Key result
Borderline and essential hypertension were associated with greater fasting insulin and total cholesterol than normotension (P<.05), with insulin correlating positively with mean BP (r=0.56, P=.013).
Cross-Sectional (n=454)
p-value: p=<.05
Insulin resistance and dyslipidemia are present in the early stages of hypertension, even in young, nonobese, nondiabetic individuals.

Does not support changing hypertension care; leaves open whether insulin resistance precedes BP elevation in longitudinal studies.
Kazuko Masuo (1996) conducted a cross-sectional in Borderline hypertension (n=454). Borderline and essential hypertension vs. Normotension was evaluated on Fasting insulin and total cholesterol levels (p=<.05). Borderline and essential hypertension were associated with greater fasting insulin and total cholesterol than normotension (P<.05), with insulin correlating positively with mean BP (r=0.56, P=.013).
