The association between HbA1c/HDL-C and the incidence of cardiometabolic multimorbidity in middle-aged and elderly adults: Results from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) refers to a cluster of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are widely used to assess glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism disorders, respectively, given their close association with the onset of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to investigate the association between the HbA1c/HDL-C ratio and the incidence of newly diagnosed CMM in individuals aged 45 and older, using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) database.

Method

Our study utilized data from the CHARLS database from 2011 to 2018. A multivariate logistic regression model was estab
