An Hb A Ic ≥10, relative to Hb A Ic <7, was associated with 1.56-fold (95% CI 1.26 to 1.93) greater risk of heart failure. After adjustment for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education level, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, hypertension, obesity, use of β-blockers and ACE inhibitors, type and duration of diabetes, and incidence of interim myocardial infarction, each 1% increase in Hb A Ic was associated with an 8% increased risk of heart failure (95% CI 5% to 12%). There were a total of 935 events (516 among men 419 among women). Participants were 25 958 men and 22 900 women with (predominantly type 2) diabetes, ≥19 years old, with no known history of heart failure. Methods and Results-A cohort design was used with baseline between January 1, 1995, and June 30, 1996, and follow-up through Decem(median 2.2 years). We examined the association between hemoglobin (Hb) A Ic and the risk of heart failure hospitalization and/or death in a population-based sample of adult patients with diabetes and assessed whether this association differed by patient sex, heart failure pathogenesis, and hypertension status.
