AI Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the occurrence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and impaired glucose regulation (IGR) in elderly patients, comparing those with hypertension to those without over a 10-year follow-up.
- During the follow-up, 27.6% of patients with hypertension developed new-onset diabetes, compared to 18.7% in the non-hypertensive group, indicating a significantly higher risk associated with hypertension.
- The analysis identified dyslipidemia and hypertension as independent risk factors for both T2DM and abnormal glucose metabolism among the elderly.
Article Abstract
Objective: To explore the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and impaired glucose regulation (IGR) among elderly patients with and without hypertension during a follow-up period of 10 years.
Methods: The subjects were elderly patients (> 60 years old) undergoing annual health examinations at our hospital. And the previously diagnosed T2DM and IGR patients were excluded. And the incidence and risk factors were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method and COX's proportional hazard.
Results: Among a total of 1136 subjects, 582 were enrolled. They were divided into essential hypertension group (HT, n = 384) and non-essential hypertension group (NHT, n = 198) (including new-onset 67 subjects). During a 10-year follow-up, the incidence of new-onset diabetes was 27.6% in HT group and 18.7% in NHT group (HR = 1.48; 95%CI: (1.07 - 2.04), P < 0.05). And the incidence density of T2DM were 33.8‰ and 20.6‰ respectively in two groups. There was no difference in the prevalence of IGR among HT and NHT groups and no difference was found in the prevalence of T2DM or IGR among new-onset HT and NHT groups. The independent risk factors of T2DM was dyslipidemia (HR = 1.459; 95%CI: 1.027 - 2.072, P < 0.05) and hypertension (HR = 1.516; 95%CI: 1.039 - 2.212, P < 0.05) based upon the COX's proportional hazard analysis. Dyslipidemia (HR = 1.545; 95%CI: 1.087 - 2.195, P < 0.05) and hypertension (HR = 1.524; 95%CI: 1.044 - 2.224, P < 0.05) were also independent risk factors of abnormal glycometabolism (T2DM and IGR). Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that the accumulative incidence of DM and abnormal glycometabolism was different between the HT and NHT groups.
Conclusion: The DM risk is 1.516 folds higher in elderly patients with HT than in those without. According to multivariate analysis, hypertension and dyslipidemia are independent risk factors of T2DM and abnormal glycometabolism (T2DM and IGR).

Objective: Relationships among coworker and patient visibility, reactions to physical work environment, and work stress in ICU nurses are explored.
Background: Millions of dollars are invested annually in the building or remodeling of ICUs, yet there is a gap in understanding relationships between the physical layout of nursing units and work stress.
Methods: Using a cross-sectional, correlational, exploratory, predictive design, relationships among variables were studied in a diverse sample of ICU nurses.

Background: Bangladesh and West Bengal, India, are 2 densely populated South Asian neighboring regions with many socioeconomic and cultural similarities. In dealing with breast cancer (BC)-related issues, statistics show that people from these regions are having similar problems and fates. According to the Global Cancer Statistics 2020 and 2012 reports, for BC (particularly female BC), the age-standardized incidence rate is approximately 22 to 25 per 100,000 people, and the age-standardized mortality rate is approximately 11 to 13 per 100,000 for these areas.
