Cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, and glucose (CHG) index and incident impaired fasting glucose in Chinese adults: a retrospective longitudinal cohort stud... (opens in new tab)

BackgroundDiabetes mellitus poses a critical global public health burden, with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) being a crucial prediabetic state requiring early identification. The cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, and glucose (CHG) index, a novel composite marker integrating TC, HDL-C, and FPG, has shown promise in assessing cardiometabolic risk. However, longitudinal evidence on its association with incident IFG, particularly in populations with normal baseline FPG, remains limited. Thi...
