Impaired Glucose Metabolism Is Associated with Visit-to-Visit Blood Pressure Variability in Participants without Cardiovascular Disease

Table 2

Blood pressure measurements of participants with normal glucose tolerance, impaired glucose metabolism, and diabetes.

		NGT	IFG	IGT	DM
		5235	472	2795	1586
Number of visits						<0.001
Mean SBP	(mmHg)					<0.001
Mean DBP	(mmHg)					<0.001
SD SBP	(mmHg)					<0.001
SD DBP	(mmHg)					<0.001
CV SBP	(%)					0.032
CV DBP	(%)					0.565
Classified by SBP SD
High SD
Number of visits						0.105
Mean SBP	(mmHg)					<0.001
SD SBP	(mmHg)					0.058
Low SD
Number of visits						<0.001
Mean SBP	(mmHg)					<0.001
SD SBP	(mmHg)					0.047

Samples in the highest quartile were considered as having high SBP SDs and those in the remaining three quartiles as having low SBP SDs. CV, coefficients of variation; DM, diabetes; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; NGT, normal glucose tolerance; IFG, impaired fasting glucose; IGT, impaired glucose tolerance; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SD, standard deviation; versus NGT; versus NGT; versus NGT.
