Association of hypertension and long-term blood pressure changes with new-onset diabetes in the elderly: A 10-year cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To explore the correlation between new-onset diabetes (NOD), hypertension and blood pressure management among elderly individuals in China.

Materials and methods

A cohort analysis involved 1380 participants aged 60 years or older, initially free of diabetes in 2008, from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. Follow-up assessments occurred every 2-3 years. The relationship between hypertension, blood pressure changes and NOD was analysed using multivariable-adjusted Cox regression.

Results

By 2018, 102 participants developed diabetes, while 1278 remained without diabetes. The cumulative diabetes prevalence increased from 3.1% at 3 years to 7.4% at 10 years. Hypertension prevalence increased from 20.9% at baseline to 41.0% at 10 years, with higher rates
