P54 Pre diabetes and arterial stiffness: its identification and posible pathogenesis

Abstract

Introduction: background: in the prediabetes stage (PreD), vascular lesion markers appear indicating the need for early identification and timely treatment. Aims: To evaluate arterial stiffness indicators in people with prediabetes (PreD) and its possible pathogenesis. Materials and methods: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was measured in 208 people with FINDRISC ≥13 (57±8 years old, 68.7% women) and either normal glucose tolerance (NGT) or PreD.In each subgroup we identified those with/out insulin resistance (IR) measured throughout the triglyceride/HDL-c ratio (normal cut off values previously established in our population). Clinical and metabolic data were collected for all participants. PWV was compared between subgroups using independent t test.
