Association between various insulin resistance indices and cardiovascular disease in middle-aged and elderly individuals: evidence from two prospectives nationwide cohort surveys

Abstract

As continuous variables, eGDR, TyG, and METS-IR were significantly associated with the incidence of CVD, both currently and in the future, among middle-aged and elderly individuals. Notably, incorporating eGDR, TyG, or METS-IR and the basic model significantly increased the predictive value for CVD. Among these indices, the eGDR index stands out as the most promising parameter for predicting CVD, both at present and in the future.
