Near-term implementable finding

Comparative performance of insulin resistance-related indices in predicting adverse cardiovascular events among individuals with NAFLD and MASLD: a multi-center cohort study

Researchers identified which blood sugar resistance measure best predicts heart risk in fatty liver patients, guiding doctors toward the most useful risk assessment.

A multicenter cohort study systematically compared multiple insulin resistance-related indices for predicting major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with NAFLD/MASLD, a rapidly growing cardiometabolic patient population. The comparative analysis identifies which IR index offers the most accurate CV risk stratification in NAFLD/MASLD, providing clinically actionable guidance for risk-based preventive strategies.
