Association of Random Plasma Glucose Levels With the Risk for Cardiovascular Disease Among Chinese Adults Without Known Diabetes

Importance

Diabetes is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Substantial uncertainty remains, however, about the relevance to CVD risk for blood glucose levels below the diabetes threshold.

Objective

To examine the association of random plasma glucose (RPG) levels with the risk for major CVD in Chinese adults without known diabetes.
