Objective: To investigate the association of high-normal blood pressure (BP) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) with the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) in two cohorts.
Methods: The Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening (K-NHIS-HealS, 2002-2003, follow-up until 2013) Study and the UK Biobank (2007-2010, follow-up until 2021) were evaluated. We used Cox proportional hazards regression models to evaluate the associations of high-normal BP and IFG with incident AF.
Results: In the K-NHIS-HealS and the UK Biobank, 2346 and 5314 incident AF events were recorded during the mean follow-up of 7.4 and 11.8 years. The adjusted HRs (95% CIs) for AF in the Korean and UK cohorts were 1.11 (1.02 to 1.21) and 1.07 (1.01 to 1.13) in individuals with high-normal BP; and 1.14 (1.04 to 1.25) and 1.10 (1.01 to 1.20) in individuals with IFG, respectively. The AF risk showed a dose-response relationship with BP and fasting blood glucose level. The risk of incident AF was increased by the combination of high-normal BP and IFG.
Conclusions: In healthy individuals, high-normal BP and IFG were important risk factors for AF. When high-normal BP and IFG were combined, the risk of new-onset AF was significantly increased. These findings may suggest that lifestyle interventions for high-normal BP and IFG should be considered to reduce the risk of AF.

Pre-impaired fasting glucose state is a risk factor for endothelial dysfunction: Flow-mediated Dilation Japan (FMD-J) study.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is associated with endothelial dysfunction. However, there is little information on the relationships of fasting blood glucose (FBG), including high normal blood glucose and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) with endothelial function. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between FBG level and flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) using a large sample size.

To explore the correlations of abnormal pulse pressure (PP) with the cardiovascular risk factors and cardiac functions by analyzing the distributions of abnormal PP in Han adults aged 18-74 years in Hebei, Zhejiang, and Guangxi province to provide evidence for health management. A cross-sectional study was carried out in three provinces of China. Multi-phase, stratified, unequal proportional and cluster sampling was adopted to investigate the data obtained from 12,795 Han adults aged 18-74 years.

Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in diabetes is a risk factor for arterial stiffness and cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the impact of a slightly high-normal glucose level remains controversial. We investigated whether slightly high-normal fasting plasma glucose (FPG) was independently associated with arterial stiffness in non-diabetic community-dwelling persons. We recruited 114 men aged 69 ± 9 years (range 40-89) and 208 women aged 68 ± 7 years (range 36-84) during their annual health examination in a single community.

Objective: The present study investigated the risk for future diabetes among individuals with high-normal glycemia (fasting plasma glucose (FPG) of 100-109 mg/dL) in an early middle-aged population.
Methods: We retrospectively observed a workplace cohort all aged 40 and followed the incidence of diabetes according to the FPG levels at baseline. A total of 901 non-diabetic males were included in the analysis.
