Description
Yeshen Zhang, leading eleven colleagues, published a 2026 national cohort study of a combined inflammation and insulin resistance index and death risk in cardiovascular-kidney-liver-metabolic syndrome. The index marries a C-reactive protein and triglyceride-glucose measure with body shape measures. Data came from 14,203 affected adults in a United States survey spanning 1999 to 2018, followed for a median of over eleven years.
The highest quarter of the combined indices carried the lowest survival and raised risks of cardiovascular and overall death in adjusted models reported by the authors. Competing risk analysis, which accounts for other causes of death, confirmed the cardiovascular link. Curve shapes varied between linear and nonlinear across indices, and subgroup checks supported the pattern.
