Abstract
The prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), after declining steadily since mid-century, has been stable or increasing over the past decade.1 Indeed, CVD continues to be the leading cause of death in the United States.2 Factors known to increase the risk of CVD include age, obesity, central distribution of body fat, smoking, physical inactivity, hypertension, dyslipidemias, and abnormalities in blood clotting factors. Insulin resistance associated with hyperinsulinemia is common to many of these risk factors.Keywords
