Abstract
This review aims to show, by an analysis of the literature on the topic, that hyperinsulinemia associated with insulin resistance is a multiple risk factor for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cellular senescence and cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. This condition is progressively increasing in developed and developing countries, and its prevalence has now exceeded 50% of the general population. Since it is asymptomatic or poorly symptomatic, it can last for many years before manifesting itself in the form of type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, neoplasm, cognitive impairment or dementia, therefore determining enormous social and health care costs. For these reasons, we strongly believe that a screening plan for this pathology should be implemented, in order to identify affected subjects and promptly start them on preventive treatment.
