trailThe association between insulin resistance and cardiovascular events attenuates substantially after adjusting for lipids and blood pressure
The cardiovascular risk associated with insulin resistance is largely mediated through atherogenic dyslipidemia and blood pressure
Atherogenic dyslipidemia mediates a large share of the association between insulin resistance and cardiovascular events

Elevated blood pressure mediates part of the association between insulin resistance and cardiovascular events
