Chinese visceral adiposity index outperforms insulin resistance indices in predicting cardiovascular disease risk: a 12-year prospective cohort study (opens in new tab)

AimsThis study investigated and compared the abilities of seven insulin resistance (IR) indices, including the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), TyG-waist circumference (TyG-WC), TyG-waist-to-hip ratio (TyG-WHtR), lipid accumulation product (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI), Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI), and metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) to predict cardiovascular disease (CVD) among participants without a history of CVD.MethodsThe population was recruited fro...
