Insulin resistance bio-anthropometric markers predict hypertension control in individuals without diabetes
- Cross-sectional study
Authors' conclusion
METS-IR and TyGi-BMI were associated with uncontrolled ABP, independently of treatment status, sex, and age.
Study context
- Population
- Outpatients without diabetes undergoing ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring
- Participants
- 1,336 outpatients
- Outcome
- Uncontrolled 24-hour ambulatory BP
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Prevalence of uncontrolled ambulatory BP
64.2%
Observational data: associations, not effects.
