Associations of neutrophil/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio with frailty and its mortality.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Frailty is an increasingly important determinant in the field of health, and its identification has important clinical significance in the field of critical care medicine. However, there are still a large number of challenges in quick and accurate identification of frailty. This study aims to evaluate the value of the neutrophil/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHR) in frailty and its long-term survival.

Methods

Adult participants from seven study cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database were included. Frailty was assessed with a 49-item Frailty Index (FI). Weighted logistic regression, restricted cubic spline (RCS), and Cox regression were used to analyze the association of NHR with frailty and its long-term surv
