    A new data analysis by epidemiology researcher Tarang Parekh finds that millions of Americans are unknowingly progressing through stages of a newly defined condition—cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome. CKM links three of the most common chronic diseases in the U.S. and may better predict risk for heart attack, kidney failure, or diabetes-related complications than any one diagnosis alone.
