Abstract
Introduction: There are limited data on the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors/diseases (diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia) and their composite scores reflecting overall cardiovascular health among young (< 50 years old) married couples.
Methods: We have an established longitudinal prospective cohort of postpartum women with a history of hyperglycemia [pre-existing diabetes (PED; n = 101), overt diabetes in pregnancy (ODiP; n = 92), gestational diabetes (GDM; n = 643)], and normoglycemia (n = 183) in pregnancy and their spouses (n = 819). In this study, we report data from baseline cross-sectional evaluation of these 819 young couples regarding the burden of cardiovascular risk factors/diseases, their concordance and associations.
Results: The mean (SD) age was 33.5 (4.9) years for women and 36.9 (5.4) years for men, and the evaluation was performed at a median (IQR) postpartum interval of 30 (20-45) months. Diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and dyslipidemia were present in 25.0%, 6.9%, 25.6%, and 4.0% of women and 15.8%, 20.2%, 14.3%, and 8.2% of men, respectively. Among men, dysglycemia (diabetes/prediabetes) and adverse cardiovascular score (average/poor) showed a significant trend in progression according to the antenatal categories of their partner (highest in DIP, intermediate in GDM, and lowest in normoglycemia). The concordance was higher for adverse cardiovascular score (58.5%), overweight/obesity (48.7%), and dysglycemia (42.4%) compared to prehypertension/hypertension (29.2%) and hypercholesterolemia (8.2%). The odds ratios were significant for all associations evaluated, except for elevated blood pressure, being strongest (OR > 2.0) for overweight/obesity and adverse cardiovascular score.
Conclusions: Nearly three in five young couples evaluated in the study showed concordance for adverse cardiovascular scores. The cardiovascular risk in men increased in a graded manner across the increasing severity of antenatal glycemic categories of their partners.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all areas of diabetes. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Diabetes Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
