[Body training and insulin resistance in two rural communities of Cordoba - Argentina].

Unlabelled: From the AF, the smaller risk is controversial. The influence of the general and environmental components on IR is not know in a satisfactory way.

Objectives: The influence of AF on the prevail IR in two rural communities of Córdoba with different fenotipical configuration and IR risk.

[Annex: Prevalence of insulin resistance and its association with type 2 diabetes and other cardiovascular risk factors].

We present the results of an epidemiological research undertaken in the province of Córdoba (Argentina) with the aim of studying insulin-resistance (IR) in relation to the increased risk for diabetes and its association with risk factors of arterial disease (RFAD). Overall, there were 1413 subjects between 20 and 70 years of age, from both sexes (Dean Funes 18885 inhabitants; sample 715; Oncativo 13880 inhabitants; sample 696). We studied traditional arterial risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, sedentary life, smoking).

[Risk factors for arterial disease].

The risk factors of arterial disease (FREA) predict a future damage over the vascular system of the human body. Its detection are considered a key for the diagnostic as well as for the preventive and even curative strategies. For a long time, scientist considered those factors originated as a consecuence of large studies during the middle of the last century, with current validity up to our days.
