Table 4. Hazard Ratio (95%CI) of CVD endpoints and all-cause mortality among participants with impaired fasting glucose (2 definitions) relative to normoglycaemia.

No diabetes with FPG ≤6.0mmol/L N=6352 Impaired fasting glucose: NCEP ATPIII (FPG 6.1-6.9mmol/L); N=95 No diabetes with FPG ≤5.5mmol/L N=6144 Impaired fasting glycaemia: ADA (FPG 5.6-6.9mmol/L); N=303

Model 1: Adjusted for randomised treatment and age.

Model 2: In addition adjusted for BP, hypertension, cholesterol (HDL & LDL), triglycerides, nitrates use, history of angina, social deprivation score (DEPCAT), various medications (aspirin, ACE inhibitors, B-blockers, calcium channel blockers, diuretics, other)

FPG: fasting plasma glucose; Q: quintile; HR: hazard ratio; CI: confidence interval; CVD: cardiovascular disease; CHD: coronary heart disease. Multiply by 18 to convert glucose from mmol/L to mg/dL.
