Smoking may increase risk of diabetes

y found that increased thickness of the walls of the carotid artery in the neck suggested that insulin resistance might be an independent risk factor for heart disease.

Since that report, IRAS investigators have been asking other research questions, based on extensive examinations at the start of the study two four-hour visits scheduled one week apart that directly measured indicators such as glucose tolerance, body mass index (BMI), cholesterol and high blood pressure, comparing those results with a follow-up examination five years later. The initial examinations also included questions about smoking.

Foy said that another strength of IRAS was that it had roughly equal numbers of men and women and roughly equal numbers of African-Americans, Hispanics and whites recruited from Los Angeles and Oakland, Calif., San Antonio, Texas and the San Luis Valley area of Colorado.
