Development of a Weighted Cardiometabolic Disease Staging (CMDS) System for the Prediction of Future Diabetes

Metabolic syndrome traits are important risk factors for diabetes; however, each trait has different predictive power for future diabetes. Additionally, the impact of insulin resistance on metabolic profile can differ by gender and racial group, suggesting that gender-race specific prediction algorithms for diabetes may be warranted. To develop a quantitative scoring system based on weighting of risk components in the cardiometabolic disease...
