Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) 10-years incidence of T2DM 2) 10-years incidence of CVD | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) Baseline predictors of incident T2DM; baseline predictors of interest are age, sex, body mass index, waist circumference, plasma glucose and insulin levels. Additional factors of interest are genetic factors. 2) Baseline predictors of incident CVD; baseline predictors of interest are age, sex, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, smoking status, plasma glucose, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, apolipoprotein B and total cholesterol levels, which have been determined at baseline in all subjects. 3) Compliance to current primary and secondary CVD prevention strategies; clinical parameters of interest are systolic and diastolic blood pressure, plasma HbA1c and LDL-cholesterol levels at follow-up. 4) The prevalence of CESD in dyslipidemic FCHL pedigrees | — |
