Serum N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Is Associated With Insulin Resistance in Chinese: Danyang Study.

ABSTRACT: The association of serum N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) with insulin resistance (IR), as measured by homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), in the general population is unclear. Our study aimed to characterize its relationship in a large community-based population. Subjects were recruited from the Danyang city between 2017 and 2019. Serum NT-proBNP was measured using an enhanced chemiluminescence immunoassay. IR was defined by a HOMA-IR in the highest sex-specific quartile. Categorical and continuous analyses were performed with sex-specific NT-proBNP tertiles and naturally logarithmically transformed NT-proBNP (lnNTproBNP), respectively. The 2945 participants (mean age 52.8 years) included 1728 (58.7%) women, 1167 (39.6%) hypertensive patients
