Abstract: Objective To evaluate glucose metabolism in elderly inpatients with primary hypertension. Methods Based on the results of the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) ,130 elderly patients with primary hypertension were divided into the normal glucose tolerance (NGT )group ,the impaired fast glucose(IFG)group ,the impaired glucose tolerance(IGT)group and the type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM )group.Clinical characteristics and morbidity were compared among the groups. Results Among patients with grade 1 ,2 or 3 hypertension ,14(32.6％ ) ,9(20.5％ )and 7(16.3％ )had NGT ,3(7.0％ ) ,5(11.4％ )and 4(9.3％ )had IFG ,16(37.2％ ) ,18(40.8％ )and 19(44.2％ )had IGT , and 10 (23.2％ ) ,12 (27.3％ ) and 13 (30.2％ ) had T2DM ,respectively.Moreover ,there was a significant difference in levels of 2 hours postprandial blood glucose between patients with grade 1 hypertension and those with grade 3 hypertension in the T2DM group(P< 0.05). Conclusions Abnormal glucose metabolism and diabetes mellitus are highly prevalent in elderly inpatients with essential hypertension.
