Description
Liting Zhang and co-authors link a simple insulin resistance score to heart risk in Chinese patients with high blood pressure. The head dates the study to 2023, though the catalog lists 2024. The score, METS-IR, is computed from routine labs and body mass, no insulin test needed. Its power to forecast outcomes in this group was untested.
The cohort followed over fourteen thousand patients for about four years. Heart events, heart deaths, and deaths overall each climbed with the score, whether it was split into bands or read as a continuum. The pattern held across age, sex, and other subgroups. The authors argue the cheap score can flag high-risk patients early, using tests clinics already run.
