Trends in the Risk for Coronary Heart Disease Among Adults With Diagnosed Diabetes in the US
ES Ford - Diabetes Care, 2011 - Am Diabetes Assoc RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Data from 1,977 adults, aged 3079 years, with diagnosed
diabetes who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from
19992000 to 20072008 were used. Estimated risk was calculated using risk prediction ...
RESULTS Significant improvements in mean Hb A1c concentrations, systolic blood pressure, and the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol occurred. No significant linear trend for current smoking status was observed. The estimated UKPDS 10-year risk for CHD was 21.1% in 1999–2000 and 16.4% in 2007–2008 (Plinear trend < 0.001). The risk decreased significantly among men, women, whites, African Americans, and Mexican Americans.
