Diverse effect of inflammatory markers on insulin resistance and insulin-resistance syndrome in the elderly

Article Abstract:

The potential association between different inflammatory markers and insulin resistance (IR), as well as insulin-resistance syndrome (IRS) in a large, population-based study of older, nondiabetic persons is assessed through a cross-sectional study. Studies reveal that the different inflammatory markers are associated with a diverse effect on IR and IRS in elderly nondiabetic subjects.
