Description
Zhenzhen Mo, Bilian Chen, and Minyi Wu test a combined health index in 2025 against heart disease and death in US adults. The index folds body mass, fasting sugar, blood fats, and a liver enzyme ratio into one score. It was built for metabolic strain, yet its weight for heart outcomes was unclear.
Records of 18,609 adults from a national survey spanning 1999 to 2018 fed the study. Models linked the index to current heart disease, and tracked deaths from all causes and from heart disease over time. Extra checks, dropping early deaths and those already ill, held the pattern, they report. A single cheap score that flags heart risk could help clinics rank who needs the closest watch.
