The prevalence and risk factors of hypertension and coronary heart disease (CHD) in subjects with abnormal glucose metabolism (AGM) were studied in a population of 29,960 in the Capital Iron and Steel Corporation. The results showed that the prevalences of hypertension and CHD were 37.37% and 9.32% in diabetes group and 29.88% and 6.25% in impaired glucose tolerance group respectively. Both aging and obesity were the risk factors for AGM, hypertension and CHD. Hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia were related to the occurrence of hypertension and CHD. Our results indicate that the prevalence of CHD and hypertension is significantly increased in AGM subjects, and they have many other risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
