Summary

Story summary

The study links METS-IR to stroke risk in Chinese adults with CKM syndrome stages 0–3, showing higher METS-IR predicts risk.
Limitations include self-reported data and unaddressed competing risks; further studies are needed to assess applicability in younger populations and other countries.
A METS-IR value of 29.58 may indicate increased stroke risk; METS-IR is validated as a cost-effective insulin-resistance indicator.
