Abstract
In Belfast (high-risk population), a significant trend was observed between insulin concentration classes and CHD risk but hyperinsulinaemia lost its association with CHD risk in multivariate analyses. In the French centres (lower risk population), slightly increased insulin concentrations were associated with a high risk of CHD, independently of cardiovascular risk factors and other features of the metabolic syndrome, but very high insulin concentrations were not.
