Cardiometabolic index and mortality risks: elevated cancer and reduced cardiovascular mortality risk in a large cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With metabolic disorders on the rise globally, the cardiometabolic index (CMI) has emerged as a crucial predictor of mortality risks linked to cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. This novel index, which combines lipid metabolism and body composition, is the focus of this study, aimed at exploring its association with all-cause and specific mortality in an all-age adult population.

Methods

A longitudinal cohort study including 5,728 participants aged over 18 from nine cycles between 2001 and 2018 was enrolled and assessed. CMI served as the exposure variable, while outcomes included all-cause mortality and mortality due to cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes. The Cox frailty model and average marginal effects were employed to evaluate the contrib
