Association between Cardiometabolic Index (CMI) with muscle mass and strength in US adults: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT: Cardiometabolic Index (CMI) is a comprehensive indicator of lipid metabolism and visceral fat distribution, but its relationship with skeletal muscle mass and muscle strength remains unclear. We therefore explored the relationship between CMI and muscle health, providing new insights into the overall assessment of metabolic health. This cross-sectional study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2014 cycles, including 2719 adults aged ≥ 18 years. During the study, participants' Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass Index (ASMI) was determined using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, while their grip strength was measured by applying a dynamometer. CMI was calculated as triglycerides divided by high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, multiplied by waist-to-he
