What was the result of the Uppsala Longitudinal Study of Adult A cohort?
The Uppsala Longitudinal Study of Adult A cohort found that the risk of incident HF was 5.3 per 1000 person-years for those with the metabolic syndrome versus 1.7 per 1000 person-years for those without the metabolic syndrome. The metabolic syndrome increased the risk of developing HF more than 3-fold and remained significant after adjustment for established risk factors for HF. The incidence of HF in those with the metabolic syndrome began diverging from those without the syndrome at 10 years of follow-up.
