Özet

We addressed whether or not the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in non-diabetic persons is linear at the lower end of fasting glucose levels. Middle-aged Turkish adults (n = 2893) free fromdiabetes and CHD at baseline were studied prospectively over a 7.6-year follow-up. Participants with fasting glucose measurements were analyzed in 3 groups separated by 90 mg/dl and 110 mg/dl limits. Outcomes were analyzed by Cox regression.
