The impact of prediabetes on obesity, hypertension, aortic stiffness, left ventricular hypertrophy (moderate plus severe indexed by height2.7), impaired endothelial function and sleep apnea (moderate plus severe) among Mexican American women (a) and men (b) in Starr County, Texas. Prediabetes is based on a fasting blood glucose (100–125 mg/dl) or 2-h post-load glucose (140–199 mg/dl) without consideration of HbA1c. p values are those obtained from Chi square statistics (or Fisher’s exact test when cell size were five or less) testing the independence of prediabetes and the respective risk factor categorization
