Describing trauma patient characteristics and care provided at a referral hospital in Mwanza, Tanzania: a prospective cross-sectional study.

Adult-based genetic risk scores for insulin resistance associate with cardiometabolic traits in children and adolescents.

Context: Insulin resistance (IR) is a key factor in the development of cardiometabolic diseases. While genetic risk scores (GRSs) for IR have been developed and validated in adult population, it is unclear if they can be used for risk assessment in youth.

Objective: Our objective was to investigate whether adult-derived genetic risk scores (GRSs) for insulin resistance (IR) associate with cardiometabolic traits in children and adolescents.
