Association of cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, and glucose index and modified indices in predicting cardiovascular diseases incidence among population with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome stages 0-3: a nationwide prospective cohort study.

A composite index combining cholesterol and glucose predicts heart and kidney disease in metabolic syndrome, refining risk stratification approaches.

This nationwide Chinese prospective cohort study examined CHG composite indices for CVD prediction across cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome stages, a relatively new AHA classification framework. CHG indices showed consistent independent predictive utility, supporting their potential integration into cardiometabolic risk assessment for CKM syndrome populations.
