Estimated glucose disposal rate is used to examine links between insulin resistance and overall subclinical cerebrovascular atherosclerotic burden; a community-imaging study inviting readers to review methods and implications.
Key Takeaways
- Lower eGDR, a surrogate marker of insulin resistance, was associated with higher subclinical cerebrovascular atherosclerotic burden.
- Study analyzed community-dwelling adults aged 45 and older without diagnosed diabetes using multimodal cerebrovascular imaging.
- The analysis adjusted for clinical and laboratory covariates and assessed dose-response relationships between eGDR and atherosclerotic burden.
