The study investigated the possible role of insulin levels as a risk factor of heart disease. The study included 7,246 non diabetic, working men, aged 43–54 years, initially free from heart disease, and followed for 63 months on average.
Ducimetiere found that insulin levels were associated with heart disease and concluded: "high insulin levels may constitute an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease complications in middle aged non diabetic men".
High insulin levels are caused by high carbohydrate diets
