Cardiometabolic index and the risk of new-onset chronic diseases: results of a national prospective longitudinal study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The cardiometabolic index (CMI) has emerged as a novel marker for evaluating the distribution and dysfunction of visceral adipose tissue, yet its correlation with numerous diseases, particularly new-onset chronic conditions, remains underexplored. Therefore, we aim to explore the association of cardiometabolic index (CMI) and new-onset chronic diseases.

Methods

The analysis utilized data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, with a baseline in 2011 and follow-ups biennially until 2020. Fourteen new-onset chronic diseases were diagnosed based on self-report, and separate cohorts were created for each disease. CMI was calculated as triglycerides/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol multiplied by the waist-to-height ratio. Cox proportional hazards
