Abstract

BACKGROUND: The glucose disposal rate (eGDR) and a body shape index (ABSI) are predictors strongly associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and outcomes. However, whether they have additive effects on CVD risk is unknown. This study aimed to investigate whether combined assessment of eGDR and ABSI could improve prediction of CVD risk.
