Triglyceride–glucose index and atherogenic index of plasma as predictors of cardiovascular risk in rectal cancer survivors
TyG and AIP indices were independently associated with secondary CVD risk in rectal cancer patients, with age-dependent effects. While the predictive improvement was modest, these easily obtainable indices may aid risk stratification when combined with traditional factors. Proteomic findings suggest potential mechanistic pathways warranting further investigation.
