Discovery of the day
This nationwide cohort study demonstrates that hepatic steatosis, as defined by the fatty liver index, and impaired fasting glucose have distinct and independent associations with the development of diabetes versus cardiovascular events in older adults. Researchers found that while impaired fasting glucose is a stronger predictor of progression to incident diabetes, hepatic steatosis is more closely associated with future cardiovascular events, revealing divergent pathophysiological pathways. For your clinical practice in managing older patients with diabetes and its complications, these findings support a more nuanced risk stratification where the presence of fatty liver should prompt aggressive cardiovascular risk modification, not just glycemic monitoring.
