Associations between cardiometabolic index with kidney stones: evidence from NHANES 2007-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Kidney stones are a prevalent disorder that is linked to a range of metabolic variables. The cardiometabolic index (CMI) is a newly developed combined measure used to evaluate the state of cardiometabolic health. Nevertheless, the association between CMI and kidney stone remains little investigated.

Methods

In this study, cross-sectional analysis was done on NHANES data from 2007 to 2018. The association between the prevalence of kidney stones and the CMI was investigated using a logistic regression analysis. To look into the nonlinear link between them, we used restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis. The study was made more reliable and accurate by using sensitivity analysis and subgroup analysis to look for factors that may have contributed to the different resu
