Implication

May flag early vascular risk via insulin resistance in normotensives; leaves open causal confirmation and practice implications.

Population

3137 nondiabetic Chinese individuals with or without hypertension

Outcome

Relationship between brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and glucose levels, insulin sensitivity, and beta-cell functionsurrogate

Abnormal insulin sensitivity is associated with increased arterial stiffness in normotensive individuals without diabetes, suggesting early vascular risk.
