Could insulin resistance be a hidden driver of heart disease in naples?
NCT ID NCT07785518
First seen Aug 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This large observational study looks at health records from general practitioners in Naples to estimate how common insulin resistance is in the local population. It also examines whether people with insulin resistance have a higher rate of cardiovascular disease compared to those without it. The study uses a simple blood-based marker called TyG to identify insulin resistance. By analyzing data from over 120,000 people, the researchers hope to uncover patterns that could inform future prevention strategies.

- If this study finds a strong link between insulin resistance and heart disease, it could help identify people at higher risk and guide prevention efforts in the community.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it can show associations but not prove cause and effect. The results may not apply to other populations.
