicts the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus and its complications. However, to date, there have been no studies investigating the predictive values of 1 h-PG for the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and all-cause mortality in the elderly population in China. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of 1 h-PG and two-hour plasma glucose (2 h-PG) to predict the risk of CVD and all-cause mortality in the Chinese elderly population.Materials and methodsThis retrospective and prospective cohort study was conducted using data obtained from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army General Hospital. All the non-diabetic elderly participants, who had plasma glucose measured at 0, 1, and 2 h during an OGTT (75 g glucose), were followed for 20 years. The primary outcomes were all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and stroke. Multivariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazard regression models were performed to examine the association between risk factors and outcomes and to estimate the risk of CVD and all-cause mortality based on 1 h-PG levels.ResultsA total of 862 non-diabetic male individuals were included. The median age was 74.0 (25th–75th percentile: 68.0–79.0) years. There were 480 CVD events and 191 deaths during 15,527 person-years of follow-up. The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 1 h-PG as a continuous variable was 1.097 (95% CI 1.027–1.172; P = 0.006) for CVD events and 1.196 (95% CI 1.115–1.281; P < 0.001) for higher risk of mortality. When compared with the lowest 1 h-PG tertile, the other tertiles were associated with CVD events (HR 1.464, 95% CI 1.031–2.080; P = 0.033 and HR 1.538, 95% CI 1.092–2.166; P = 0.014, for tertile 2 and tertile 3 compared with tertile 1, respectively), and the highest 1 h-PG tertile had a significantly higher risk of mortality (HR 2.384, 95% CI 1.631–3.485; P < 0.001) after full adjustment. Compared with 1 h-PG, 2 h-PG had similar abilities to predict all-cause mortality. However, 2 h-PG was less closely associated with CVD when examined in the fully adjusted model, neither as a continuous variable nor as a categorical variable. Conversely, 1 h-PG remained an independent predictor of CVD and all-cause mortality after adjusting for various traditional risk factors.ConclusionPatients with higher 1 h-PG had a significantly increased risk of CVD and all-cause mortality regardless of prediabetes status or development of diabetes at follow-up. The 1 h-PG level might be a better predictor of cardiovascular risk than the 2 h-PG level for the Chinese elderly population.
