Aim: Hypertension and diabetes continue to be among the major public health concerns worldwide, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. The present study aimed to assess whether different blood pressure (BP) levels were associated with fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels using a national representative sample. Methods: A secondary data analysis was conducted using the data of an adult population from the state of Odisha, India, from the Clinical, Anthropometric, and Biochemical (CAB) survey (2014). The study population consisted of 54,477 adults aged between 18 and 70 years including 33,458 men and 21,019 women. Results: Quantile regression (QR) analysis was performed to identify associations of BP with FBG after adjusting for other confounding factors such as age, BMI, and Hb level. Distributions of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were different according to sex. QR revealed that FBG was positively associated with SBP and DBP from the 10th percentile to 90th percentile (p< 0.05) in men and women. Conclusion: FBG is positively associated with BP in Indian adults. |
