C-reactive protein-triglyceride-glucose index
C-reactive protein-triglyceride-glucose index has been studied in 3 papers since 2026: 3 observational studies in people; 3 in the past year. The newest paper, Jun 10, 2026: “Association of the C-reactive protein-triglyceride-glucose (CTI) index and its central obesity-modified derivatives with incident cardiometabolic multimorbidity: results from two prospective cohorts in China and England”.
