description PurposeIt is crucial to identify biomarkers that influence the aging process and associated health risks, given the growing severity of the global population aging issue. The objectives of our research were to evaluate cardiac metabolic index (CMI) as a novel biomarker for identifying individuals at increased risk of accelerated biological aging and to assess its use in guiding preventive strategies for aging-related health risks.MethodsThe National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) provided cross-sectional data on participants with complete information on CMI, phenotypic age (PA), and other variables. Analyses of variance and weighted χ2 tests were conducted to assess differences between groups. The relationship between CMI and biological aging was investigated using a weighted multivariate logistic regression model, restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression analysis, subgroup analysis, and interaction testing.ResultsA positive correlation between CMI and biological aging was observed in 6,272 participants. RCS regression analysis confirmed the non-linear relationship, identifying significant inflection point at 1.10. In the crude or adjusted models, the OR (95% CI), for the highest group versus the reference were 3.608 (3.108, 4.188), 3.397 (2.920, 3.952), and 1.550 (1.299, 1.850), respectively, when categorizing CMI into different groups. Subgroup analyses and interaction tests indicate that the association between CMI and biological aging remained consistent across different subgroups. Gender, race, education level, marital status, poverty income ratio (PIR), drinking status and diabetes had an interaction with CMI in relation to biological aging.ConclusionAn elevated CMI is linked to increased risk for biological aging. This relationship may inform more effective prevention and treatment strategies for biological aging in the future. CMI be integrated into routine health screenings or aging assessments by healthcare professionals.
