Matsushita et al. (1) studied associations between heart failure and prediabetic glycemia by categories of A1C and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) using Cox proportional hazards models from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study and reported that, after the adjustment for covariates including FPG, the hazard ratio of incident heart failure was higher in individuals with A1C 6.0–6.4% and 5.5–6.0% than in the reference group (A1C 5.0–5.4%), but that elevated FPG was not associated with heart failure after adjustment for covariates and A1C. They suggested …
