Multiple cardiometabolic diseases enhance the adverse effects of hypoalbuminemia on mortality among centenarians in China: a cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although hypoalbuminemia was associated with high risk of mortality in community-dwelling older adults, as well as in the hospitalized older adults, little is known among centenarians. And there are limited data on whether having cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) is associated with additive effects.

Methods

Baseline examinations including a determination of albumin levels were performed in 1002 Chinese centenarians from January 2014 through to December 2016, and the survival status was subsequently ascertained until 31 May 2021. Cox proportional risk model was performed to assess the risk of all-cause mortality associated with albumin levels and hypoalbuminemia combined with CMDs.

Results

Of 1002 participants included in the analysis, the mean level of albumi
