The CTI Score: A Sharper Lens on Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Risk
A new composite index built from C-reactive protein, triglycerides and glucose tracked 7,280 adults for nearly a decade — and outperformed its parts at flagging who progressed.

Early science suggests the metabolic chaos behind type 2 diabetes may also drive memory loss and silent artery damage — and that treating one upstream signal could ripple downstream.
A 40,000-person Chinese cohort found that a number you can calculate from a routine lipid panel tracks with incident aortic valve calcification — and inflammation explains part of the link.
Two new datasets reframe metabolic risk from inevitability to variability — hunting the protective phenotypes that shrug off vascular damage, and the routine labs that flag your five-year diabetes window.
The world's most common chronic liver disease just got a new name. The bigger shift: doctors now treat it as a cardiometabolic problem, because most patients die of heart disease, not cirrhosis.
New research links liver fibrosis to clogged arteries — and reframes a condition once filed under 'gastro' as a heart-and-metabolism story parents can't afford to ignore.
European, Canadian and U.S. lipid guidelines now endorse a one-time Lp(a) test for every adult. Here's why a number you inherit at birth is finally getting its moment in the cardiology clinic.
A quiet genetic shift called CHIP is turning up more often as we age — and researchers are connecting it to heart and blood disease. Here's what the evidence actually says.
A 2025 systematic review maps where plant-based eating moves the metabolic needle — and where the evidence still thins out. Here's what a busy 40-year-old should actually take from it.
