Background: The cardiometabolic index (CMI), encompassing obesity and lipid metrics, is potentially linked to kidney stone prevalence in diabetic patients. However, studies on this association are sparse. This research evaluates CMI's impact on kidney stone occurrence in this group.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOur study aimed to investigate the association between RFM and kidney stones, focusing specifically on the mediating role of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). We performed a cross-sectional analysis using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) covering the years 2007 to 2018. Our analytical approach included multivariate logistic regression modeling, subgroup analysis, generalized additive modeling (GAM), smoothed curve fitting, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, as well as mediation analysis to assess the association between RFM and kidney stones.

Article Synopsis
- Depression is prevalent among overweight or obese individuals, and the study investigates the link between a new metric called METS-VF (Metabolic Score for Visceral Fat) and depression severity in U.S. adults.
- The research analyzed data from over 9,400 participants using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) to assess depression and employed various statistical methods to understand the relationship between METS-VF levels and depression.
- Results indicated that higher METS-VF levels correlate with increased depression severity, especially in individuals under 50 years old, suggesting that visceral fat may play a role in mental health issues among overweight or obese adults.
Background: Both lipid metabolism and obesity are crucial factors in osteoporosis, influencing the relevance of the cardiometabolic index (CMI), a new body fat index incorporating obesity and lipid metrics. Our study aims to explore the relationship between CMI and lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) and the mediating role of body fat percentage.
Methods: Utilizing the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 2011 to 2018, we conducted a cross-sectional analysis.
Background: This study examines the association between the non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) and urinary stones in American adults.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study utilizing the 2007-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data set. The prevalence of urinary stones was determined based on patient-reported experiences of renal colic.
