Association between advanced lung cancer inflammation index and gallstone prevalence among U.S. adults: A population-based study
This study demonstrates that ALI is significantly associated with the risk of gallstones, particularly among women. As a simple and readily accessible indicator, ALI may help identify high-risk populations and provide a new clinical tool for the prevention and management of gallstones. Future longitudinal studies should further validate these findings and evaluate the predictive value of ALI across different populations.
