Discovery of the day
A longitudinal analysis of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) demonstrates that the triglyceride-glucose index-visceral lipid ratio (TyG-VLR) and its longitudinal patterns are strong predictors of incident cardiovascular disease across cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome stages 0–3. The researchers found that both single-time-point baseline TyG-VLR and repeated-measure cumulative burden, as well as two-time-point trajectories (low-low, low-high, high-low, high-high), significantly associated with cardiovascular risk, with the high-high trajectory conferring the greatest hazard. For a clinical diabetologist leading specialized foot care and diabetes management in India, this finding provides a practical, low-cost biomarker to stratify cardiovascular risk in patients with early CKM syndrome, enabling earlier intervention to prevent complications that often culminate in diabetic foot disease and other adverse outcomes.
