Association between mean arterial pressure and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus: The Rural Chinese Cohort Study

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a considerable risk factor of cardiovascular disease, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and mortality [1 –4]. Diabetes caused 4 million deaths in 2017, with more than 0.84 million in China [5]. The prevalence of T2DM is increasing in many countries with the speeding up of urbanization and change in lifestyle. The International Diabetes Federation estimated that approximately 425 million adults (20– 79 years) were living with diabetes in 2017, 79% were from low- and middle-income countries, and this number would rise to 629 million by 2045 [5].
