Dyslipidemia is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease. The C-reactive protein - triglyceride - glucose index (CTI), which reflects insulin resistance and systemic inflammation, has increasingly been recognized as a potential marker for metabolic disturbances. However, its predictive value for incident dyslipidemia remains uncertain, and the role of physical activity in this association requires further clarification. This study prospectively examined the association between CTI and the risk of dyslipidemia, and further assessed whether physical activity modifies this relationship in middle-aged and older Chinese adults.
