Description
Nan Zhang and six co-authors report a 2023 cohort study on stroke risk in people with high blood pressure in rural China. They focus on the triglyceride-glucose index, a simple score built from blood fat and blood sugar tests. The score serves as a stand-in for insulin resistance, a state in which the body responds poorly to insulin.
The team followed more than seven thousand patients and tracked who had a first stroke. People with higher scores faced a clearly higher risk, and the risk rose step by step across score groups. Age changed the link: older patients with high scores had the highest risk of all. The authors suggest the cheap score could help flag patients who need closer care and earlier steps to prevent stroke.
