Insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and blood pressure progression among Blacks: the Jackson Heart Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

There is a paucity of data on the relations of insulin resistance with incident blood pressure (BP) changes among Blacks. We investigated the associations of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome (MetS) with BP progression in a community-based sample of African Americans.

Methods

We analyzed 1064 participants without hypertension at baseline (2000-2004) who attended at least one follow-up visit in 2005-2008 or 2009-2013. Four insulin resistance indices [fasting insulin, insulin-to-glucose ratio (IGR), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI)] and MetS (excluding hypertension in the definition) were assessed at baseline. Robust Poisson regression was used to generate risk ratios (RRs)
