Abstract

Background
As a risk factor for diabetes, there are many evidences for physical characteristics and lifestyle habits. There are studies showing that resting heart rate is also related, but evidence is still lacking. Therefore, this study attempted to determine the effect of resting heart rate on diabetes.
Methods
The subject of this study was analyzed with 6,622 people who had fasting blood glucose test data out of a total of 7,993 people who participated in the 7th National Health and Nutrition Survey. Fasting blood glucose above 126 mg/dL was defined as a diabetic group and a multiple logistic regression analysis was used. General characteristics, lifestyle and blood chemistry test results were adjusted to investigate the association with diabetes according to the resting heart rate level in the subjects.
Results
The risk of diabetes according to the resting heart rate level was 1.434 times in the 2nd quartile, 1.714 times in the 3rd and 1.785 times in the 4th, compared to the 1st quartile. In model 4, except for the 2nd, which was not significant the analysis with all related variables adjusted for the risk rate in the 3rd and 4th order showed that the risk rate increased to 2.364 times and 3.477 times, respectively as the resting heart rate increased.
Conclusions
This study shows that high resting heart rate is associated with increased diabetes, and suggests that high heart rate, along with other known risk factors, may be a useful tool in predicting diabetes risk.
