Journal ArticleDOI
Diabetes mellitus, fasting blood glucose concentration, and risk of vascular disease: a collaborative meta-analysis of 102 prospective studies
Nadeem Sarwar,Pei Gao,Seshasai Srk.,Reeta Gobin,Stephen Kaptoge,E Di Angelantonio,Erik Ingelsson,Debbie A Lawlor,Elizabeth Selvin,Meir J. Stampfer,Stehouwer Cda.,Sarah Lewington,Lisa Pennells,Alexander M. W. Cargill Thompson,Naveed Sattar,Ian R. White,Kausik K. Ray,John Danesh +17 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of individual records of diabetes, fasting blood glucose concentration, and other risk factors in people without initial vascular disease from studies in the Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration found diabetes confers about a two-fold excess risk for a wide range of vascular diseases, independently from other conventional risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Lid assessment in vascular disease can be simplified by measurement of either total and HDL cholesterol levels or apolipoproteins without the need to fast and without regard to triglyceride.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diabetes mellitus, fasting glucose, and risk of cause-specific death.
Sreenivasa Rao Kondapally Seshasai,Stephen Kaptoge,Alexander J. Thompson,Emanuele Di Angelantonio,Pei Gao,Nadeem Sarwar,Peter H. Whincup,Kenneth J. Mukamal,Richard F.

TL;DR: In addition to vascular disease, diabetes is associated with substantial premature death from several cancers, infectious diseases, external causes, intentional self-harm, and degenerative disorders, independent of several major risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
C-reactive protein concentration and risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and mortality: an individual participant meta-analysis.
Stephen Kaptoge,E Di Angelantonio,Gordon D.O. Lowe,Mark B. Pepys,Simon G. Thompson,Rory Collins,John Danesh +6 more
TL;DR: CRP concentration has continuous associations with the risk of coronary heart disease, ischaemic stroke, vascular mortality, and death from several cancers and lung disease that are each of broadly similar size.
Journal ArticleDOI
