Reports a cross-sectional study comparing conventional and composite glycometabolic markers for identifying early vascular aging using arterial stiffness measurements in adults.

Association between glycometabolic indicators and risk of early vascular aging and their predictive value
Key Takeaways
  • Standardized per-1-SD increases in HbA1c, FPG, TyG, and CHG were each associated with higher odds of prevalent EVA.
  • Higher HOMA-β correlated inversely with EVA risk, while HOMA-IR showed a positive association with EVA prevalence.
  • Optimism-corrected AUCs for these markers ranged from 0.592 to 0.671, indicating only modest discrimination for prevalent EVA.
