Two-hour postload glucose measurement is currently recommended for early detection of diabetes.1 The less time-consuming 1-hour postload glucose measurement (1-hour glucose) has been reported to predict cardiovascular mortality2 and Medicare expenditure3 and to be associated with carotid intima-media thickness.4 Recently, 1-hour glucose has also aroused interest in the prediction of diabetes both in United States and Finnish cohorts5- 7 and in the assessment of risk for chronic kidney disease.8 However, the status of 1-hour glucose as a risk-predicting tool is still far from established. Because blood 1-hour glucose was used to assess cardiovascular risk in early midlife in the Helsinki Businessmen Study during the 1960s,9 we had a unique opportunity to evaluate how this relatively simple test in conjunction with body mass index (BMI) would predict mortality and development of diabetes over 44 years of follow-up.
