Significant values (p<0.05) are shown in bold typeface. Model I: FPG change categories (crude model). Model II: model I+baseline measurements of current smoking, family history of diabetes, education, BMI, WC, TG/HDL-C ratio and its change, TC/HDL-C ratio and its change, lipid drug and hypertension change categories. Model III: model II+2-hPCG change.
We defined the hypertension change category based on the first (1999–2001) and second (2002–2005) examination (yes/yes, yes/no, no/yes and no/no). AIC, Akaike information criterion.
*1st quartile (<−0.29 mmol/L); 2nd quartile (−0.29–0.06 mmol/L); 3rd quartile (0.07–0.39 mmol/L); 4th quartile (≥0.4 mmol/L); multivariate Cox analyses were conducted using age as timescale.
2-hPCG, 2 h post-challenge plasma glucose, mmol/L; BMI, body mass index; FPG, fasting plasma glucose, mmol/L; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; WC, waist circumference.
