Description
Guo and colleagues tested a metabolic score against leg artery disease in diabetes, in a 2026 study. The triglyceride-glucose index reflects insulin resistance, and versions of it fold in waist measures of central obesity. The team reviewed more than twenty-two hundred patients with type 2 diabetes at one hospital and checked their ankle-brachial readings and scans.
The plain index and its waist-based versions each tracked independently with peripheral artery disease. The version using waist-to-height ratio separated patients best, though still not well enough to screen alone. A version built on body mass index performed weakest. The authors cast the score as a supporting clue, not a stand-alone test.
