What is estimated glucose disposal rate linked with?
3Studies link estimated glucose disposal rate with 3 measures: vascular dementia, Alzheimer's disease and all-cause dementia.

Vascular dementia

Estimated glucose disposal rate is linked with a lower risk of vascular dementia in humans (HR 0.82 (95% CI 0.78-0.85)).
“each 1-unit higher eGDR was associated with lower risk of ACD (HR 0.92, 95% CI 0.90-0.94), AD (0.94, 0.92-0.97), and VaD (0.82, 0.78-0.85)”
