Surrogate markers for insulin resistance help predict hypertension, hyperuricaemia
Insulin resistance surrogate measures may help signal hypertension (HTN) and hyperuricaemia (HUA), a new study has found. In particular, the combination of the production of glucose and triglycerides (TyG index) with body mass index (BMI), as well as METS-IR, a novel noninsulin-based fasting score, seem to have good discriminative abilities for HTN and HUA.
