Association between atherogenic index and risk of falls: a decade-long prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the association between the Atherogenic Index (AI) and several other untraditional lipid parameters with the risk of falls. The findings may offer novel insights for the prevention and management of falls among middle-aged and older adults.

Methods

This cohort study analyzed data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). AI and other untraditional lipid parameters were calculated from blood samples collected in 2011 and 2015, and fall incidents were self-reported during the follow-up surveys until 2020. Untraditional lipid parameters were analyzed in quartiles. Logistic regression was used to assess their associations with risk of falls with stepwise adjustments. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) and receiver operating characteri
