  1. Insulin resistance is linked with higher amyloid-positive PET scan in humans (highest vs lowest midlife HOMA-IR tertile; 15-year follow-up) (OR 3.0, 95% CI 1.1-8.9; 60.0% vs 33.3% amyloid-positive).

    “An amyloid-positive PET scan was found in 33.3% of the IR- group and 60.0% of the IR+ group (odds ratio 3.0, 95% confidence interval 1.1-8.9, p = 0.04).”
