Research Article: Association Between ALDH Polymorphisms and the Risk of Diabetes Mellitus in Hypertensive Patients

Date Published: 2023-12-06

Abstract:
Hypertension (HTN) is a critical cardiovascular risk factor that may lead to stroke, coronary heart disease, and other diseases worldwide, and is the leading cause of death in China., A study has shown that approximately .% of Chinese people aged years or older had HTN, of which only .% achieved blood pressure control. However, the annual incidence of HTN continues to increase, and it has become a significant global disease burden. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic medical condition that frequently co-exists with HTN. Tatsumi et al and Wei et al showed that DM is almost . to . times as likely to develop in patients with HTN than in normotensive patients., Meanwhile, a study in China indicated that the prevalence of DM was approximately % among HTN patients and suggested that HTN may be a provoking factor for the development of diabetes. When combined with DM, HTN has been shown to predict and promote an increased risk of cardiovascular disease events and all-cause mortality over and above each risk factor alone, thereby increasing morbidity and mortality. Therefore, predicting whether HTN patients would have a DM risk is very important for both prevention and treatment. With the development of molecular biology and genetics, there has been considerable overlap between DM and HTN in etiology and disease mechanisms, suggesting either shared genetic or environmental factors in the etiology., Thus, it is of great importance to investigate the risk factors of DM in patients with HTN.
