Why the study?
Is low insulin sensitivity or the metabolic syndrome associated with impaired endothelium-dependent flow-mediated vasodilatation in clinically healthy 60-year-old men?
Population
60-year-old clinically healthy men randomly selected from the general population (n=55)
Design
Cross-sectional

No association with FMD in healthy 60-year-old men; leaves open endothelial-insulin links in higher-risk or younger cohorts.
Is low insulin sensitivity or the metabolic syndrome associated with impaired endothelium-dependent flow-mediated vasodilatation in clinically healthy 60-year-old men?
In clinically healthy 60-year-old men, neither low insulin sensitivity nor the metabolic syndrome were associated with impaired flow-mediated vasodilatation.
Wendelhag et al. (2002) studied this question.
