Longitudinal Change in Fasting Blood Glucose and Myocardial Infarction Risk in a Population Without Diabetes

CONCLUSIONS
We found that discrete FBG trajectories were significantly associated with subsequent risk of MI in individuals without diabetes. These observations suggest that long-term trajectories of FBG may be important for risk prediction of MI and possibly other macrovascular diseases.
