Article Synopsis
- Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, with insulin resistance and obesity playing key roles in its pathophysiology.
- The study assessed the diagnostic effectiveness of insulin resistance indicators, specifically the triglyceride glucose index with neck circumference and neck-to-height ratio, in identifying cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome among nondiabetic individuals.
- Findings revealed that while the TyG index was highly effective in differentiating metabolic syndrome, the TyG-NC showed less diagnostic capability, underscoring the connection between these conditions.
