Does the association between blood pressure and cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and death vary by age among individuals with type 2 diabetes?
Blood pressure management is particularly critical in young individuals with type 2 diabetes, as they exhibit the strongest risk associations between blood pressure and adverse clinical outcomes.
We observed heterogeneity in the relationship between BP and various clinical outcomes across ages in a diabetes population. Risk associations were strongest among young individuals, emphasising the importance of BP management in this population.
