Association between experience of insulin resistance and long-term cardiovascular disease risk: Findings from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KOGES)
Abstract:Purpose
Although the correlation between insulin resistance (IR) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk is well established, the impact of changes in IR status over time has received little attention. This study aimed to investigate the effect of IR on CVD risk in a large prospective cohort of middle-aged Korean adults.
Methods
We assessed 3,597 participants from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES). Participants were categorized as having IR if their HOMA-IR was ≥ 2.5 at least once during the exp… Show more
