Determining whether someone has cardiometabolic disease (CMD), especially in the early stages, can be complicated. Risk stratification ordinarily depends on an extended process relying on medical history that typically considers blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking and diabetes status. Physicians have long relied on these key patient characteristics to assess CMD risk. However, these widely used clinical assessments are often identified later in life and by definition, in those individuals with progressed disease. This is partly because the onset of CMD naturally occurs in adulthood, however, the underlying processes can occur much earlier in life, even in the absence of obvious symptoms. For one thing, the pathways towards pathology may exist for years before symptom onset. Thus, among other things, there are opportunities to provide doctors with better insights into future disease prediction especially in younger adults with diabetes. The rapid rise in CMD together with the increased rates of obesity and diabetes in this population only emphasises the importance of predictive molecular biomarkers. One notable aspect is that traditional risk scores, such as those based on cholesterol measurements, are frequently found to be within normal ranges in younger populations. At the same time, given the significant overlap in risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes, the unmet clinical need is for early biomarkers of CMD that may help improve risk assessment in younger adults. This editorial highlights advances in the use of polygenic risk scores and emerging utility of genetic biomarkers to define intermediate CMD phenotypes discussing new classification criteria involving DNA methylation of genes to improve risk assessment. CMD is the number one cause of mortality and accounts for 31% of all global deaths. CMD is also multifactorial, comprising cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes that have significant overlap in risk factors and disease biology. Diabetes is arguably the strongest risk factor for CVD development. Accounting for almost 90% of diabetes cases worldwide, type 2 diabetes (T2D) affects about 527 million people. The global economic burden is estimated at 1.3 trillion USD annually and is close to 1.8% of global GDP [1]. Despite the progress in preventive and therapeutic measures of CVD, the increasing CMD rates only underscore the important need of molecular biomarkers for early detection [2]. Determining whether someone has CMD usually involves an extended diagnostic process that has become essential for risk stratification and disease prevention [3]. While the onset of CMD typically occurs in adulthood, disease development commences much earlier, and this has scientists questioning whether molecular biomarkers could improve current prognostic risk scores. Predicting which people with T2D are most likely to develop CVD remains a significant challenge despite the recent advances in genetic mapping.
