- The study investigates the association between the C-reactive protein-triglycerides-glucose index-waist to height ratio (a combined marker) and cardiometabolic multimorbidity in middle-aged and older adults.
- It uses a nationwide cohort design, indicating a large-scale, longitudinal observational study.
- Key factors involved include inflammation (via C-reactive protein), insulin resistance (via triglycerides-glucose index), and abdominal obesity (via waist-to-height ratio).
- The study highlights the importance of this combined index for predicting or assessing risk of multiple coexisting cardiometabolic conditions.
- Ethical approval was obtained from Peking University, and all participants provided informed consent.
