Reduced sensitivity of liver, muscle, and adipose tissue to insulin's actions, with compensatory hyperinsulinemia and progression toward type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Use for claims studying insulin resistance itself, including its role as a risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver, and other cardiometabolic outcomes.
Chronic inflammation and insulin resistance are primary drivers of atherosclerosis independent of LDL

The cardiovascular risk associated with insulin resistance is largely mediated through atherogenic dyslipidemia and blood pressure
