Association Between Glycated Hemoglobin and Coronary Artery Calcification in Middle-Aged and Elderly Chinese Checkup Populations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies have established that coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a robust predictor of adverse cardiovascular events.

Objectives

To examine the association between levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), an indicator of long-term blood glucose levels, and CAC in middle-aged and elderly Chinese populations undergoing routine health screenings.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted on 8,955 Chinese adults over 40 years of age who underwent physical examinations in the Department of Health Medicine at our hospital from January 2022 to July 2023. The odds ratios (ORs) of CAC in relation to HbA1c were determined using multiple logistic regression analysis, both as a continuous and categorical variable. Furthermore, dose-response relationships
