- The study examines the association between the C-reactive protein-triglyceride-glucose index (CTI) and cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) in middle-aged and older adults.
- Data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), UK English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA), and US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were analyzed.
- Findings show that higher CTI levels are associated with increased prevalence and incidence of CMM, with a 71% higher risk per 1-unit increase in CTI in the CHARLS cohort.
- The study suggests CTI as a potential biomarker for early risk stratification and intervention in populations at risk of CMM.
- Validation in the ELSA cohort supported the findings, indicating consistent associations across different populations.
