Progress in population analyses of the insulin resistance syndrome.
Insulin resistance is associated with a variety of cardiovascular risk factors including hypertension, dyslipidemia, and non-insulin-dependent diabetes. In blacks, the relation between insulin resistance, hypertension, and atherosclerosis has been questioned. Most data collected on the Insulin Resistance Syndrome have been collected in nondiabetic subjects; therefore, no inference can be drawn to exogenous insulin use in diabetic subjects where improved glycemic control is usually associated with improved cardiovascular risk factors (especially dyslipidemia) in the absence of weight gain.
