Hypertension in type 2 diabetes mellitus in Isfahan, Iran: incidence and risk factors.
Evidence on the long-term incidence of and risk factors of hypertension in diabetic patients is scarce and mainly derived from studies in developed countries. Evidence from developing countries is required for planning a well-co-ordinated approach to this public health problem in these countries. ⋯ These findings will help the identification of those patients at particular risk of hypertension and strongly support the case for vigorous control of blood pressure on type 2 diabetic patients.
