Methods: We conducted a cross sectional study and performed multivariable logistic regression to elucidate the association of inflammatory indicators and metabolic diseases and CVD risk. Metabolic diseases were defined as metabolic disorders (MetD) or its components such as metabolic syndrome (MetS), dyslipidemia and central obesity. 10-year CVD risk was calculated by the Framingham risk score (FRS). Results: Odds ratios for the third vs the first tertile of MHR were 2.727(95%CI, 2.260-3.289) for MetD, 1.939(95%CI, 1.637-2.298) for MetS, 1.648(95%CI, 1.424-1.908) for dyslipidemia and 1.592(95%CI, 1.387-1.827) for central obesity. Odds ratios for the third vs the first tertile of SIRI were 2.171(95%CI, 1.840-2.560) for MetD, 2.018(95%CI, 1.837,2.217) for MetS, 1.368(95%CI, 1.206,1.551) for dyslipidemia and 1.737(95%CI, 1.459,2.068) for central obesity. The odds ratio of a 10-year CVD risk over 30% for the third vs the first tertile of MHR was 1.437 (95% CI, 1.251-1.651) and 1.393 (95% CI, 1.292-1.502) for SIRI. Conclusions: MHR and SIRI had significant association with MetD and its components, which a higher level of MHR or SIRI tended to accompany with a higher risk of metabolic diseases. Besides, they also correlated to the CVD which the increment of these indicators brought a gradually evaluated risk of 10-year CVD.
