Abstract

To evaluate the relationship existing between serum insulin and coronary heart disease (CHD) in the general population. In a cross-sectional survey on atherosclerosis and its risk factors, 500 men and 500 women aged 40-79 years were randomly selected from the population of Bruneck, Italy. Clinical, biochemical, and behavioral risk factors of atherosclerosis were assessed in the 936 subjects who participated in the study. Serum insulin was measured at fasting (n = 888) and 2 h (n = 811, known diabetic subjects were excluded) after an oral glucose load. CHD was ascertained by an abnormal electrocardiogram and/or a history of angina or myocardial infarction. Subjects were stratified according to serum insulin quintiles at fasting or 2 h after glucose loading. After adjustment for sex, age, BMI, smoking, physical activity, alcohol intake, and socioeconomic status (analysis of covariance), cardiovascular risk factors clustered in subjects of the top insulin quintile. Multiple logistic regression analysis, including sex and age in model 1, sex, age, BMI, glucose tolerance, socioeconomic status, and behavioral variables in model 2, or this set of variables together with triglycerides and apoproteins A1 and B, fibrinogen, and blood pre...Continue Reading
