New insights into the association between cardiometabolic index with metabolic profile, nutritional status, and inflammaging in older adults.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cardiometabolic index (CMI) has been highlighted as a useful tool for predicting cardiovascular and metabolic disease, but its association with systemic inflammatory status in the aged population is not yet fully understood. Thus, we investigated the association between the CMI and the triad -metabolic profile X body mass index X inflammaging -in older adults classified as having or not having obesity.

Methods

A total of 132 older adults of both sexes (women-68; men-64, mean age of 71.3±6.5 years), participated in this study. Demographic and anthropometric data, as well as blood samples, were collected to assess blood glucose, lipids, protein, and inflammatory profiles.

Results

Initially, the volunteers were separated according to the CMI values into two
