A cross-sectional study of factors associated with carotid atherosclerosis
Carotid atherosclerosis is highly prevalent in men. Elevation of systolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, MHR, and TyG-BMI (or METS-IR) with age are independent influences on carotid atherosclerosis. The three indexes of MHR, TyG-BMI, and METS-IR, respectively, in combination with sex and age, can be used as a new and effective index to predict CAS.
