The addition of fasting insulin to the risk factors age {for increased IMT (ARR: 2.2 [1.4, 3.6])} or sex {for arteriosclerosis (ARR: 2.8 [1.9, 4.0])} yielded higher relative risks than the addition of BMI with regard to increased IMT (ARR: 1.8 [1.2, 2.8]) (Figure 3A) or arteriosclerosis (ARR: 2.0 [1.4, 2.8]) (Figure 3B). Here, INS is linked to arteriosclerosis disorder.
