Blood levels of free fatty acids are associated with insulin resistance during young adulthood and cardiovascular risk factors in later adulthood, according to a study published online May 13 in Diabetes.

Brigitte I. Frohnert, M.D., Ph.D., from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, and colleagues examined the relationship of serum total free fatty acids to adiposity, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular risk factors in 207 individuals at 15 and 22 years of age, as well as their parents.
