Presenting non-insulin-based indices of insulin resistance relevant to pre-hypertension: A systematic review and meta-analysis
This meta-analysis reveals that non-insulin-based IR indices are associated with a higher risk of pre-HTN. However, given the cross-sectional design of all included studies, a causal relationship cannot be inferred. As cost-effective and user-friendly tools, they could aid in the early detection and prevention of HTN, but further prospective and longitudinal research is needed to confirm these findings and establish causality.
