The association of stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) with arterial stiffness: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT: Stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is used to assess the relative increase in blood glucose during stress and is associated with various adverse clinical events. There is evidence suggesting that SHR may be related to an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality. Arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events. However, the relationship between SHR and arterial stiffness has not been reported. This study analyzed the data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2005 to 2018. The calculation formula of SHR is [fasting plasma glucose (mmol/L)]/[1.59 × HbA1c (%) - 2.59]. Arterial stiffness was evaluated by estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV). The relationship between SHR and ePWV was explored through weighted linear regression, logistic regressio
