Aims/hypothesis Diabetes is known to increase mortality rate, but the degree to which mild hyperglycaemia may be associated with the risk of death is uncertain. We examined the association between HbA(1c) measured in stored erythrocytes and mortality rate in women with and without diabetes. Methods We conducted a cohort study of 27,210 women >= 45 years old with no history of cardiovascular disease or cancer who participated in the Women's Health Study, a randomised trial of vitamin E and aspirin. Results Over a median of 10 years of follow-up, 706 women died. Proportional hazards models adjusted for age, smoking, hypertension, blood lipids, exercise, postmenopausal hormone use, multivitamin use and C-reactive protein were used to estimate the relative risk of mortality. Among women without a diagnosis of diabetes and HbA(1c) < 5.60%, those in the top quintile (HbA(1c) 5.19-5.59%) had a relative risk of mortality of 1.28 (95% CI 0.98-1.69, p value for linear trend=0.14) compared with those with HbA(1c) 2.27-4.79%. Women with HbA(1c) 5.60-5.99% and no diagnosis of diabetes had a 54% increased risk of mortality (95% CI 1-136%) compared with those with HbA(1c) 2.27-4.79%. HbA(1c) was significantly associated with mortality across the range 4.50-7.00% (p value for linear trend=0.02); a test of deviation from linearity was not statistically significant (p=0.67). Diabetic women had more than twice the mortality risk of non-diabetic women. Conclusions/interpretation This study provides further evidence that chronic mild hyperglycaemia, even in the absence of diagnosed diabetes, is associated with increased risk of mortality.
