Metabolic syndrome: what a 17,000-person cohort actually showed
A prospective cohort of 17,705 middle-aged and older Chinese adults tracked across cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic stages 0 to 3. After full adjustment, each one-unit rise in the composite index was associated with a 111 per cent increase in all-cause mortality. Observational, one country, one index, no mechanism.
