Aims: Aim of this case-control study is the assessment of the relationship between antihypertensive treatment and incidence of diabetes in an unselected cohort of subjects participating to a screening program for diabetes. Methods: A case-control study nested within a cohort of nondiabetic subjects with a mean follow-up of 27.7±11.3 months was performed, comparing 40 cases of incident diabetes and 160 controls matched for age, sex, BMI, fasting plasma glucose, 2-hr post-load glycemia, smoking and alcohol abuse. Results: When considering antihypertensive treatment at enrolment, a lower proportion of cases was exposed to ACE-inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers (ACE-i/ARB) in comparison with controls. A nonsignificant trend toward a higher exposure to diuretics, which were mainly represented by thiazide diuretics, was observed in cases. In a multivariate analysis, including both ACEi/ ARB and diuretics, a protective effect of ACEi/ARB, and an increased risk with diuretics were observed. Similar results were obtained in alternative models, after adjusting for systolic and diastolic blood pressure at enrolment, diagnosis of hypertension, concurrent treatment with beta-blockers or calcium-channel blockers, and number of antihypertensive medications. Conclusions: Diuretics seems to be associated with a higher incidence of diabetes, whereas treatment with ACEi/ARB could have a protective effect.

Abstract

Aims: Aim of this case-control study is the assessment of the relationship between antihypertensive treatment and incidence of diabetes in an unselected cohort of subjects participating to a screening program for diabetes. Methods: A case-control study nested within a cohort of nondiabetic subjects with a mean follow-up of 27.7±11.3 months was performed, comparing 40 cases of incident diabetes and 160 controls matched for age, sex, BMI, fasting plasma glucose, 2-hr post-load glycemia, smoking and alcohol abuse. Results: When considering antihypertensive treatment at enrolment, a lower proportion of cases was exposed to ACE-inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers (ACE-i/ARB) in comparison with controls. A nonsignificant trend toward a higher exposure to diuretics, which were mainly represented by thiazide diuretics, was observed in cases. In a multivariate analysis, including both ACEi/ ARB and diuretics, a protective effect of ACEi/ARB, and an increased risk with diuretics were observed. Similar results were obtained in alternative models, after adjusting for systolic and diastolic blood pressure at enrolment, diagnosis of hypertension, concurrent treatment with beta-blockers or calcium-channel blockers, and number of antihypertensive medications. Conclusions: Diuretics seems to be associated with a higher incidence of diabetes, whereas treatment with ACEi/ARB could have a protective effect.
