Objective: To evaluate the association between adiponectin concentrations and metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk and to investigate if this association is independent of weight status in adolescents.
Methods: Adiponectin concentrations and MetS risk were assessed in 4546 Brazilian adolescents (12-17 years old) enrolled in The Study of Cardiovascular Risks in Adolescents ("ERICA"), a cross-sectional multicenter study in Brazil. For analyses, adiponectin was categorized in sex and age-specific quartiles and MetS risk was expressed as a continuous score, calculated as the average of the standardized values (z-score) of the five MetS components. Multiple linear regression models were used to investigate the association between the quartiles of adiponectin and MetS risk.
Results: Adiponectin was inversely associated with waist circumference and log-transformed triglycerides, and positively associated with HDL-c. We also observed an inverse association between adiponectin concentrations and MetS risk. After adjustment for sociodemographic variables, physical activity, skipping breakfast and body mass index (BMI), higher quartiles of adiponectin remained inversely associated with waist circumference and MetS risk. A direct association between adiponectin and HDL-c was also observed. In further analysis, the sample was stratified by weight status and an inverse association between quartiles of adiponectin and MetS risk was observed in both normal weight and overweight/obese adolescents.
Conclusion: Higher adiponectin concentrations were independently and inverse associated with MetS risk in Brazilian adolescents, even after adjusting for BMI. These results were similar in normal weight and overweight/obese adolescents, suggesting that adiponectin may play a role in early development of MetS.

Arterial stiffness mediates insulin resistance-related risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: a real-life, prospective cohort study.
Eur J Prev Cardiol

Department of Cardiology, Kailuan General Hospital, Tangshan 063001, Hebei, CN.
Background: The precise pathways connecting insulin resistance (IR) to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remain undefined. The present study aimed to examine the mediating role of arterial stiffness in the association between IR and ASCVD, providing epidemiology insights into the potential mechanisms driving IR to incident ASCVD.
Methods: A total of 59,777 participants from the Kailuan Study Arterial Stiffness Subcohort who were free of ASCVD at baseline were enrolled in the present study.
Steroid-induced diabetes in lupus nephritis patients: Classic risk factors or a different type of diabetes?
Lupus

Department of Medical Education, INCMNSZ, Ciudad de Mexico, Mexico.
Background: Glucocorticoids are frequently employed in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and play a critical role in the induction therapy of lupus nephritis (LN), despite their many side effects, including steroid-induced diabetes (SID). Information regarding SID in SLE patients is quite scant.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine risk factors associated with the development of SID in patients with LN.
Association between non-insulin-based insulin resistance indicators and frailty progression: a national cohort study and mendelian randomization analysis.

Background: Insulin resistance (IR) is linked to an increased risk of frailty, yet it remains unclear whether the non-insulin-based IR indicators are associated with frailty trajectories and physical function decline. It aimed to examine the associations of triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR), estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) and with long-term deficit-accumulation frailty trajectories and physical function decline.
Methods: Data from 6722 participants in the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were analyzed.

Background: The coexistence of cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs), defined as cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM), has been shown to significantly elevate mortality risk. Insulin resistance (IR) is one of the main contributing factors to the pathogenesis of CMM. Although several surrogates for IR are employed in clinical evaluations, their relationship with mortality in individuals with CMM remains unclear.

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, No. 87 Xiangya Road, Kaifu District, Changsha, Hunan, China.
Background: Insulin resistance (IR) is a central pathophysiological factor in metabolic syndrome (MetS) and an essential driver of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. The estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) is a reliable marker of IR and has been associated with CVD prognosis. This study aims to examine the relationship between eGDR, MetS, and their predictive roles in clinical outcomes.
