Sex-specific Trajectories of Insulin Resistance Markers and Reduced Renal Function During 18 Years of Follow-up: TLGS

J Clin Endocrinol MetabPublished Prospective population-based cohort study

Authors' conclusion

An increasing trend of HOMA-IR is associated with a higher risk of CKD in men and women. Among clinical IR surrogate markers, abnormal trajectory patterns of LAP in women and TyG and VAI in both sexes are associated with a higher risk of CKD.
