Research Article: Association between a metabolic score for insulin resistance and hypertension: results from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 20072016 analyses
Abstract
Background: The Metabolic Score for Insulin Resistance (METS-IR) offers a promising and reliable non-insulin-based approach to assess insulin resistance and evaluate cardiometabolic risk. However, evidence for the association between METS-IR and hypertension was still limited.
