Abstract

Chronic inflammation and insulin resistance underpin frailty; the C-reactive protein-triglyceride-glucose index (CTI) integrates these processes. We assessed the association between CTI and frailty in a nationally representative Chinese population.

Research summary

The paper claims that the C-reactive protein-triglyceride-glucose index is associated with frailty in middle-aged and older adults. This research is relevant as it explores the relationship between chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and frailty, which are important factors in the aging process and age-related diseases.
