Whether prediabetes is an independent risk factor for incident heart failure (HF) in non-diabetic older adults remains unclear. ⋯ We found no evidence that prediabetes is an independent risk factor for incident HF, other cardiovascular events or mortality in community-dwelling older adults. These findings question the wisdom of routine screening for prediabetes in older adults and targeted interventions to prevent adverse outcomes in older adults with prediabetes.
