- The study investigates the link between the C-reactive protein-triglyceride-glucose index (CTI) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in middle-aged and older adults with arthritis.
- Using data from CHARLS and a hospital-based cohort, higher baseline CTI and cumulative CTI exposure were associated with increased incident CVD risk in arthritis patients.
- Subgroup and sensitivity analyses supported the association, though the CTI's incremental predictive value for CVD was found to be modest.
