ABSTRACT
We present the results of an epidemiological research undertaken in the province of Córdoba (Argentina) with the aim of studying insulin-resistance (IR) in relation to the increased risk for diabetes and its association with risk factors of arterial disease (RFAD). Overall, there were 1413 subjects between 20 and 70 years of age, from both sexes (Dean Funes 18885 inhabitants; sample 715; Oncativo 13880 inhabitants; sample 696). We studied traditional arterial risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, sedentary life, smoking). To evaluate IR we used the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR). We found a high prevalence of IR clearly related to the traditional (RFAD), thus placing these populations, representatives of national ones, among the western populations at high risk for arterial disease.
