The clinical evaluation of the triglyceride-glucose index as a risk factor for coronary artery disease and severity of coronary artery stenosis in patients with chronic kidney disease. Ren Fail 2024; 46:2320261. [PMID: 38411154 PMCID: PMC10901187 DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2024.2320261] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Insulin resistance (IR) plays an important role in the occurrence and development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a simple and effective tool to evaluate IR. This study aimed to evaluate the association of the TyG index with coronary artery disease (CAD) and the severity of coronary artery stenosis (CAS) in nondialysis patients with stages 3-5 CKD. METHODS Nondialysis patients with stages 3-5 CKD who underwent the first coronary angiography at Zhongda Hospital affiliated with Southeast University from August 2015 to January 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. CAS was measured by coronary angiography, and the CAS score was calculated as the Gensini score. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the related factors of CAD and severe CAS. RESULTS A total of 943 patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study and 720 (76.4%) of these patients were diagnosed with CAD. The TyG index in the CAD group (7.29 ± 0.63) was significantly higher than that in the non-CAD group (7.11 ± 0.61) (p < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a higher TyG index was an independent risk factor for CAD in CKD patients after adjusting for related confounding factors (OR = 2.865, 95% CI 1.681-4.885, p < 0.001). Patients in the CAD group were divided into three groups according to the Gensini integral quantile level. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the TyG index was an independent related factor for severe CAS after adjusting for relevant confounding factors (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The TyG index is associated with CAD and the severity of CAS in patients with nondialysis stages 3-5 CKD. A higher TyG index is an independent factor for CAD and severe CAS.

Diagnostic and prognostic value of triglyceride glucose index: a comprehensive evaluation of meta-analysis. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:310. [PMID: 39180024 PMCID: PMC11344391 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-024-02392-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 08/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/26/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present umbrella review aims to collate and summarize the findings from previous meta-analyses on the Triglyceride and Glucose (TyG) Index, providing insights to clinicians, researchers, and policymakers regarding the usefulness of this biomarker in various clinical settings. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science up to April 14, 2024, without language restrictions. The AMSTAR2 checklist assessed the methodological quality of the included meta-analyses. Statistical analyses were performed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) software. RESULTS A total of 32 studies were finally included. The results revealed significant associations between the TyG index and various health outcomes. For kidney outcomes, a high TyG index was significantly associated with an increased risk of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) (OR = 2.24, 95% CI: 1.82-2.77) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) (RR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.32-1.63). High TyG index was significantly associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (RR = 3.53, 95% CI: 2.74-4.54), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) (OR = 2.41, 95% CI: 1.48-3.91), and diabetic retinopathy (DR) (OR = 2.34, 95% CI: 1.31-4.19). Regarding metabolic diseases, the TyG index was significantly higher in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (SMD = 0.86, 95% CI: 0.57-1.15), metabolic syndrome (MD = 0.83, 95% CI: 0.74-0.93), and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) (OR = 2.36, 95% CI: 1.88-2.97) compared to those without these conditions. In cerebrovascular diseases, a higher TyG index was significantly associated with an increased risk of dementia (OR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.12-1.16), cognitive impairment (OR = 2.31, 95% CI: 1.38-3.86), and ischemic stroke (OR = 1.37, 95% CI: 1.22-1.54). For cardiovascular outcomes, the TyG index showed significant associations with an increased risk of heart failure (HF) (HR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.12-1.30), atrial fibrillation (AF) (SMD = 1.22, 95% CI: 0.57-1.87), and hypertension (HTN) (RR = 1.52, 95% CI: 1.25-1.85). CONCLUSION The TyG index is a promising biomarker for screening and predicting various medical conditions, particularly those related to insulin resistance and metabolic disorders. However, the heterogeneity and methodological quality of the included studies suggest the need for further high-quality research to confirm these findings and refine the clinical utility of the TyG index.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 11:1429413. [PMID: 39040897 PMCID: PMC11260781 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2024.1429413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Background A substantial portion of non-obese population is afflicted with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). The Triglyceride Glucose (TyG) index, a quantifier of insulin resistance magnitude, is determined by the product of fasting plasma glucose and triglyceride concentrations. The relationship between the TyG index and NAFLD within this cohort remains ambiguous. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis utilizing datasets acquired from the Dryad digital repository. Non-obese participants (BMI < 25 kg/m2) were enrolled at the Wenzhou Medical Center of Wenzhou People's Hospital between January 2010 and December 2014. Demographic information and biochemical parameters were systematically compiled, and the diagnosis of NAFLD was established through ultrasonographic evidence. Results This study cohort included 16,172 non-obese participants with a 5-year follow-up, among whom 2,322 (14.36%) developed NAFLD. The disparity between TyG index quartiles in the accumulative incidence of new-onset NAFLD was distinct, with an increasing risk of new-onset NAFLD as the TyG index increased. Participants in highest quartile exhibited the maximum risk of NAFLD. In the fully adjusted model 3, the hazard ratios for NAFLD in Q2, Q3, and Q4 were 2.15 (1.62, 2.87), 2.89 (2.20, 3.80) and 4.58 (3.48, 6.02), respectively. Meanwhile, the TyG index and NAFLD risk showed a highly significant overall correlation (p < 0.0001) and nonlinearity (p < 0.0001) according to the limited cubic splines. In subgroup analysis, a significant interaction was noted between new-onset NAFLD and SBP (<140 mmHg vs. ≥140 mmHg; P for interaction = 0.0114). The SBP < 140 mmHg subgroup demonstrated an enhanced TyG index influence on NAFLD risk (HR = 2.83, 95% CI: 2.48-3.23, p < 0.0001). Conclusion The TyG index serves as a straightforward instrument for assessing NAFLD risk in non-obese individuals, enabling prompt identification and management in this population segment.

[PMID: 38920551 PMCID: PMC11202913 DOI: 10.3390/diseases12060119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals with hyperinsulinemia may initially not meet any diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome, though displaying a higher risk of cardiovascular complications combined with obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. AIM The main objective of our study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of various cardiovascular risk indices in hyperinsulinemic children and adolescents; a secondary objective was to estimate the optimal cut-offs of these indices. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective single-center study was conducted on 139 patients aged 12.1 ± 2.9 years, managed for hyperinsulinism. RESULTS We found statistically significant differences in homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), triglyceride glucose index (TyG), TyG-body mass index, visceral adiposity index, lipid accumulation product index, fatty liver index, and hepatic steatosis index. At the linear logistic regression assessment, we found that insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1), HOMA-IR, and ALT/AST ratio were independently associated with confirmed hyperinsulinism. At the multivariate analysis, IGF-1 levels over 203 ng/mL and HOMA-IR higher than 6.2 were respectively associated with a 9- and 18-times higher odds ratio for hyperinsulinism. The other investigated parameters were not significantly related to hyperinsulinism, and could not predict either the presence of hyperinsulinemia or a subsequent cardiovascular risk in our patients. CONCLUSION Commonly used indices of cardiovascular risk in adults cannot be considered accurate in confirming hyperinsulinism in children, with the exception of HOMA-IR. Further studies are needed to verify the usefulness of specific cardiovascular risk indices in hyperinsulinemic children and adolescents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Insulin resistance (IR) plays an important role in the atherosclerotic process, and the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is a reliable indicator of IR and is strongly associated with cardiovascular disease. However, there are few studies regarding the relationship between the TyG index and chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO). Herein, the correlation between the TyG index and CTO, as well as their interactions with other traditional cardiovascular risk factors, were investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS We enrolled 2691 patients who underwent coronary angiography at Guangyuan Central Hospital from January 2019 to October 2021. TyG index results were used to create three groups using the trichotomous method. CTO was defined as complete occlusion of the coronary artery for ≥3 months. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models, restricted cubic splines, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and subgroup analyses was performed. A significant correlation between the TyG index and CTO was noted. The risk of CTO was increased 2.09-fold in the group with the highest TyG compared with the lowest (OR, 2.09; 95 % CI, 1.05-4.17; P = 0.036). In addition, there was a linear dose-response relationship between the TyG index and CTO (nonlinear P = 0.614). The area under the ROC curve was 0.643 (95 % CI, 0.572-0.654). Using subgroup analyses, we observed that the TyG index was associated with a significantly higher risk of CTO in males and smokers. CONCLUSIONS An elevated TyG index was related to the risk of CTO and may constitute a meaningful predictor of CTO, particularly in males and in smokers.

Abstract
Objective Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains a major and widespread public health concern throughout the world. The prevalence of T2DM in the elderly has risen to the top of the list of public health concerns. In this study, obesity- and lipid-related indices were used to predict T2DM in middle-aged and elderly Chinese adults. Methods The data came from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), including 7902 middle-aged and elderly participants aged 45 years or above. The study assessed the association of obesity- and lipid-related indices and T2DM by measuring 13 indicators, including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference(WC), waist-height ratio (WHtR), conicity index(CI), visceral adiposity index (VAI), Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), a body shape index (ABSI), body roundness index (BRI), triglyceride glucose index (TyG-index) and its correlation index (TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, TyG-WHtR). The association of 13 obesity- and lipid-related indices with T2DM was investigated by binary logistic regression. Additionally, the predictive anthropometric index was evaluated, and the ideal cut-off value was established using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and area under the curve (AUC). Results The study included 7902 participants, of whom 3638(46.04) and 4264(53.96) were male and female. The prevalence of T2DM in mid-aged and old adults in China was 9.02% in males and 9.15% in females. All the above 13 indicators show a modest predictive power (AUC>0.5), which was significant for predicting T2DM in adults (middle-aged and elderly people) in China (P<0.05). The results revealed that TyG-WHtR [AUC =0.600, 95%CI: 0.566-0.634] in males and in females [AUC =0.664, 95%CI: 0.636-0.691] was the best predictor of T2DM (P<0.05). Conclusion Most obesity- and lipid-related indices have important value in predicting T2DM. Our results can provide measures for the early identification of T2DM in mid-aged and elderly Chinese to reduce the prevalence of T2DM and improve health.

[PMID: 38317716 PMCID: PMC10839084 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1322445] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Patients with heart failure (HF) were compared with non-HF people to explore the relationship between the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and HF in participants with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Methods TyG index was calculated as ln [fasting triglyceride (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to investigate the association between the TyG index and the risk of HF. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis was applied to evaluate the dose-response relationship between the TyG index and the risk of HF. Results National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2007-2018) was used to analyze the association between TyG and HF in patients. A total of 13,825 participants who had their TyG index measured were included, involving 435 individuals with HF and 13,390 individuals without HF. Those with HF had higher levels of the TyG index compared with those without HF (8.91 ± 0.74 vs. 8.57 ± 0.66, p < 0.001). The odds ratio (OR) of HF for the TyG index from logistic regression was 1.644 and 1.057 in Model 1 (without adjusting for any variables) and Model 4 (adjusted for all covariates), respectively. Compared with individuals with Q1, a higher TyG index was related to the increased risk of HF. Model 1 showed that there was a linear dose-response relationship between the TyG index and HF (p = 0.686). The TyG index predicted the area of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.602 (95% CI: 0.575-0.629, p < 0.001) and the optimal cutoff value was 8.91. Conclusion The TyG index was positively associated with the risk of HF. The TyG index may be a therapeutic target and an important predictor of HF.

Abstract
Purpose The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and TyG-related indicators have been proposed as a marker of insulin resistance. It is unclear which is the best indicator to predict diabetes mellitus (DM) in Chinese. This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of different biomarkers for the incidence of DM. Patients and methods Between January 2017 and December 2020, 5575 subjects who underwent health examinations in Hebei General Hospital were retrospectively included. The primary endpoint was new onset DM. Results During a median follow-up of 3.03 years, 133(2.39%) individuals developed DM. Multivariable cox proportional hazards models revealed that TyG index and TyG-related parameters were positively associated with DM risk. As the interaction analyses showed, there were significant interactions with sex and age levels in relation to DM risk (both P for interaction <0.05). Risk prediction for DM was significantly improved by adding TyG index to the baseline model using conventional diabetic risk factors in predicting DM at follow-up. Conclusion This population-based cohort study suggested a causal relationship between TyG index and DM after adjusting for other confounding factors. This independent and significant association was more apparent in females and subjects younger than 65 years. Compared with the TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, TyG-WHtR, the TyG index was a more effective predictor of DM.

New indices in predicting cardiometabolic risk and its relation to endothelial dysfunction in adolescents: The HELENA study. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2023; 33:1037-1048. [PMID: 36934005 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2023.01.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2022] [Revised: 12/25/2022] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Blood pressure (BP) changes and insulin resistance (IR) are important cardiometabolic risk (CMR) factors; their early identification can contribute to the reduction of cardiovascular events in adulthood. This necessitates the search for more accessible and easily applied indicators for their prediction. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the predictive power of the indices, TyG, TG/HDL-c, height-corrected lipid accumulation product (HLAP), and visceral adiposity index (VAI), in identifying the CMR obtained by high BP and IR and to verify their relationship with biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction (ED) in European adolescents. METHODS AND RESULTS The anthropometric data and blood biomarkers of 744 adolescents (343 boys and 401 girls) from the Healthy Lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence Cross-Sectional Study (HELENA-CSS), with a mean age of 14.67 (SD 1.15) years, were assessed. The adolescents were then classified according to the presence or absence of high BP and IR. The cut-off points of the indices evaluated for the identification of CMR were determined. The relationship between CMR diagnosed using these indices and ED biomarkers was tested. The HLAP and TG/HDL-c were fair predictors of CMR obtained by IR in male adolescents. These indices showed association with hsCRP in sVCAM-1 in boys, but it lost significance after adjusting for age and body mass index. CONCLUSION TG/HDL-c and HLAP indices showed a fair performance in predicting CMR, obtained by IR, in male adolescents. ED showed no association with the CMR identified by the indices.

Abstract
IntroductionThe triglyceride-glucose (TyG)-driven indices, incorporating obesity indices, have been proposed as reliable markers of insulin resistance and related comorbidities such as diabetes. This study evaluated the effectiveness of these indices in detecting prediabetes in normal-weight individuals from a Middle Eastern population.MethodsUsing the data of 5,996 adult Qatari participants from the Qatar Biobank cohort, we employed adjusted logistic regression to assess the ability of various obesity and triglyceride-related indices to detect prediabetes in normal-weight (18.5 ≤ BMI <25 kg/m2) adults (≥18 years).ResultsOf the normal-weight adults, 13.62% had prediabetes. TyG-waist-to-height ratio (TyG-WHTR) was significantly associated with prediabetes among normal-weight men [OR per 1-SD 2.68; 95% CI (1.67–4.32)] and women [OR per 1-SD 2.82; 95% CI (1.61–4.94)]. Compared with other indices, TyG-WHTR had the highest area under the curve (AUC) value for prediabetes in men [AUC: 0.76, 95% CI (0.70–0.81)] and women [AUC: 0.73, 95% CI (0.66–0.80)], and performed significantly higher than other indices (p < 0.05) in detecting prediabetes in men. Tyg-WHTR shared similar diagnostic values as fasting plasma glucose (FPG).DiscussionOur findings suggest that the TyG-WHTR index could be a better indicator of prediabetes for general clinical usage in normal weight Qatari adult men than other obesity and TyG-related indices. TyG-WHTR can help identify a person’s risk for developing prediabetes in both men and women when combined with FPG results.

Abstract
Objective To set cutoff points for the triglyceride and glucose index (TyG) as a marker of insulin resistance (IR) for the pediatric population. Subjects and methods This was a cross-sectional study with schoolchildren population-based data using data of 377 schoolchildren age 10 to 17 years of both sexes. We studied metabolic variables associated with IR indicators, such as fasting insulin and blood glucose, to calculate the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR), and we studied triglycerides (TG) to determine the TyG index. We obtained TyG cutoff values for IR using the receiver operation characteristic (ROC), with definitions of sensitivity (Sen), specificity (Spe), and area under the ROC curve (AUC), with the HOMA-IR as reference. Results The cutoff points of the TyG index for IR in adolescents are 7.94 for both sexes, 7.91 for boys, and 7.94 for girls, indicating moderate discriminatory power. When we also considered anthropometric variables of excess weight [TyG-BMI (body mass index)] and visceral fat [TyG-WC (waist circumference)], these indexes reached AUC values higher than 0.72, enhancing their potential use for a good diagnosis. Conclusion TyG has proven to be a useful instrument for identifying IR in adolescent health screening, with high discrimination capacity when added to anthropometric variables, making it a feasible and inexpensive option.

Association between triglyceride glucose index and subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes. Lipids Health Dis 2023; 22:35. [PMID: 36890516 PMCID: PMC9993628 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-023-01796-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index has been considered a new biomarker for the diagnosis of angiocardiopathy and insulin resistance. However, the association of the TyG index with subclinical left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction still lacks comprehensive exploration. This study was carried out to examine this relationship in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS A total of 150 T2DM patients with preserved LV ejection fraction (LVEF ≥ 50%) from June 2021 to December 2021 were included in this study. The subclinical LV function was evaluated through global longitudinal strain (GLS), with the predefined GLS < 18% as the cutoff for subclinical LV systolic dysfunction. The TyG index calculation was obtained according to ln (fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2), which was then stratified into quartiles (TyG index-Q). RESULTS Analyses of clinical characteristics in the four TyG indexes-Q (Q1 (TyG index ≤ 8.89) n = 38, Q2 (8.89 < TyG index ≤ 9.44) n = 37, Q3 (9.44 < TyG index ≤ 9.83) n = 38, and Q4 (TyG index > 9.83) n = 37) were conducted. A negative correlation of the TyG index with GLS (r = -0.307, P < 0.001) was revealed according to correlation analysis. After gender and age were adjusted in multimodel logistic regression analysis, the higher TyG index (OR 6.86; 95% CI 2.44 to 19.30; P < 0.001, Q4 vs Q1) showed a significant association with GLS < 18%, which was still maintained after further adjustment for related clinical confounding factors (OR 5.23, 95% CI 1.12 to 24.51, p = 0.036, Q4 vs Q1). Receiver operator characteristic analysis indicated a diagnostic capacity of the TyG index for GLS < 18% (area under curve: 0.678; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS A higher TyG index had a significant association with subclinical LV systolic dysfunction in T2DM patients with preserved ejection fraction, and the TyG index may have the potential to exert predictive value for myocardial damage.

Abstract
We conducted a longitudinal study (from February 2017 to July 2017) to explore whether the triglyceride glucose index (TyG) index has a prognostic value for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among high-risk Chinese hypertensives. The study population were from 6 districts of Tianjin, China. Finally, a total of 2250 patients were enrolled in this 3.5 year cohort study. The patients were divided into two groups according to the cut-off value of the TyG index: Low-TyG group (n = 901, TyG ≤ 8.87), High-TyG group (n = 1349, TyG > 8.87). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to estimate the relationship between the TyG and MACE. In multivariate cox regression analyses, the hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval (CI)) of the high-TyG group was 1.313 (1.010, 1.708) compared with the low-TyG group. In those with an age ≤65 years and male subgroups, the prediction value of TyG was higher, and the risk of occurrence of MACE greater after adjusting other risk factors. The TyG index is an indicator to predict the development of MACE in hypertensive patients.

Obesity- and lipid-related indices as a predictor of obesity metabolic syndrome in a national cohort study. Front Public Health 2023; 11:1073824. [PMID: 36875382 PMCID: PMC9980350 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1073824] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2022] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Metabolic syndrome is a common condition among middle-aged and elderly people. Recent studies have reported the association between obesity- and lipid-related indices and metabolic syndrome, but whether those conditions could predict metabolic syndrome is still inconsistent in a few longitudinal studies. In our study, we aimed to predict metabolic syndrome by obesity- and lipid-related indices in middle-aged and elderly Chinese adults. Method A national cohort study that consisted of 3,640 adults (≥45 years) was conducted. A total of 13 obesity- and lipid-related indices, including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), conicity index (CI), visceral adiposity index (VAI), Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), a body shape index (ABSI), body roundness index (BRI), and triglyceride glucose index (TyG-index) and its correlation index (TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, and TyG-WHtR), were recorded. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) was defined based on the criteria of the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (2005). Participants were categorized into two groups according to the different sex. Binary logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the associations between the 13 obesity- and lipid-related indices and MetS. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve studies were used to identify the best predictor of MetS. Results A total of 13 obesity- and lipid-related indices were independently associated with MetS risk, even after adjustment for age, sex, educational status, marital status, current residence, history of drinking, history of smoking, taking activities, having regular exercises, and chronic diseases. The ROC analysis revealed that the 12 obesity- and lipid-related indices included in the study were able to discriminate MetS [area under the ROC curves (AUC > 0.6, P < 0.05)] and ABSI was not able to discriminate MetS [area under the ROC curves (AUC < 0.6, P > 0.05)]. The AUC of TyG-BMI was the highest in men, and that of CVAI was the highest in women. The cutoff values for men and women were 187.919 and 86.785, respectively. The AUCs of TyG-BMI, CVAI, TyG-WC, LAP, TyG-WHtR, BMI, WC, WHtR, BRI, VAI, TyG index, CI, and ABSI were 0.755, 0.752, 0.749, 0.745, 0.735, 0.732, 0.730, 0.710, 0.710, 0.674, 0.646, 0.622, and 0.537 for men, respectively. The AUCs of CVAI, LAP, TyG-WC, TyG-WHtR, TyG-BMI, WC, WHtR, BRI, BMI, VAI, TyG-index, CI, and ABSI were 0.687, 0.674, 0.674, 0.663, 0.656, 0.654, 0.645, 0.645, 0.638, 0.632, 0.607, 0.596, and 0.543 for women, respectively. The AUC value for WHtR was equal to that for BRI in predicting MetS. The AUC value for LAP was equal to that for TyG-WC in predicting MetS for women. Conclusion Among middle-aged and older adults, all obesity- and lipid-related indices, except ABSI, were able to predict MetS. In addition, in men, TyG-BMI is the best indicator to indicate MetS, and in women, CVAI is considered the best hand to indicate MetS. At the same time, TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, and TyG-WHtR performed better than BMI, WC, and WHtR in predicting MetS in both men and women. Therefore, the lipid-related index outperforms the obesity-related index in predicting MetS. In addition to CVAI, LAP showed a good predictive correlation, even more closely than lipid-related factors in predicting MetS in women. It is worth noting that ABSI performed poorly, was not statistically significant in either men or women, and was not predictive of MetS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The increasing trend in childhood obesity needs to be closely monitored and intervened due to long-term health issues such as metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes. We aimed to determine and compare the cut-off values for the visceral adiposity index (VAI), triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), and HOMA-IR for predicting metabolic syndrome (MetS). METHODS This population-based cross-sectional study was conducted in May 2019 in Samsun, Turkey. The study included 169 children with obesity aged 9 and 10 years. After anthropometric and clinical evaluation, fasting blood samples were collected from the children. The areas under the curve of the visceral adiposity index, triglyceride-glucose index, and HOMA-IR were compared by receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC) analysis in predicting the MetS. RESULTS The total prevalence of MetS was 21.3% in children with obesity, and it was two times higher in girls than in boys. The mean values of TyG and VAI were significantly different in those who have and have not MetS in both genders. However, the HOMA-IR index was higher only in girls with MetS and did not differ in boys by having MetS. The VAI and the TyG index both had statistically significant cut-off values in both sexes and a larger ROC area than the HOMA-IR index in predicting MetS. CONCLUSIONS The VAI and TyG index are effective indicators in assessing the MetS risk in children with obesity. Both indexes can be considered useful tools in pediatric research and the evaluation of interventions. However, the HOMA-IR index formula needs to be developed taking into account age, gender, and ethnicity.

Liu N, Luo X, Li P, Xiong W. The Triglycerides and Glucose Index is not superior to HOMA-IR in predicting testosterone deficiency among adult males. Andrology 2023; 11:215-224. [PMID: 35713293 DOI: 10.1111/andr.13207] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2022] [Revised: 05/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/08/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Testosterone decline and deficiency in males have aroused increased attention in male health management, which might have a close relationship with insulin resistance (IR). OBJECTIVES We utilized a novel and practical IR indicator, the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, to investigate the association between the TyG index and serum testosterone in US adult males. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional study based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2014 and 2015-2016. The TyG index was calculated from fasting plasma glucose and serum triglyceride, and serum testosterone was measured by isotope dilution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry in NHANES. RESULTS A total of 2186 male participants aged more than 20 years old were included, and the mean TyG index was 8.72 ± 0.71. Participants with a higher TyG index showed a lower level of total testosterone (β = -45.83, 95% CI: -58.50, -33.15, p < 0.0001) and a higher risk of testosterone deficiency (OR = 1.80, 95% CI: 1.46, 2.21, p < 0.0001) after we adjusted for all potential cofounders. Males in TyG index tertile 3 had a 113% (95% CI: 1.50, 3.02, p < 0.0001) higher risk of testosterone deficiency than those in tertile 1. Subgroup analysis stratified by diabetes condition indicated that the TyG index might be a good predictor of testosterone decline or deficiency in either people with or without diabetes. However, ROC cure analysis indicated that a larger area under the curve was found in the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (0.71, 95% CI: 0.68,0.74) than in the TyG index (0.67, 95% CI: 0.64, 0.70). CONCLUSIONS Males with a higher TyG index tended to have a higher risk of testosterone decline or even testosterone deficiency. However, the predictability of the TyG index for testosterone deficiency was not better than that of HOMA-IR. More well-designed studies are still needed to validate this relationship.

Waist Circumference Is an Essential Factor in Predicting Insulin Resistance and Early Detection of Metabolic Syndrome in Adults. Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15020257. [PMID: 36678129 PMCID: PMC9861022 DOI: 10.3390/nu15020257] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2022] [Revised: 12/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (Met-S) is considered one of the most important health problems of the 21st century. It includes a group of metabolic disorders that increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as overweight and obesity, elevated lipid profile and blood pressure and insulin resistance (IR). Based on the information mentioned above in which there seems to be a relationship between IR and Met-S, the objective of this work was twofold: on the one hand, to assess the relationship between the values of different insulin resistance risk scales and Met-S determined with three different scales, and on the other, to determine whether any of the components of Met-S predispose more to the appearance of IR. METHODS A descriptive cross-sectional study of 418,343 workers. Waist circumference was measured and evaluated together with six formulas to assess the insulin resistance index. Categorical variables were evaluated by calculating the frequency and distribution of each one. For quantitative variables, mean and standard deviation were determined, and Student's t-test was applied, while for qualitative variables, the chi-square test was performed. The usefulness of the different risk scales for insulin resistance for predicting metabolic syndrome was evaluated using ROC curves, the area under the curve (AUC), as well as their cut-off points for sensitivity, specificity, and the Youden index. RESULTS People with metabolic syndrome applying any criteria had higher values in the IR risk scales. The different IR scales made it possible to adequately classify people with metabolic syndrome. Of the three definitions of Met-S, the one that showed the greatest relationship with IR was IDF. CONCLUSIONS Most risk scales for insulin resistance enable the presence of metabolic syndrome to be adequately classified, finding the best ones if the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria are applied. Of the elements included in the Met-S, the one that seems to increase the risk of presenting IR the most is waist circumference; hence, the Met-S definition that is most related to IR is that of the IDF, which is the only one of the three in which a high value of waist circumference is necessary to be able to diagnose Met-S. Waist circumference can be considered the central essential component for detecting insulin resistance and, therefore, the early detection of metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Objective: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a simple and reliable surrogate for insulin resistance. Recent studies have suggested that the TyG index is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease. However, the prognostic value of the TyG index in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains uncertain. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the TyG index in patients with AMI. Methods: AMI patients admitted to Zhongda Hospital from 2018 to 2020 were successively enrolled. After screening the inclusion criteria, 1144 patients were divided into three groups according to the tertiles of the TyG index distribution. Patients were followed up for 1 year as outpatients or contacted via telephone, and the occurrence and timing of all-cause deaths were recorded. Results: The TyG index was significantly correlated with heart failure (HF) in AMI patients. Patients with a high TyG index (group 3) (odds ratio: 9.070, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.359-18.875, P<.001) had a significantly higher incidence of HF compared with patients with median TyG index (group 2). Similarly, the incidence of all-cause death in group 3 was significantly higher than that in group 2 during the 1-year follow-up (hazard ratio: 2.996, 95% CI 1.058-8.487, P = .039). Conclusion: The TyG index is closely related to HF and may be a valuable indicator to predict the long-term prognosis of patients with AMI.

Association between the triglyceride–glucose index and chronic kidney disease in adults. Int Urol Nephrol 2022; 55:1279-1289.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized as a progressive dysfunction of the kidney, and it might have a close relationship with insulin resistance. We utilized the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a reliable marker of insulin resistance, to evaluate the association between the TyG index and CKD in adults from the general population. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study obtaining data from the 2015-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) served as kidney function indicators. We defined CKD as the existence of either low eGFR (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 BSA) or albuminuria (UACR > 30 mg/g). Multivariate regressions, correlated subgroup analyses, and interaction terms were performed in this study. RESULTS For 4361 recruited participants, the mean TyG index was 8.60 ± 0.68, and the prevalence of CKD was 13.35%. Participants with a higher TyG index showed a higher UACR level (β = 25.10, 95% CI: 6.76, 43.44, P = 0.0074) and higher levels of CKD (OR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.13, 1.59, P = 0.0006). The positive relationship between the TyG index and CKD became stronger and remained significant in the overweight (OR = 1.61, 95% CI: 1.18, 2.20, P = 0.0027) and obese (OR = 2.48, 95% CI: 1.95, 3.15, P < 0.0001) groups and in people with diabetes (OR = 1.94, 95% CI: 1.46, 2.56, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Higher TyG index was strongly associated with a higher UACR level and higher values of albuminuria and CKD, which might be useful in kidney function screening especially among people in disadvantageous socioeconomic conditions with no availability for direct measurement of kidney function. However, more well-designed studies are still needed to validate this relationship.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Metabolic syndrome (MetS) definitions in adolescents based on the percentiles of its components are rather complicated to use in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to test the validity of artificial intelligence (AI)-based scores (AI_METS) that do not use these percentiles for MetS screening for adolescents. METHODS AND RESULTS This study included 1086 adolescents aged 12 to 18. The cohort underwent anthropometric measurements and blood tests. Mean blood pressure (MBP), and triglyceride glucose index (TyG) were calculated. Explainable AI methods are used to extract the learned function. Gini importance techniques were tested and used to build new scores for the screening of MetS. IDF, Cook, De Ferranti, Viner, and Weiss definitions of MetS were used to test the validity of these scores. MetS prevalence was 0.4%-4.7% according to these definitions. AI_METS used age, waist circumference, MBP, and TyG index. They offer area under the curves (AUCs) 0.91, 0.93, 0.89, 0.93, and 0.98; specificity 81%, 75%, 72%, 80%, and 97%; and sensitivity 90%, 100%, 90%, 100%, and 100%, respectively, for the detection of MetS according to these definitions. Considering only MBP offers a better specificity and sensitivity to detect MetS than considering only TyG index. MBP offers slightly lower performance than AI_METS. CONCLUSION AI techniques have proven their ability to extract knowledge from data. They allowed us to generate new scores for MetS detection in adolescents without using specific percentiles for each component. Although these scores are less intuitive than the percentile-based definition, their accuracy is rather effective for the detection of MetS.

Abstract
Background The triglycerides-glucose index (TyG) and the triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) are simple indicators for assessing insulin resistance in epidemiological studies. We aimed to clarify the relationship between indicators of insulin resistance and prognosis in non-diabetic acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. Methods A total of 1,648 AMI patients without diabetes were enrolled from the Department of Cardiology, Zhongda Hospital, between 2012.03 and 2018.12. The medical history, laboratory and imaging data of patients were collected through the medical record system, and all-cause death events were recorded. Pearson analysis was used to study the correlation among different variables. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the predictive effect of TyG and TG/HDL-C in in-hospital death of AMI patients. Results 1. In AMI group, the TyG index was significantly increased in death groups compared to no-death groups (P = 0.025). TG/HDL-C was not significantly increased in the death group of AMI patients (P = 0.588). The patients were respectively divided into Q1-Q4 groups and T1-T4 groups according to the quartiles of TyG and TG/HDL-C. The trends of in-hospital mortality in the Q4 group of TyG and T4 group of TG/HDL-C were higher than in other groups, although these differences were not significant. 2. Pearson correlation analysis showed that TyG was positively correlated with lipid-related markers, including ApoB (r = 0.248, P < 0.001), total cholesterol (TC) (r = 0.270, P < 0.001), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (r = 0.238, P < 0.001). Spearman analysis showed that TG/HDL-C was also positively associated with TC (r = 0.107, P < 0.001), ApoB (r = 0.180, P < 0.001) and LDL-C (r = 0.164, P < 0.001). 3. Logistic regression analysis showed that TyG (OR = 3.106, 95% CI [2.122-4.547], P < 0.001) and TG/HDL-C (OR = 1.167, 95% CI [1.062-1.282], P = 0.001) were both important factors to predict the in-hospital death of AMI patients without diabetes. Conclusions TyG index and TG/HDL-C, as emerged simple markers of insulin resistance, were both important predictors of in-hospital death in AMI patients without diabetes.

J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11216419. [PMID: 36362646 PMCID: PMC9655420 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11216419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 10/22/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: High triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a surrogate marker of insulin resistance, is associated with an increased risk of albuminuria in adults. However, the relationship between high TyG index associated with renal hyperfiltration (RHF) and albuminuria among young adults is unclear. Methods: A total of 5420 participants aged 19−39 years were enrolled from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2011−2014 and 2019) and their TyG index levels were analyzed. RHF was defined as eGFR with residuals > 90th percentile after adjusting for age, sex, weight, and height. Albuminuria was defined as urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥ 30 mg/g Cr. Logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the association between TyG index, RHF, and albuminuria. Results: The mean age was 30.7 ± 6.0 years and 46.4% were male. The prevalence of albuminuria and RHF was higher in the higher tertiles of TyG index. In our multivariable model, high TyG index showed higher risk of albuminuria (odds ratio (OR) per 1.0 increase in TyG index, 1.56; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.24−1.95 and OR in the highest tertile, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.08−2.52). High TyG index was associated with higher risk of RHF (OR per 1.0 increase in TyG index, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.32−1.84 and OR in the highest tertile, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.31−2.30). When participants were divided into with or without RHF, high-TyG index-associated high risk of albuminuria was only observed in those with RHF. Participants with concurrent high TyG index and RHF showed the highest risk of albuminuria. Mediation analysis showed that 54.2% of the relation between TyG index and albuminuria was mediated by RHF (95% CI of indirect effect, 0.27−0.76). Finally, incorporating TyG index into our basic model improved the predictive value for albuminuria only in participants with RHF. Conclusion: High TyG index associated with RHF was the strongest risk factor for albuminuria in this study. Early identification of high TyG index with RHF may prevent future development of CKD in relatively healthy and young adults.

J Transl Med 2022; 20:398.

Abstract
Background By identifying individuals at high risk for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), interventional programs could be targeted more effectively. Some studies have demonstrated that triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) showed an independent positive association with NAFLD. However, research on its diagnostic value in patients with suspected NAFLD is limited. In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether TyG-BMI was accurate in detecting NAFLD in the general Japanese population. Methods A cross-sectional study of 14,280 individuals who underwent a comprehensive health examination was conducted. Standard protocols were followed to collect anthropometric measurements, lab data, and ultrasonography features. All participants were randomly stratified into the development group (n = 7118) and validation group (n = 7162). The TyG-BMI was calculated. Following this, the diagnostic value of the TyG-BMI was evaluated based on the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUROC). Two cutoff points were selected and used to rule out or rule in the NALFD, and the specificity, sensitivity, negative predictive value, and positive predictive value were explored, respectively. In order to verify the stability of the results, external verification was performed. Results There were 1272 and 1243 NAFLD participants in the development and validation groups, respectively. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of TyG-BMI was 0.888 (95% CI 0.876–0.896) and 0.884 (95% CI 0.875–0.894) for the training and validation group, respectively. Using the low TyG-BMI (182.2) cutoff, NAFLD could be excluded with high accuracy (negative predictive value: 96.9% in estimation and 96.9% in validation). The presence of NAFLD could effectively be determined by applying the high cutoff of TyG-BMI (224.0), as the positive predictive value of the estimation and validation groups is 70.7% and 70.1%, respectively. As a result of applying this model, 9996 (70%) of the 14,280 participants would not have undergone ultrasonography, with an accurate prediction of 9308 (93.1%). AUC was 0.874 for external validation using 183,730 Chinese non-obese participants. TyG-BMI was demonstrated to be an excellent diagnostic tool by both internal and external validation. Conclusions In conclusion, the present study developed and validated a simple, non-invasive, and cost-effective tool to accurately separate participants with and without NAFLD in the Japanese population, rendering ultrasonography for identifying NAFLD unnecessary in a substantial proportion of people.

Abstract
BackgroundHyperglycemia is an independent risk factor for the poor prognosis in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), and stress-induced impaired insulin function is the major factor of hyperglycemia in non-diabetic patients with TBI. Several types of research suggested that insulin resistance (IR) is related to the poor prognosis of neurocritical ill patients; here we focused on the role of IR in non-diabetic patients after TBI.MethodsWe performed a prospective observational study with the approval of the Ethics Committee of our institute. IR was accessed via the update Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA2) of IR, a computer-calculated index by glucose and insulin level. HOMA2 ≥ 1.4 was considered as the threshold of IR according to the previous studies. The glycemic variability (GV) indices were calculated by fingertip blood glucose concentration at an interval of 2 h within 24 h to explore the relationship between IR and GV. The outcome was the 6-month neurological outcome evaluated with the Glasgow outcome scale.ResultsA total of 85 patients with isolated moderate-to-severe TBI (admission GCS ≤ 12) were finally included in our study, 34 (40%) were diagnosed with IR with HOMA2 ≥ 1.4. After propensity score matching (PSM), 22 patients in IR group were matched to 34 patients in non-IR group. Patients with IR suffered increased systemic glycemic variation after isolated moderate-to-severe TBI. IR was a significant factor for the poor prognosis after TBI (OR = 3.25, 95% CI 1.03–10.31, p = 0.041).ConclusionsThe IR estimated by HOMA2 was associated with greater GV and an unfavorable outcome after isolated moderate-to-severe TBI. Ameliorating impaired insulin sensitivity may be a potential therapeutic strategy for the management of TBI patients.

Abstract
The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been identified as a reliable alternative biomarker of insulin resistance (IR). Recently, a considerable number of studies have provided robust statistical evidence suggesting that the TyG index is associated with the development and prognosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Nevertheless, the application of the TyG index as a marker of CVD has not systemically been evaluated, and even less information exists regarding the underlying mechanisms associated with CVD. To this end, in this review, we summarize the history of the use of the TyG index as a surrogate marker for IR. We aimed to highlight the application value of the TyG index for a variety of CVD types and to explore the potential limitations of using this index as a predictor for cardiovascular events to improve its application value for CVD and provide more extensive and precise supporting evidence.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although a significant proportion of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) cases arose from normal-weight individuals, studies on indicators of T2DM in normal-weight people are limited. Accordingly, this study aims to investigate the predictive value of obesity indices and triglyceride glucose-related parameters (TyG-related parameters) in T2DM among normal-weight Chinese elderly. METHODS A total of 24,215 normal-weight Chinese elderly (age ≥ 60 years) [body mass index-BMI (18.5-23.9 kg/m2)] were included. Obesity indices and triglyceride glucose-related parameters (TyG-related parameters) included waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), visceral adiposity index (VAI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), and TyG-related parameters (TyG, TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, and TyG-WHtR). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the associations between obesity- and TyG-related indices and T2DM. The areas under the curve (AUC) of the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were used to evaluate and compare the predictive value of the different indices. RESULTS The prevalence of T2DM was 14.2% in normal-weight individuals. Among the indices, TyG was significantly associated with T2DM among men and women, respectively, (adjusted odds ratio-aOR per SD 3.46; 95% CI 3.23-3.71) and (aOR per SD 3.64; 95% CI 3.43-3.86). Compared with other indices, TyG had the highest AUC value for T2DM in men (AUC: 0.818, 95% CI 0.810-0.825) and women (AUC: 0.824, 95% CI 0.814-0.833). CONCLUSIONS TyG is an effective marker and outperforms other indices when predicting T2DM in the normal-weight Chinese elderly population. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level V: Opinions of authorities, based on descriptive studies, narrative reviews, clinical experience, or reports of expert committees.

Abstract
BackgroundCarotid plaque plays an important role in the development of stroke. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a reliable alternative marker of insulin resistance. However, there are limited data regarding the relationship between TyG index and carotid plaque and its stability in nondiabetic adults.MethodsThis study was carried out on 24,895 urban workers (10,978 men and 13,917 women) aged 20 years or older who participated in a comprehensive health screening between January 2016 and December 2017 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, China. Carotid plaque was assessed using ultrasonography. TyG index was calculated as ln [fasting triglyceride (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL) /2]. Logistic regression models and restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were used to estimate the association of the TyG index with carotid plaque and its stability by odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsCarotid plaque was detected in 5,668 (22.8%) respondents, with stable and unstable plaque accounting for 2,511 (10.1%) and 3,158 (12.7%), respectively. There was a significant positive association between the prevalence of carotid plaque and TyG index quartile levels, and the same associations were observed for the prevalence of stable and unstable carotid plaque (P for trend <0.0001). The multivariable-adjusted ORs (95% CIs) for the highest vs. lowest quartile of TyG index were 1.30 (1.15–1.47) for carotid plaque, 1.38 (1.17–1.63) for stable carotid plaque, and 1.24 (1.07–1.43) for unstable carotid plaque. The RCS analysis showed a linear association between TyG index and carotid plaque, and linear associations were also observed between TyG index and both stable carotid plaque and unstable carotid plaque (P for linearity<0.05).ConclusionOur findings suggested that the TyG index was significantly associated with carotid plaque and might be a useful indicator for the early identification of carotid plaque in nondiabetic subjects.

Abstract
Disorders of metabolic obesity with normal body weight (MONW) are widely recognized risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. Despite this, MONW is not diagnosed in clinical practice. There is no consensus on the definition of MONW, and measuring the degree of insulin resistance or obesity among apparently healthy, non-obese patients is not widely applicable. The awareness of the relationship between metabolic disorders such as MONW and a higher risk of mortality from cardiovascular causes and other related diseases prompts the need for action to be taken aimed at creating appropriate diagnostic models that will allow for the effective detection of those with metabolic abnormalities among people with normal body weight. Such actions are decisive in the prevention and treatment of diseases. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to review the MONW diagnostic criteria used over the years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It remains controversial whether body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), or triglyceride glucose (TyG) index has a stronger association with diabetes. The aims of the study were to compare the magnitude of associations of four indicators with diabetes risk. METHODS Data collected from annual health examination dataset in the Xinzheng during 2011 and 2019. A total of 41,242 participants aged ≥ 45 years were included in this study. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to examine associations between the four indicators and diabetes risk. RESULTS After 205,770 person-years of follow up, diabetes developed in 2,472 subjects. Multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of diabetes (highest vs reference group) were 1.92 (1.71-2.16) for BMI, 1.99 (1.78-2.23) for WC, 1.65 (1.47-1.86) for WHtR, and 1.66 (1.47-1.87) for TyG, respectively. In addition, the risk of diabetes increased with baseline BMI (HR: 1.30; 95% CI: 1.25, 1.35) and TyG (HR: 1.25; 95% CI: 1.20, 1.30), but the lowest HR was 0.78 (95% CI 0.65-0.92) when WC was approximately 72 cm, and 0.85 (95% CI 0.72-0.99) when WHtR was approximately 0.47 in women. In joint analyses, the highest risk was observed in participants with a high BMI combined with a high WC (HR: 2.26; 95% CI: 1.98, 2.58). CONCLUSIONS In middle-aged and elderly Chinese population, BMI and WC were more strongly associated with diabetes than WHtR or TyG, especially the combined effect of BMI and WC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We herein aim to explore the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and metabolic syndrome (MS). METHODS We enrolled 298,652 individuals with an average age of 47.08 ± 12.94 years and who underwent health check-ups at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wuhu Wannan Medical College in this cross-sectional study from 2014 to 2016. We enlisted 125,025 women (41.86%) and 173,627 men (58.14%). The survey information included a questionnaire survey, a physical examination, and a laboratory examination. RESULTS The prevalence of MS increased gradually in the TyG-index subgroups (Q1, TyG <8.30; Q2, 8.30≤ TyG <8.83; and Q3, TyG ≥8.83). We noted significant differences in hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, sex, age, body mass index (BMI), smoking and drinking habits, and estimated glomerular filtration rate between the TyG-index subgroups. Multiclass logistic regression analysis showed that the group with TyG <8.30 was the reference group, and the 8.30≤ TyG <8.83 and the TyG ≥8.83 groups exhibited a higher TyG index with MS, and a lower TyG index without MS disease. In the linear curve analysis of the TyG index and MS components, BMI, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure showed upward trends, while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol showed no obvious trend in the TyG index at a range of 7.8-11.0. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was used to evaluate the predictive value of the TyG index, triglycerides, and fasting blood glucose for MS, and we found that the area under the TyG index curve was the largest (AUC = 0.89). CONCLUSION There were associations between the TyG index and MS and its components, and the TyG index is therefore of great value in the early diagnosis of MS.

Abstract
AIMS We aimed to examine the association between the Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and clinical outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients with drug-eluting stents (DESs). METHODS From July 2009 to August 2011, 2533 patients who underwent at least one PCI with DESs were enrolled to determine the relationship between the TyG index and MACCEs with a 29.8-month follow-up. In addition, the Logistic regression proportional hazard model was applied to assess the prognostic value of the TyG index. RESULTS The MACCEs was associated with, history of heart failure (p = 0.049), third degree AVB (p = 0.008) and stroke (p = 0.033), SBP (p < 0.001), DBP (p = 0.001), number of diseased vessels, location of target lesions, characteristics of lesion, number of treated vessels, number of stents, length of stents (p = 0.003) and stent diameter (p < 0.001). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that the TyG index was an independent prognostic factor for MACCEs in female patients (OR = 1.68, 95 %CI = 1.12-2.54, p = 0.013) but not in male (OR = 0.95, 95 %CI = 0.74-1.21, p = 0.657). CONCLUSION The TyG index was independently associated with MACCEs in female patients undergoing PCI with DESs, but not in men.

Abstract
ABSTARCT AIMS: We aimed to assess the dose-response relationship between triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS We performed a comprehensive systematic literature search using PubMed, Scopus, and Embase for records published from inception until 9 February 2021. The effect estimates were reported as relative risks (RRs). RESULTS 270,229 subjects from 14 studies were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The pooled incidence of T2DM was 9%. Meta-regression analysis indicates that baseline age (coefficient: 0.67, p = 0.026), drinking (coefficient: 0.03, p = 0.035), and HDL (coefficient: -0.89, p = 0.035) affected the incidence of T2DM in future. High TyG index was associated with increased incidence of T2DM in pooled unadjusted (RR 4.68 [3.01, 7.29], p < 0.001; I2: 96.6%) and adjusted model (adjusted RR 3.54 [2.75, 4.54], p < 0.001; I2: 83.7%). Dose-response meta-analysis for the adjusted RR showed that the linear association analysis was not significant per 0.1 increase in TyG index (RR 1.01 [0.99, 1.03], p = 0.223). There is a non-linear trend (p < 0.001) for the association between TyG index and incidence of T2DM. The dose-response curve became increasingly steeper at TyG index above 8.6. CONCLUSIONS TyG index was associated with the incidence of T2DM in a non-linear fashion.

Abstract
Background Triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index has been considered as the reliable marker of insulin resistance (IR), which is one risk factor of kidney stone. This study aimed to evaluate the TyG index in the occurrence of kidney stones among the United States (US) population. Methods Participants who received assessment were retrieved from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2007 and 2018. The logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between the TyG index and kidney stones occurrence. A 1:1 matched-pair analysis was established to optimize the bias in kidney stones by propensity score matching (PSM). The dose–response curve was performed to verify the association between the TyG index and risk of kidney stones. Results Of the 14,158 eligible enrolled participants, 1346 (9.5%) self-reported a history of kidney stones. All participants were divided into two groups (high TyG index group and low TyG index group) based on the median TyG index. The dose–response curve exhibited a positive non-linear correlation between the TyG index and kidney stones risk. High TyG index was related to increased kidney stones occurrence in participants, with adjusted odds ratios (AOR) of 1.14 (95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.01–1.30, P = 0.038) compared with the low TyG index subgroup before PSM. After PSM, the risk of kidney stones was 19% higher in the high TyG group compared with the low TyG group (AOR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.02–1.38, P = 0.026), and the dose–response curve still showed a positive association between TyG index and kidney stone risk. Conclusion The TyG index was independently associated with kidney stones and would be a novel biomarker in predicting occurrence for clinical decision.

HOMA-IR as a risk factor of gestational diabetes mellitus and a novel simple surrogate index in early pregnancy. Int J Gynaecol Obstet 2021; 157:694-701. [PMID: 34449903 DOI: 10.1002/ijgo.13905] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 08/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the association between insulin resistance and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in early pregnancy and find a simple surrogate index of the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). METHODS A total of 700 pregnant women were included in this prospective, double-center, observational cohort study. The glucose and lipid metabolic characterization was performed at 6-12 weeks of pregnancy. All participants underwent a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test at 24-28 weeks of pregnancy. Linear regression analysis was applied to find a novel surrogate index of HOMA-IR. Binary logistic analysis was applied to estimate possible associations of different indices with GDM and insulin resistance. RESULTS GDM was diagnosed in 145 of 700 women with singleton pregnancies (20.7%). HOMA-IR was higher in the GDM group than in the normal glucose tolerance (NGT) group and was an individual risk factor for GDM (adjusted risk ratio RR 1.371, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.129-1.665, P < 0.001). TyHGB index as the surrogate index of HOMA-IR was represented as TG/HDL-C + 0.7*FBG (mmol/L) +0.1*preBMI (kg/m2 )(where TG/HDL-C is triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; FBG is fasting blood glucose, and preBMI is the pre-pregnancy body mass index [calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters]). The cut-off point of the TyHGB index was 6.0 (area under the curve 0.827, 95% CI 0.794-0.861, P < 0.001) for mild insulin resistance. CONCLUSION Increased HOMA-IR in early pregnancy was a risk factor of GDM. TyHGB index could be a surrogate index of HOMA-IR and had a predictive value for GDM.

Abstract
Background Triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) is a recently developed alternative indicator to identify insulin resistance. However, few studies have investigated the association between the TyG-BMI and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Therefore, this study aimed to study the relationship between NAFLD and the TyG-BMI in the general population and its predictive value. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 14,251 general subjects who took part in a comprehensive health examination. The anthropological characteristics and many risk factors for NAFLD were measured. Results After fully adjusting for confounding variables, a stable positive correlation was found between NAFLD and the TyG-BMI (OR: 3.90 per SD increase; 95% CI: 3.54 to 4.29; P-trend< 0.00001). This positive correlation was not simply linear but a stable non-linear correlation. Additionally, obvious threshold effects and saturation effects were found, in which a threshold effect occurred when the TyG-BMI was between 100 and 150; when the TyG-BMI was between 300 and 400, the corresponding NAFLD risk appeared saturated. Furthermore, receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that the TyG-BMI could better predict the risk of NAFLD than other traditional indicators [TyG-BMI (AUC): 0.886; 95% CI: 0.8797–0.8927; P < 0.0001], particularly among young and middle-aged and non-obese people. Conclusions This epidemiological study is the first on the association between the TyG-BMI and NAFLD risk in the general population. In this large data set from the general population, the TyG-BMI showed an independent positive correlation with NAFLD. The discovery of the threshold effect and saturation effect between them provides a new idea to prevent and treat NAFLD.

Stronger association of triglyceride glucose index than the HOMA-IR with arterial stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes: a real-world single-centre study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2021; 20:82. [PMID: 33888131 PMCID: PMC8063289 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-021-01274-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 93] [Impact Index Per Article: 31.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2021] [Accepted: 04/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) has been proposed as a simple and reliable alternative insulin resistance (IR) marker, while the homeostasis model assessment for IR (HOMA-IR) is the most frequently used index. Few studies have evaluated the role of IR assessed by the TyG index and HOMA-IR on arterial stiffness in a type 2 diabetes (T2D) population with a high risk of increased arterial stiffness. We aimed to investigate the association of the TyG index and HOMA-IR with arterial stiffness in patients with T2D. Methods We recruited 3185 patients with T2D, who underwent brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), an indicator of arterial stiffness, but without previous cardiovascular disease. Increased arterial stiffness was defined as a baPWV value greater than the 75th percentile (18.15 m/s) in the present study. The TyG index was determined as ln(fasting triglycerides [mg/dL] × fasting glucose [mg/dL]/2), and the HOMA-IR was calculated as (fasting insulin [μIU/mL] × fasting glucose [mmol/L])/22.5. Results The mean age of the study participants was 54.6 ± 12.0 years, and 1954 (61.4%) were men. Seemingly unrelated regression estimation analysis demonstrated that the TyG index had stronger associations with baPWV than the HOMA-IR (all P < 0.001). In the multivariable logistic analyses, each one-unit increase in the TyG index was associated with a 1.40-fold (95% CI 1.16–1.70, P < 0.001) higher prevalence of increased arterial stiffness, but the prominent association of the HOMA-IR with the prevalence of increased arterial stiffness was not observed. Subgroup analyses showed that a more significant association between the TyG index and the prevalence of increased arterial stiffness was detected in older patients with a longer duration of diabetes and poor glycaemic control (all P < 0.05). Conclusions Compared with the HOMA-IR, the TyG index is independently and more strongly associated with arterial stiffness in patients with T2D.
