Years lived free from and with heart failure among middle-aged adults (index age 40–59 years) stratified by fasting plasma glucose status. Mean years lived free from and with heart failure (HF) in middle-aged (index age, 40–59 years) Black and White men (a, b) and women (c, d) across categories of fasting plasma glucose (FPG). Prediabetes was defined as FPG of 100–125 mg/dL and diabetes defined FPG ≥ 126 mg/dL. Participants with normal FPG (< 100 mg/dL) lived more years free from HF compared with participants with prediabetes or diabetes. Years lived with HF was greater in participants with diabetes than those with normal FPG
