RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: A group of characteristics known as metabolic syndrome raises the chance of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Insulin resistance (IR) and obesity are regarded as critical metabolic syndrome pathophysiology. OBJECTIVES: The diagnostic accuracy of IR indicators, triglyceride (TG) glucose index-neck circumference (TyG-NC), and TG glucose index-neck-to-height ratio (TyG-NHtR) to be evaluated for the detection of cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome in nondiabetic individuals. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted and passed by the Ethics Committee of the institute. The age should be 18 years or older, and subjects should not have diabetes. Each patient's clinical information was gathered, and lab tests were run. The study was done for a period of 1 year. RESULTS: The study has 100 participants. Around 74% of the group was women. Only 26.5% of the group had an obesity diagnosis. Poor fasting plasma glucose levels were found in 19.4% of the research team. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC)-area under the curve (AUC) testing revealed that all examined IR indices can differentiate individuals with metabolic syndrome from those who are healthy. Our analysis laid out the soaring high area under the ROC curve for TyG index and the low stunted area under the ROC curve for TyG-NC. For obesity, all indices showed appreciable diagnostic efficacy, indicating the maximum achieved area under the ROC curve for TyG index and the minimum recorded metabolic score for IR. The AUC in the case of the metabolic score for IR (METS-IR) male sample population was found to be not statistically compelling. CONCLUSION: The exploration of indirect indices, the proposed ones, namely TyG-NC and TyG-NHtR, emphasized an intricate link between cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome.

Background: Considering the potential clinical and therapeutic implications, there is a need to determine whether or not COVID infection induces or unmasks new-onset/newly diagnosed hypertension/diabetes during the acute phase and post-COVID-19. Aim: In the current article, we discuss the current data at the intersection of COVID, hypertension, and COVID and diabetes, from prevalence, risk factors, and underlying mechanisms during an acute and post-COVID phase; focusing on new-onset hypertension and new onset type 2 diabetes. Method: We have performed a literature search via online databases such as PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar from December 2019-August 2022. The data from various studies and review articles have been included. Results: Current evidence suggests the occurrence of new-onset hypertension and new onset type 2 diabetes in patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Data also indicate a higher risk of negative outcomes in these patients. Conclusions: It is evident that the tenacity of these new-onset diseases post-COVID-19 is likely to have huge implications in terms of unexpected morbidity. Therefore, screening and follow-up of these patients seems reasonable. Clinicians shall have to deal with this evolving challenge and adequately equip themselves to address this facet of COVID-19 as well. Further data from various follow-up studies and registries like the CoviDIAB Project is required to be better equipped to propose exact recommendations for patients with NOD. On the contrary, more evidence is required for incidence and long-term sequelae for patients with new-onset hypertension. How to cite this article: Gupta A, Duggal R.
