[Relationship between insulin resistance and blood pressure].
A study designed to analyze the relationship between blood pressure and insulin resistance was conducted on 353 subjects who received medical health examinations, and who did not have obvious diabetes. Fasting plasma insulin (IRI), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), body mass index (BMI), waist hip ratio (WHR), body fat percentage, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride, and urine sodium concentrations were measured or calculated. After analysis of the correlation's between each value, multiple regression analyses were performed. The results were as follows: 1) hypertensive subjects were significantly higher than non-hypertensives in with age, value of IRI, FPG, WHR, TC and BMI. 2) The values of IRI, WHR, and BMI were correlated each other. 3) After adjusted for age and sex by multiple regression analyses, IRI, WHR, and BMI were shown to have significant relationship to mean blood pressure. From this study, it is concluded that IRI is an indicator for insulin resistance and is related to blood pressure.
