The impact of prediabetes on preclinical atherosclerosis in general apparently healthy population: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The hypothesis that not only diagnosed diabetes (DM), but also milder dysglycemia may affect the development of atherosclerosis still requires further study. In our population-based study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of prediabetic state on preclinical atherosclerosis and whether it may affect the cardiovascular risk (CVR) in the general population.
