Near-term implementable finding

A Cross-Nationally Validated Nomogram for Cardiometabolic Multimorbidity in Overweight/Obese Older Adults: CHARLS and HRS Cohorts.

AIMS: Middle-aged and older adults with overweight or obesity are at increased risk of cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM), yet validated prediction tools tailored to this population remain limited. The external HRS validation showed fair discrimination, suggesting that model recalibration may be necessary before broad cross-national implementation.
