Background  Cardiovascular disease constitutes a major challenge for the health of community-dwelling population, it is essential to delay the development of atherosclerosis. However, long-term prospective studies analyzing the effect of type 2 diabetes (T2D) on central arterial stiffness are lacking, and roles of fasting and postprandial blood glucose (FBG and PBG) in this effect are controversial. Purpose of the current analysis was to investigate the effect of T2D on central arterial stiffness during the 5 years of follow-up, and explore whether both FBG and PBG were determinants of this effect in Chinese community-dwelling population.    Methods  The current analysis involved 898 individuals with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) ≤12 m/s. Central arterial stiffness was assessed by standard cfPWV at baseline and follow-up.    Results  Incidence of cfPWV >12 m/s was 21.3% (102 participants). Participants without T2D had an increase of cfPWV with a median of 0.6 m/s, whereas participants with T2D had an increase of cfPWV with a median of 1.2 m/s (p = 0.007). T2D had an independent effect on increased cfPWV in multivariate Logistic regression models (p < 0.05 for all). Elevated levels of both FBG and PBG determined the independent effect on increased cfPWV in multivariate linear regression models (p < 0.05 for all).    Conclusions  Type 2 diabetes had an independent effect on the development of central arterial stiffness in Chinese community-dwelling population. Both FBG and PBG should be responsible for the development of central arterial stiffness and treated as the targets of glycemic control.
