Insulin-based or non-insulin-based insulin resistance indicators and risk of long-term cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in the general population: A 25-year cohort study

Although insulin resistance (IR) has been recognized to be a causal component in various diseases, current information on the relationship between IR and long-term mortality in the general population is limited and conclusions varied among different IR indicators and different populations. We aimed to assess associations between different measurements of IR with long-term all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality risk for the general population.
