- The C-reactive protein-triglyceride glucose index (CTI) combines inflammation and insulin resistance, factors linked to osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
- Analysis of NHANES 1999-2010 data from 6,395 adults showed CTI significantly correlates with OA risk in a non-linear way, peaking at CTI=8.35.
- Subgroup analyses confirmed the CTI-OA association across populations, but CTI was not significantly associated with RA after adjusting for metabolic and lifestyle factors.
