- Study evaluates 12 composite metabolic indices for predicting carotid plaque (CP) in a Chinese cohort.
- 10,407 participants from the Dalian Health Management Cohort were analyzed over a median follow-up of 2.4 years.
- 17.6% of participants developed CP during the study period.
- All 12 metabolic indices showed significant associations with incident CP.
- Lipoprotein combined index (LCI) had the strongest association and best predictive performance for CP.
- Findings suggest LCI as a noninvasive tool for identifying high-risk individuals for subclinical atherosclerosis.
