Why the study?
Do metabolic precursors such as fasting insulin and triglycerides predict the development of hypertension in initially nondiabetic, nonhypertensive subjects?
Do metabolic precursors such as fasting insulin and triglycerides predict the development of hypertension in initially nondiabetic, nonhypertensive subjects?
Higher fasting insulin and triglyceride levels independently predict the development of hypertension in initially nondiabetic, nonhypertensive individuals.
