Association between C-reactive protein-triglyceride glucose index (CTI) and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality risk among the elderly population: insights from three datasets

Its integration into clinical practice could enhance early risk stratification and guide targeted interventions to mitigate mortality risk in aging adults.
