Association of Insulin Resistance, Plasma Glucose Level, and Serum Insulin Level With Hypertension in a Population With Different Stages of Impaired Glucose Metabolism.

ABSTRACT: Background The interrelationships among the different stages of impaired glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, and hypertension are not fully understood. Methods and Results We investigated the impact of insulin resistance, plasma glucose, and serum immunoreactive insulin levels on hypertension in 19 166 participants with different stages of impaired glucose metabolism (7114 normal fasting glucose/normal glucose tolerance, 3543 isolated impaired fasting glucose [IFG], 2089 isolated impaired glucose tolerance, 2922 IFG plus impaired glucose tolerance, and 3498 diabetes mellitus]) determined by 75-g oral glucose tolerance tests. Participants were recruited from examinees who finished a general health checkup for atomic bomb survivors between 1982 and 2017. The profiles of plasma glucose an
