Is MVX the New Frontier in Predicting All Cause Mortality? – Dr. William Cromwell –

Dr. William Cromwell discusses the complex interaction of metabolic and inflammatory factors in determining mortality risks, beyond traditional cardiovascular risk factors. He introduces the concept of the Metabolic Vulnerability Index (MVX), which combines six biomarkers to better predict mortality risks in various populations. His studies illustrate that mortality can be significantly predicted by metabolic and inflammatory vulnerabilities, suggesting a need to shift focus towards managing these broader health markers rather than solely traditional factors like cholesterol and blood pressure. Dr. Cromwell emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive, patient-centered approach in healthcare, advocating for continuous learning and adaptation in medical practice to better understand and manage individual health risks.
