Metabolic Score for Insulin Resistance and New-Onset Type 2 Diabetes in a Middle-Aged and Older Adult Population: Nationwide Prospective Cohort Study and Implications for Primary Care

Abstract

METS-IR was significantly associated with new-onset T2DM, regardless of baseline BP level. Regular monitoring of METS-IR on top of routine blood glucose in clinical practice may add to the ability to enhance the early identification of primary care populations at risk for T2DM.
