— even after accounting for a large number of sociodemographic, lifestyle, and clinical characteristics," he pointed out.
However,"total cholesterol, family history of CVD, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and C-reactive protein had relatively little impact on explaining the risk of heart disease associated with blood sugar." "It is well established that being overweight can lead to higher blood sugar levels as well as higher blood pressure, these being factors that contribute to higher risk of heart attack and stroke," Robert Storey, DM, professor of cardiology, University of Sheffield, United Kingdom, told the UK Science Media Centre.
"This very large UK Biobank study," he said,"shows that the higher heart risk associated with blood sugar can be detected at a very early stage along the path towards the abnormally high blood sugar levels associated with diabetes.in people who are overweight, including assessment of blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure levels, all of which can be effectively managed to markedly reduce the risk of future heart attack and stroke," according to Storey.
