The novel nutritional metabolic risk index and established triglyceride-glucose indices in type 2 diabetes: modifying role of biological aging assessed by telomere length
Background Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) derivatives are recognized markers of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) risk. However, the association between composite indices integrating nutritional and metabolic status and biological aging in T2DM patients remains unclear. Methods Data from 4,572 adults were analyzed to evaluate the association between four indices, including the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), TyG, triglyceride glucose-waist-to-height ratio (TyG-WHtR), and the composite nutritional metabolic risk index (NM …
