Dysglycemia and incident heart failure among blacks: The jackson heart study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aimed to investigate the associations of glycemic markers (hemoglobin A_1C [HbA_1C], fasting plasma glucose [FPG] and glycemic status [normoglycemia, prediabetes and diabetes]) with incident heart failure (HF) and its subtypes, among Blacks.

Methods

We included 2,290 community-dwelling Blacks (64% women, mean age 58 years) without prevalent HF from the Jackson Heart Study who attended the second exam (2005 - 2008). The associations between glycemic markers and incident HF (and subtypes including HF with preserved ejection fraction [HFpEF] and reduced ejection fraction [HFrEF]) were evaluated using Cox proportional hazards regression models, adjusting for risk factors and coronary heart disease.

Results

There were 119 incident HF event
