Key result
Increased resting heart rate and lower levels of physical activity were both independently associated with increased insulin resistance (p < 0.0001).
Why the study?
Are resting heart rate and physical activity independently associated with insulin resistance and insulin secretion in a multiethnic cohort?

Are resting heart rate and physical activity independently associated with insulin resistance and insulin secretion in a multiethnic cohort?
p-value: p=<0.0001
Increased resting heart rate and lower physical activity are independently associated with increased insulin resistance, suggesting cardiovascular fitness is an important factor in preventing metabolic risk.
Grandinetti et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Insulin resistance (n=1,327). Resting heart rate and physical activity vs. Lower resting heart rate and higher physical activity was evaluated on Insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (p=<0.0001). Increased resting heart rate and lower levels of physical activity were both independently associated with increased insulin resistance (p < 0.0001).
