Description
Tong Zhang and Liang V Tang mined UK Biobank data in a 2026 study on the CALLY index. The combined score of inflammation, nutrition, and immune strength was tested as a predictor of death in rheumatoid arthritis. Single markers each capture one slice of health; the blend might see more.
The study followed 5,626 patients for a median of 15.6 years in the tracked cohort. Higher CALLY scores went with clearly lower death risk, in a bent dose pattern with a turning point near 1.054 in the fitted curve. The index re-sorted risk better than any of its three parts alone and matched a fuller combined model. Subgroup checks held steady, backing the cheap score for long-term risk talks.
