Association between the red blood cell distribution width-albumin ratio and cardiovascular diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of death globally, ranking first in terms of morbidity and mortality among non-communicable diseases. Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and albumin (ALB) possess potential clinical application values. Moreover, the ratio of the two, namely RAR, might hold more advantages in disease diagnosis. However, the relationship between RAR and CVD in the general population has not been studied yet.

Method

This represents a study encompassing 12,765 subjects. Logistic regression, Cox regression, restricted cubic splines, mediation analysis, and receiver operating characteristic curves were utilized to probe into the association between RAR and CVD, cardiovascular mortality rate and all-cause mortality rate.
