Description
Ting Liu and co-authors follow a combined sugar and body-shape index against multiple cardiometabolic diseases in a 2026 cohort study. More than five thousand Chinese adults from a national aging study were tracked from 2011 to 2020. The index joins a triglyceride-glucose insulin resistance marker with a waist-based shape measure, using both single and repeated readings.
About eight percent developed at least two of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes during follow-up. The highest quarter of the combined index carried well over twice the risk of the lowest quarter. Repeated, cumulative readings predicted better than one-off values, especially over five years. Patterns differed by sex, with a threshold shape in women. Community screening programs gain a cheap, noninvasive risk tool built from routine measures, suited to aging populations.
