Impaired Fasting Glucose Is Associated with Increased Arterial Stiffness in Elderly People without Diabetes Mellitus: The Rotterdam Study

OBJECTIVES: To study the association between impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and arterial stiffness in older adults. DESIGN: Cross‐sectional population‐based study. SETTING: The Rotterdam Study, a Dutch population‐based cohort study. PARTICIPANTS: Two thousand nine hundred eighty‐seven subjects aged...

Zusammenfassung:	OBJECTIVES: To study the association between impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and arterial stiffness in older adults. DESIGN: Cross‐sectional population‐based study. SETTING: The Rotterdam Study, a Dutch population‐based cohort study. PARTICIPANTS: Two thousand nine hundred eighty‐seven subjects aged 60 and older. MEASUREMENTS: Arterial stiffness assessed by measuring common carotid arterial distensibility and glucose status classified into three categories: normal fasting glucose (NFG) (fasting glucose
