Description
Chun Yang and co-authors study a long term insulin resistance score and heart disease in Chinese adults in a 2025 paper. Insulin resistance is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and a metabolic score can stand in for it. Whether years of high scores predict new disease was unexplored in China. The team followed 5264 middle aged and older adults from a national aging study.
Over four years, about ten percent developed cardiovascular disease. Higher average scores across two measures years apart raised total disease risk in a dose pattern. The top score group faced higher heart disease risk but no clear stroke risk. Risk was sharper in men, smokers, drinkers, and people with normal blood pressure. Readers see value in tracking the score over time.
