Type 2 diabetes is a risk factor for PAD, and insulin resistance is a key feature of diabetes and pre-diabetes. No longitudinal epidemiological study has examined the relation between insulin resistance and PAD. Our study analyzed the association of quartiles of the homeostatic model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and the development of PAD defined by 2 methods. PAD was first defined as the development of an abnormal ankle brachial index (ABI) (dichotomous outcome) after six years of follow-up. PAD was alternatively defined as the development of clinical PAD (time to event analysis). The study samples included adults over the age of 65 who were enrolled in the Cardiovascular Health Study, had fasting measurements of insulin and glucose, had ABI measurements, and were not receiving treatment for diabetes. Multivariable models were adjusted for potential confounders, including age, sex, field center and cohort, BMI, smoking status, alcohol use, and exercise intensity. Additional models adjusted for potential mediators, including blood pressure, lipids, kidney function, and prevalent vascular disease. In the ABI analysis (n=2108), multivariable adjusted models demonstrated a positive relation between HOMA-IR and incident PAD (Odds Ratio=1.80 comparing the 4th versus 1st quartile of HOMA-IR, 95% confidence interval 1.20-2.71). In the clinical PAD analysis (n=4208), we found a similar relation (Hazard ratio=2.30 comparing the 4th versus 1st quartile of HOMA-IR, 95% confidence interval 1.15-4.58). As expected, further adjustment for potential mediators led to some attenuation of effect estimates. In conclusion, insulin resistance is associated with a higher risk of PAD in older adults.
