Non-linear relationship between pulse pressure and the risk of pre-diabetes: a secondary retrospective Chinese cohort study
Conclusion
We discovered that higher PP independently correlated with pre-DM risk in this study of Chinese participants. The connection between PP and incident pre-DM was also non-linear. High PP levels were related to a higher risk of pre-DM when PP was above 29 mm Hg.
Article focus
Our study investigated the relationship between PP and incident pre-DM in a secondary retrospective cohort of Chinese participants.
