The relationship between glucose and incident cardiovascular events. A metaregression analysis of published data from 20 studies of 95,783 individuals followed for 12.4 years

OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between nondiabetic glucose levels
and cardio vascular risk. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Three independent
searches using MEDLINE (1966-1996), followed by a manual search of the
references from each retrieved article, were conducted by two physicians
and one medical librarian. Data had to be reported in at least three
quantiles or intervals so that the nature of the relationship between
glucose and cardiovascular events (i.e., linear or nonlinear) could be
explored, and to ensure that any incremental cardiovascular risk was
consistent across quantiles or intervals. RESULTS: Analyzed studies
comprised 95,783 people (94% male) who had 3,707 cardiovascular events over
12.4 years (1,193,231 person-years). Studies reporting fasting glucose
levels (n = 6), 2-h glucose levels (n = 7), 1-h glucose levels (n = 5), and
casual glucose levels (n = 4) were included. The glucose load used varied
from 50 to 100 g. The highest glucose interval for most studies included
glucose values in the diabetic range. The relationship between glucose
levels and the risk of a cardiovascular event was modeled for each study
and the beta-coefficients were combined. Compared with a glucose level of
4.2 mmol/l (75 mg/dl), a fasting and 2-h glucose level of 6.1 mmol/dl (110
mg/dl) and 7.8 mmol/l (140 mg/dl) was associated with a relative
cardiovascular event risk of 1.33 (95% CI 1.06-1.67) and 1.58 (95% CI
1.19-2.10), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The progressive relationship between
glucose levels and cardiovascular risk extends below the diabetic
threshold.
