This research aims to clarify the role of small, dense LDL in insulin resistance syndrome and its linkage to noninsulin-dependent diabetes.
Large epidemiologic investigations and one prospective study conducted
Multivariate factor analysis used to simplify risk factors into uncorrelated components
Cross-sectional studies identified associations between small, dense LDL and diabetes
Small, dense LDL identified as a significant risk factor for coronary heart disease
Presence of small, dense LDL associated with insulin resistance syndrome
Links established between small, dense LDL and increased risk for noninsulin-dependent diabetes

Epidemiologic studies reveal small dense LDL as a risk factor for diabetes, indicating links to insulin resistance syndrome.

Austin et al. (1996) studied this question.
