The relationship between cardiometabolic index and the coexistence of hypertension and diabetes in individuals aged 45 and above: insights from two national datasets
To investigate the association between the Cardiometabolic Index (CMI) and the comorbidity of hypertension and diabetes among individuals aged 45 and older in both China and the United States.
Key Findings:
The study found a significant association between higher CMI and the coexistence of hypertension and diabetes, with specific statistical metrics indicating the strength of this association.
CMI may serve as a useful screening tool for identifying individuals at risk for hypertension-diabetes comorbidity.
Interpretation:
The findings suggest that CMI could be an effective metric for stratifying risk and guiding preventive strategies for hypertension and diabetes in older populations, with implications for clinical practice.
Limitations:
The study's cross-sectional design limits causal inferences, making it difficult to establish temporal relationships.
Findings may not be generalizable to younger populations due to the age restrictions of the study cohort.
Conclusion:
The CMI is a promising indicator for assessing the risk of hypertension and diabetes comorbidity, which could inform public health strategies and guide future research directions.
