Popis: BackgroundPatients with comorbidity of hypertension and diabetes are associated with higher morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease than those with hypertension or diabetes alone. The present study aimed to identify anthropometric risk factors for diabetes among hypertensive patients who were included in a retrospective cohort study.MethodsHypertensive adults without diabetes were recruited in China. Demographic, clinical, biochemical, and anthropometric indices were collected at baseline and during the follow-up. Anthropometric measures included BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), and waist-to-hip ratio, and several novel indices. To estimate the effect of baseline and dynamic changes of each anthropometric index on risk of new-onset diabetes (defined as self-reported physician-diagnosed diabetes and/or use of hypoglycemic medication, or new-onset FPG≥7.0 mmol/L during follow-up), Cox regression models were used.ResultsA total of 3852 hypertensive patients were studied, of whom 1167 developed diabetes during follow-up. Multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that there was a graded increased risk of incident diabetes with successively increasing anthropometric indices mentioned above (all P
