Glycated Hemoglobin, All-Cause, and Cause-Specific Mortality in Singaporean Chinese Without DiagnosedDiabetes: The Singapore Chinese Health Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Analysis of 7,388men andwomen,mean age 62 years, from the Singapore Chinese Health Studywho provided a blood sample at the follow-up I visit (1999–2004) and reported no history of diabetes, previous adverse cardiovascular events, or cancer. A total of 888 deaths were identified through 31 December 2011 via registry linkage. Participants represented a random study sample of potential control subjects for a nested case-control Genome Wide Association Study of type 2 diabetes in the population. Hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause and cause-specific mortality by six categories of HbA1c were estimated with Cox regression models.

متن کاملGlycated Hemoglobin Predicts All-Cause, Cardiovascular, and Cancer Mortality in People Without a History of Diabetes Undergoing Coronary Angiography
OBJECTIVE Glycated hemoglobin has been suggested to be superior to fasting glucose for the prediction of vascular disease and death from any cause. The aim of the present work was to analyze and compare the predictive value of glycated hemoglobin and fasting glucose on all-cause and cause-specific mortality in subjects who underwent coronary angiography. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied...
