Abstract:ImportanceThe ratio of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) to albumin concentration (RAR) has emerged as a reliable prognostic marker for mortality in patients with various diseases. However, whether RAR is associated with mortality in the general population remains unknown.ObjectivesTo explore whether RAR is associated with all-cause and cause-specific mortality and to elucidate their dose-response association.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis population-based prospective cohort study used data from p… Show more
