Insulin Resistance & Chronic Disease
For Radiant Health · Evidence Summary
Pearson r correlation coefficients between insulin resistance prevalence and condition prevalence in the USA and UK, 1975–2022. Ordered by estimated number of people affected (highest first). Rise figures show the change in condition prevalence from 1975 to 2022 based on the data series used in the individual condition analyses.

Strength key:
Dominant = r ≥ 0.90 — insulin resistance accounts for the overwhelming majority of the trend.
Strong = r 0.80–0.89 — insulin resistance is a major driver alongside other contributing factors.
Moderate = r 0.70–0.79 — meaningful relationship; other factors also significant.
Rise figures reflect the data series used in the individual condition analyses (1975–2022 unless noted). Alzheimer's figures are for adults 65+. MS figures are per 100,000 population. Ordering is by approximate number of people affected across the USA and UK combined.
