Abstract

ABSTRACT. In the Helsinki Policemen Study based on a cohort of 982 men aged 35—64 years and free of coronary heart disease (CHD) at entry plasma insulin level (fasting, 1‐hour and 2‐hour plasma insulin after oral glucose load) showed during a 9½‐year follow‐up a nonlinear association to the incidence of »hard criteria» CHD events (CHD death or non‐fatal myocardial infarction) with highest incidence in the top decile of plasma insulin. Plasma insulin levels showed positive correlations, besides to blood glucose levels, to body mass index, plasma triglyceride level and blood pressure and inverse correlations to leisure time physical activity and objectively measured physical fitness. In multivariate analyses the predictive value of high plasma insulin with respect to CHD risk was found to be independent of other risk factors, including blood glucose levels.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
