People with cardiovascular disease whose blood sugar levels were at the top of the normal range, being 100 mg per deciliter, were 2.4 times more likely to die over the next two (2) years than those with blood sugar levels in the bottom of the normal range, being 67 mg per deciliter according to a analysis by UCLA statistician, Sidney Port, PhD.

"Much of the worry about blood pressure--especially the 'lower is better'--is false," says mathematics and statistics professor Sidney S. Port from the University of California, Los Angeles. Prof. Port is the lead author of an excellent, ground-breaking, landmark, paradigm-shifting paper about the risks associated with systolic blood pressure that was published The Lancet in 2000.

"Much of the worry about blood pressure--especially the ?lower is better'--is false," says mathematics and statistics professor Sidney S. Port from the University of California, Los Angeles. Prof. Port is the lead author of an excellent, ground-breaking, landmark, paradigm-shifting paper about the risks associated with systolic blood pressure. The paper reveals that the risk of death associated with systolic blood pressure is "greatly overestimated... for more than 70 percent of the population". Read the entire article | Email this article
