[Associated cardiovascular factors of risk in borderline-diabetes (author's transl)]

In 1288 persons with reduced glucose tolerance (borderline-diabetics, recently discovered diabetics, which were never before treated) the cardiovascular factors of risk overweight (Broca-weight greater than or equal to 110%), hypertension (RR greater than or equal to 160 and/or 95 Torr), hypertriglyceridaemia (greater than or equal to 200 mg/100 ml), hypercholesterolaemia (greater than or equal to 260 mg/100 ml) and hyperuricaemia (greater than or equal to 6,5 mg/100 ml in males and 6.0 mg/100 ml in females) were determined and compared with the frequency of the same danger indicators of 564 persons with normal glucose tolerance. The borderline-diabetic, which is still being in the forefield of the fixed diabetic, shows a large number of cardiovascular factors of risk already and differed from the normal case of the same age by a significant accumulated occurrence of overweight, hypertension, hypertriglyceridaemia and hyperuricaemia. The diagnosis "borderline-diabetes" engages to look for more cardiovascular factors, especially in the both first thirds of life. The differences of associated factors of risk diminish with advance in years between the three groups.
