Experts analyzed 3,395 participants to investigate the association between the cardiometabolic index (CMI) and gallstones (GS) and the mediating role of diabetes. Results indicated a significant positive correlation between elevated CMI and GS prevalence, with a 23% increased risk per unit rise in log-transformed CMI. Diabetes mediated 15.1% of this association. These findings highlight the importance of co-managing lipids and glucose.
