Transition of cardiometabolic status and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus among middle-aged and older Chinese: A national cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/introduction

The cardiometabolic index (CMI) has been proposed as a novel indicator of cardiometabolic status. This study aimed to investigate the effects of CMI and its longitudinal transitions on the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus in middle-aged and older Chinese.

Materials and methods

We used data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (2011-2018). CMI was calculated as the product of the waist circumference to height ratio and the triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio. At baseline in 2011, the subjects were classified into low- and high-CMI groups, and then divided into four transition patterns during follow-up, i.e. maintained-low, low-to-high, high-to-low, and maintained-high CMI. The hazard ratios (HRs) of different
