Acute caffeine ingestion reduces insulin sensitivity in healthy subjects: a systematic review and meta-analysis

A systematic analysis of health examination surveys and epidemiological studies estimated that the overall age-standardized incidence of diabetes was approximately 9.2% for women and 9.8% for men [2].…”

Évaluation de la tension artérielle et de la pression du pouls dans le syndrome métabolique

“…De même, chez les patients avec syndrome métabolique, a été rapportée une fréquence élevée de l`hypertension artérielle résistante au traitement 13,17,18 , fait attribué à la physiopathologie complexe du syndrome métabolique, à l`insulinorésistance comme élément pathogénique central [19][20][21] . La prévalence élevée du syndrome métabolique 9,14,22,23 nécessite une préoccupation considérable, parce que plusieurs études suggèrent que les personnes avec SM présentent un risque élevé pour le diabète sucré non-insulinodépendant 8,24 et les événements cardiovasculaires majeurs (risque cardio-métabolique élevé) [25][26][27] .…”
