Researchers examined 24,006 participants and found a significant positive association between the cardiometabolic index (CMI) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk, particularly in individuals with diabetes. Participants with diabetes in the highest CMI tertile had a 114% higher ASCVD risk than those in the lowest tertile. Subgroup analysis revealed significant interactions with glucose metabolism status and drinking status.
