Estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) and prehypertension in Non-Diabetic Japanese adults: A secondary analysis of the NAGALA Cross-Sectional study
摘要
The association between estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) and prehypertension (pre-HTN) in non-diabetic Japanese adults was investigated in our study.
MethodsData from 15,464 participants aged 18–79 years in the NAGALA-based study (2004–2015) were further analyzed. A total of 14,170 non-diabetic individuals were included to explore the association between eGDR—calculated using two established formulas, one based on waist circumference (WC) and the other on body mass index (BMI)—and pre-HTN. Multivariable logistic regression adjusted for serum biomarkers and clinical characteristics was used to evaluate the relationship. Both stratified analysis and Bayesian network (BN) models have been employed to further substantiate this relationship.
Results30.1% of pre-HTN were shown in the enrolled patients (4,266/14,170). After adjusting for confounders, lower eGDR levels were significantly associated with higher pre-HTN risk. The adjusted odds ratio for the first tertile of eGDR.WC and eGDR.BMI, compared to the highest tertile, were 3.36 (95%CI: 2.99–3.77) and 3.39 (95%CI: 3.04–3.78) respectively. An increase of 1-unit in eGDR was found to link with a 52% reduction in the prevalence of pre-HTN for eGDR.WC (adjusted OR = 0.48, 95%CI: 0.45–0.51) and a 60% reduction for eGDR.BMI (adjusted OR = 0.40, 95%CI: 0.38–0.43). Stratified analysis confirmed a negative correlation between eGDR and pre-HTN across subgroups, which was also corroborated in BN models.
ConclusionsIn non-diabetic Japanese adults, lower eGDR levels were significantly associated with higher pre-HTN prevalence, suggesting eGDR as a potential indicator for hypertension prevention and deserving more clinical research’s validation.
