Title: The Relationship between Blood Pressure and Insulin Resistance in Primary Hypertension Patients
Abstract: Objective To investigate the relationship between insulin resistance and blood pressure in primary hypertensive patients.Methods Sixty-eight patients without hypertension history, coronary artery disease,brain angiopathy,prostatomegaly,etc were selected from 1 680 persons who had taken healthy examination. The subjects were divided into two groups according to their value of blood pressure.There were 34 people in the normal control group (group A,systolic pressure120 mm Hg and diastolic pressure80 mm Hg)and 34 people in the prehypertension group (group B,120 mm Hg≤systolic pressure140 mm Hg or 80 mm Hg≤diastolic pressure90 mm Hg).We detected 73 patients with primary hypertension in our hospital and selected them into the hypertension group (group C,systolic pressure≥140 mm Hg or diastolic pressure≥90 mm Hg).The group C were divided into C1,C2 and C3 groups according to their value of blood pressure.Their fasting blood glucose (FBG) and fasting insulin (FINS) were determined. ResultsCompared with the group A,the insulin resistance index (IRI) did not show statistics difference in the group B(P0.05). Compared with the group A and B,however,it was remarkably advanced in the group C(P0.01). The IRI did show statistics difference in the groups of C1,C2 and C3 (P0.01).Conclusion There are remarkable insulin resistance in primary hypertension patients.The higher the blood pressure is,the more obvious the IRI is.
