Discovery of the day
This prospective cohort study from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing demonstrates that joint longitudinal trajectories of the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index combined with BMI and waist-to-height ratio are strongly predictive of incident cardiovascular disease. The researchers identified distinct patterns of metabolic change over time, with individuals exhibiting sustained elevations in TyG index together with increasing adiposity measures facing the highest cardiovascular risk. For a clinician leading diabetes care in India, where the dual burden of insulin resistance and central obesity is prevalent, this trajectory-based approach offers a practical tool for identifying high-risk patients early and implementing more intensive cardiometabolic preventive strategies.
