Aim To evaluate the prevalence of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) aged ≥35-year-old in Shanghai Chengqiao Community with essential hypertension and risk factors.Methods 2 596 essential hypertension in Shanghai Chengqiao Community,aged 35～89 years (1 390 males and 1 206 females,mean age 52.5±12.6 years) were recruited in the study.Their medical history,blood pressure,height,weight,waist circumference (WC),hip circumference (HC),fasting plasma glucose (FPG),TC,TG,LDLC,HDLC were detected and analyzed.Results Including 2 596 essential hypertension,there are 1 561 patients whose FPG<5.6 mmol/L and 817 patients whose FPG between 5.6 mmol/L and 6.9 mmol/L.And FPG of 218 patients>6.9 mmol/L.The abnormal rate of FPG in essential hypertension was 39.9% and incidence of IFG was 31.5%.The differences of gender,systolic blood pressure,BMI,waist-to-hip ratio (WHR),TC,TG between the normal glucose group and the IFG group were significant.Multiple factors logistic analysis reveaed gender (β=0.068,P<0.001),family history of diabetes mellitus (β=0.468,P<0.05),TC(β=0.248,P<0.001) and LDLC(β=-0.06,P<0.001) have relationship with IFG.Conclusion The detection rate of IFG is high in hypertension in Shanghai Chengqiao Community and it is related with gender,family history of diabetes mellitus and disorders of lipid metabolism.
