Description
A simple blood-fat score may flag diabetes risk even in folk who are not obese. The head of this cohort study is dated 2024 (the catalog says 2025). Jun Cao and seven co-authors followed near eighty-three thousand lean Chinese adults for a median of just over three years. The score, called the atherogenic index of plasma, blends two fat marks into one number. About one in eighty of the group got diabetes in the window.
High scores went with high risk in a strong, bent curve: risk rose faster at the top of the scale. The top quarter of scores bore about half again the risk of the bottom quarter. Side checks by age, sex, and other traits kept the link. The team say trimming blood fats or lifting the good fat could cut the risk the score names.
