Obesity and high blood pressure: a clinical phenotype for the insulin resistance syndrome in African Americans.

Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.) - 1 Jul 2004

Campbell Kimberly L, Kushner Harvey, Falkner Bonita

Abstract excerpt

The high prevalence of insulin resistance syndrome in African Americans predisposes this population to higher morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease. To test the hypothesis that the combination of obesity and high blood pressure (BP) represents the physical phenotype of insulin resistance syndrome, 337 African-American men and women aged 32+/-4 years were examined and classified into four groups...
