Hypertension in Women Triples Risk of Developing Type 2 Diabetes

Filed in archive Information , Notable , Research by Gloria Gamat on October 12, 2007

Independent of body mass index (BMI) and various factors such as age, ethnicity, smoking, alcohol intake, exercise, family history of diabetes, etc. already known to predispose people to cardiovascular disease and diabetes, women with high blood pressure (or hypertension) are three times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes.

Such were the findings of researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.

According to the study's lead author Dr. David Conen:

"Finding an independent association between blood pressure and new-onset diabetes is important, because it suggests that women with increasing blood pressure levels should have their blood glucose levels monitored.

Individuals at high risk for cardiovascular disease may benefit from early intervention."


The study's findings have been reported in the European Heart Journal.

The association between cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes has always been evidently proven. Therefore, especially women who have hypertension (making them high risk for cardiovascular disease) should seek intervention treatment as soon as possible in order to prevent developing type 2 diabetes eventually.

Find more details from Science Daily and the European Heart Journal Abstract.
