Association between the metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) and arterial stiffness among health check-up population in Japan: a retrospective cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This study examined the association between the metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR), a novel surrogate indicator of insulin resistance, and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) in Japanese health check participants.

Methods

A cross-sectional research was conducted involving individuals in a program of medical health screening at the Medical Health Check-up Center in Japan. The study assessed the connection between METS-IR and baPWV in 912 participants who joined the program between 3/1/2004 and 12/31/2012. Serum laboratory tests and lifestyle surveys were the covariates. Multivariate linear regression analysis and subgroup analyses were performed.

Results

912 participants were involved in this cross-sectional study. Adjusted for age, sex, BMI, A
