The Role of Circulating Glucose and Triglyceride Concentrations and Their Interactions with Other “Risk Factors” as Determinants of Arterial Disease in Nine Diabetic Population Samples from the WHO Multinational Study

摘要: In 9 of the 14 national samples diabetic patients assembled for WHO Multinational Study Vascular Disease in Diabetes additional laboratory data made it possible to relate manifestations macrovascular disease blood glucose concentrations as well diabetes duration and other potential determinants. five samples, serum triglyceride were also measured included simple multivariate analyses. Ischemic heart defined from Minnesota-coded EKGs standardized questionnaires was more strongly associated with than cholesterol concentrations, an association less notable non-insulin-dependent patients. not related single fasting plasma estimated this study. Stroke amputation much known ischemic disease, they both concentration at time Despite major variation arterial prevalence rates between collaborating centers, risk women appeared equal that men. The groups could be accounted only part by factors studied. Other factors, genetic or likely environmental, are contribute susceptibility and, if definable, may potentially preventable.
