- Study examines cardiometabolic index (CMI) and its link to advanced cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome.
- CMI, calculated as (triglycerides/HDL-cholesterol) × (waist/height), identifies elevated cardiometabolic risk.
- Analysis uses cross-sectional data from NHANES (USA) and CHARLS (China) cohorts.
- Higher CMI independently associated with advanced CKM in both populations.
- Strongest association found in highest CMI quartile vs. lowest.
- Linear relationship in NHANES; non-linear in CHARLS with threshold at CMI=0.509.
- Findings support CMI's utility in risk stratification; prospective studies needed.
