The impact of prediabetes and diabetes on endothelial function in a large population-based cohort

CONCLUSION: In a population free from CVD, vascular endothelial dysfunction was primarily associated with manifest diabetes, but not with prediabetes, implying that finger ED may develop when diabetes is established, rather than being an early sign of glucose intolerance. Further research is needed to explore whether addressing glucose intolerance could potentially delay or prevent vascular ED onset.PMID:38185988 | DOI:10.1080/08037051.2023.2298309
