Abstract

Prediabetes is a state of impaired glucose tolerance associated with an increased risk of progression to type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease, particularly in patients with hypertension. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 135 hypertensive patients attending Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital to determine the prevalence of and factors associated with prediabetes. Data were collected through interviews, anthropometric measurements, and laboratory investigations including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), HbA1c, lipid profile, echocardiographic Doppler assessment, and proteinuria. The results showed that the prevalence of prediabetes was 58.5%, and it was associated with BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, and a family history of diabetes. This high prevalence highlights the need for enhanced screening to enable early intervention and prevent complications.
