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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Reduced serum magnesium (Mg) levels have been associated with obesity, insulin resistance (IR), type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome in adults. However, in the children population, the evidence is still limited. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to analyze the association of serum Mg levels with the frequency of overweight and obesity and cardiometabolic traits in 189 schoolchildren (91 girls and 98 boys) between 6 and 12 years old from Mexico City. SUBJECTS/METHODS Anthropometrical data were collected and biochemical parameters were measured by enzymatic colorimetric assay. Serum Mg level was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index was used as a surrogate marker to evaluate IR. RESULTS Serum Mg level was negatively associated with overweight (Odds ratio [OR] = 0.377, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.231-0.614, p < 0.001) and obesity (OR = 0.345, 95% CI 0.202-0.589, p < 0.001). Serum Mg level resulted negatively associated with body mass index (BMI, β = -1.16 ± 0.26, p < 0.001), BMI z-score (β = -0.48 ± 0.10, p < 0.001) and TyG index (β = -0.04 ± 0.04, p = 0.041). Through a mediation analysis was estimated that BMI z-score accounts for 60.5% of the negative association of serum Mg level with IR (Sobel test: z = 2.761; p = 0.005). CONCLUSION Our results evidence that BMI z-score mediate part of the negative association of serum Mg level and IR in Mexican schoolchildren.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The main objective of this study was to find if thiamine disulfide (TD) lowers blood glucose level and improves insulin resistance (IR) in liver and muscle in rats with chronic type 1 diabetes (T1DM) using euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp technique. METHODS A total of fifty male Wistar rats were assigned to five groups consisted of: non-diabetic control (NDC), diabetic control (DC), diabetic treated with thiamine disulfide (D-TD), diabetic treated with insulin (D-insulin), and diabetic treated with both TD and insulin (D-insulin+TD). Diabetes was induced by a 60 mg/kg dose of streptozotocin. Blood glucose levels, pyruvate tolerance test (PTT), intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT), levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), glucose infusion rate (GIR), liver and serum lipid profiles, liver glycogen stores, liver enzymes ([ALT], [AST]), and serum calcium and magnesium levels. were evaluated. Additionally, gene expression levels of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (Pepck), forkhead box O1 (Foxo1), and glucose transporter type 4 (Glut4) were assessed in liver and skeletal muscle tissues. RESULTS Blood glucose level was reduced by TD treatment. In addition, TyG index, HOMA-IR, serum and liver lipid profiles, HbA1c levels, and expressions of Foxo1 and Pepck genes were decreased significantly (P<0.05) in all the treated groups. However, TD did not influence Glut4 gene expression, but GIR as a critical index of IR were 5.0±0.26, 0.29±0.002, 1.5±0.07, 0.9±0.1 and 1.3±0.1 mg.min-1Kg-1 in NDC, DC, D-TD, D-insulin and D-insulin+TD respectively. CONCLUSIONS TD improved IR in the liver primarily by suppressing gluconeogenic pathways, implying the potential use of TD as a therapeutic agent in diabetes.

Abstract
Background: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a marker of insulin resistance and is associated with cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Left ventricular remodeling (LVR) after myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with poor prognosis. Methods: This retrospective study included 293 STEMI patients. Echocardiography was performed before discharge and 3 months after MI. Results: Compared with the non-LVR group, TyG index value was found to be higher in the LVR group (p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that higher maximal troponin I value, higher calculated TyG index value, higher N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide level and the presence of anterior MI were independently associated with the development of LVR. Conclusion: A high TyG index level may contribute to the prediction of LVR in nondiabetic STEMI patients undergoing successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) in patients with coronary heart disease and to examine the role of left ventricular GLS in detecting early changes in cardiac function in patients with coronary heart disease in the subclinical stage. METHODS A cross-sectional study involving 178 participants with symptomatic coronary artery disease excluding myocardial infarction or left ventricular dysfunction was conducted in Jilin Province, China. Basic clinical, biochemical, and echocardiographic data were obtained from all participants. Myocardial strain parameters were compared between patients with higher TyG index and those with lower TyG index, and the association between the gradually elevated TyG index and on subclinical cardiac function in patients with coronary heart disease was evaluated. RESULTS The GLS of left ventricle was lower in the higher TyG index group than in the lower TyG index group. As the TyG index increases, the GLS progressively decreases. The results remained stable after adjusting for confounding factors. CONCLUSIONS A higher TyG index maybe independently associated with subclinical left ventricular dysfunction in patients with coronary heart disease.

Insulin resistance surrogate markers and risk of hyperuricemia among patients with and without coronary artery disease: a cross-sectional study. Front Nutr 2023; 10:1048675. [PMID: 37671195 PMCID: PMC10475726 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2023.1048675] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2022] [Accepted: 08/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Although emerging evidence emphasizes the associations between both insulin resistance and hyperuricemia with coronary artery disease (CAD) risk, no definite relationship has yet been established. In this respect, time-efficient and affordable methods to estimate insulin resistance (IR) status, and to predict risk of hyperuricemia, are needed. Thus, the goal of this investigation was to examine the associations between IR, as assessed by novel surrogate markers [triglyceride-glucose (TyG) and TyG-body mass index (TyG-BMI)], and risk of hyperuricemia in patients with and without diagnosed CAD. Methods This cross-sectional study used data from the medical records of 1,170 patients who were referred to the cardiology outpatient clinic. Medical records, anthropometrics, and serum analytes were determined at the initial visit. Hyperuricemia was defined as serum uric acid ≥ 5.6 mg/dL. IR was estimated through surrogate markers (TyG and TyG-BMI). Multiple regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between these indices and odds of hyperuricemia among patients with and without CAD. Results Overall, 814 angiographically-confirmed CAD cases (mean age (SD) = 52 (8)yrs) were compared with 356 patients without CAD (mean age (SD) = 48 (8)yr). There were positive associations between TyG and TyG-BMI indices and odds of hyperuricemia in CAD patients after controlling for confounders (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.60; 95%CI: 1.02-2.51; p-value = 0.036; and aOR = 1.83; 95%CI: 1.24-2.70; p-value = 0.002, third tertiles for TYG and TYG-BMI, respectively). Conclusion The present findings suggest that higher levels of the IR surrogate markers, TyG and TyG-BMI, are associated with higher odds of hyperuricemia in patients with CAD. However, given the cross-sectional design of this study, the sensitivity and specificity of these novel markers could not be determined for confirming the diagnosis of IR and hyperuricemia, further studies are needed to determine such outcomes and to confirm the current findings.

Abstract
Background Visceral obesity and insulin resistance contribute to developing cardiometabolic syndrome (MetS). We investigated the predictive abilities of lipid accumulation product (LAP), waist circumference-triglyceride index (WTI), and triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index for MetS screening among the general Ghanaian adults. Methods The final prospective analysis included 4740 healthy adults aged 30-90 years from three communities comprising Ejisu, Konongo, and Ashanti Akim Agogo in Ghana. Self-structured questionnaire pretested was used to collect sociodemographic, anthropometric, and clinical data. Blood samples were taken after fasting to measure glucose and lipid levels. LAP, WTI, and TyG were calculated from standard equations. MetS was defined by the International Diabetes Federation criteria. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and multivariable logistic regression were utilized to evaluate the potential of the three indices in identifying MetS. Results Of the 4740 participants, 39.7% had MetS. MetS was more common in females (50.3%) than in males (22.2%). Overall, LAP ≥ 27.52 yielded as the best index for MetS with the highest area under the ROC curve (AUC) (0.866). At cut-off LAP point of ≥23.87 in males and ≥33.32 in females, an AUC of 0.951 and 0.790 was identified in MetS prediction, respectively. LAP was an independent risk measure of MetS for both males (45.6-fold) and females (3.7-fold) whereas TyG was an independent risk measure for females (3.7-fold) only. Conclusions MetS is increasing among the general adult population. LAP and TyG are important sex-specific risk measures to screen for MetS among the general adult population in our cohort.

Abstract
Introduction The prevalence of obesity constantly increases worldwide and definitely increases the risk of premature death in early adulthood. While there is no treatment yet with proven efficacy for the metabolic clamp such as arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, diabetes type 2, and fatty liver disease, it is imperative to find a way to decrease cardiometabolic complications. Early prevention strategies beginning in childhood are the most logical step to reduce future cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to determine the most sensitive and specific predictive markers of the metabolically unhealthy phenotype with high cardiometabolic risk in overweight/obese adolescent boys. Methods This study was carried out at the Ternopil Regional Children's hospital (Western Ukraine) and involved 254 randomly chosen adolescent overweight or obese boys [median age was 16.0 (15.0,16.1) years]. A control group of 30 healthy children with proportional body weight comparable in gender and age to the main group was presented. A list of anthropometrical markers with biochemical values of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism with hepatic enzymes was determined. All overweight/obese boys were divided into three groups: 51.2% of the boys with metabolic syndrome (MetS) based on the IDF criteria; 19.7% of the boys were metabolically healthy obese (MHO) without hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia; and the rest of the boys (29.1%) were classified as metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO) with only one criterion (hypertension, dyslipidemia, or hyperglycemia). Results Based on multiple logistic regression analysis that included all anthropometric and biochemical values and calculated indexes in boys from the MHO group and MetS, it was revealed that the maximum likelihood in the prediction of MetS makes the combination of triglyceride glucose index, pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis index (PNFI), and triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (R2 =0.713, p<0.000). By tracing the receiver operating characteristic curve, the model is confirmed as a good predictor of MetS (AUC=0.898, odds ratio=27.111 percentage correct=86.03%) in overweight and obese boys. Conclusion Triglyceride glucose index, pediatric NAFLD fibrosis index, and triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio are a valuable combination of predictive markers of the metabolically unhealthy phenotype in Ukrainian overweight/obese boys.

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 of Systemic Immune Inflammation Index with Estimated Pulse Wave Velocity, Atherogenic Index of Plasma, Triglyceride-Glucose Index, and Cardiovascular Disease: A Large Cross-Sectional Study. Mediators Inflamm 2023; 2023:1966680. [PMID: 36846196 PMCID: PMC9946741 DOI: 10.1155/2023/1966680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2022] [Revised: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/04/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023] Open
Abstract
In the U.S. general population, there is a lack of understanding regarding the association between the systemic immune inflammation (SII) index and estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV), atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), and triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and cardiovascular disease (CVD). As a result, the objective of our research was to investigate the association between the SII index and ePWV, AIP, and TyG index and incident CVD. We used the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 1999 to 2018 to conduct this study. The correlation between the SII index and ePWV, AIP, and TyG index was examined using generalized additive models with smooth functions. In addition, the association between SII index and triglyceride (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and fast glucose (FBG) also were explored. Finally, we further performed multivariable logistic regression analysis, restricted cubic spline (RCS) plots, and subgroup analysis to study the connection between the SII index and CVD. Our analysis included 17389 subjects from the NHANES database. A substantial positive association existed between SII, WV, and the TyG index. In addition, with the increase of the SII index, AIP showed a trend of decreasing first, then rising, and then decreasing. The SII index was inversely and linearly associated with triglyceride (TG), while positively and linearly associated with fast glucose (FBG). However, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) had a tendency of first declining, then climbing, and finally falling with the rise in the SII index. After adjusting for potential confounders, compared with the lowest quartiles, the odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals for CVD across the quartiles were 0.914 (0.777, 1.074), 0.935 (0.779, 1.096), and 1.112 (0.956, 1.293) for SII index. The RCS plot showed an inverse U-shaped curve relationship between the SII index and CVD. Overall, this study found a strong correlation between a higher SII index and ePWV and the TyG index. Additionally, these cross-sectional data also revealed a U-shaped connection between the SII index and CVD.

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.

Influence of age on the association between the triglyceride-glucose index and all-cause mortality in patients with cardiovascular diseases. Lipids Health Dis 2022; 21:135. [PMID: 36496414 PMCID: PMC9741797 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-022-01738-3] [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: 09/07/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with cardiovascular diseases, it is reported that the triglyceride-glucose index (TGI) potentially indicates prognosis. However, the results are controversial. Moreover, whether age has an impact on the predictive value of TGI remains unclear. METHODS Participants with cardiovascular diseases were enrolled using the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) registry. TGI was calculated as ln (triglyceride×glucose/2). The survival status was recorded every 2 years in the follow-up waves. Multivariate regression analysis was carried out to determine the relationship between TGI levels and long-term all-cause mortality in patients grouped by different age. Patients younger than 65 years old were regarded as middle-aged group. Otherwise, they were classified as old group. RESULTS In total, 2923 patients with cardiovascular diseases and baseline blood test results were included. After 7 years of follow-up, 242 (8.91%) patients died. Cox regression analysis revealed that higher TGI levels were associated with a higher risk of long-term all-cause mortality in middle-aged participants (hazard ratio [HR], 3.64; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.44-9.22, P = 0.006) but not in old participants (HR 1.20, 95% CI 0.62-2.32, P = 0.594, P for interaction = 0.017), after adjusting physical activity and other factors. Kaplan-Meier estimate analysis and restricted cubic spline curves showed similar results. CONCLUSION TGI was a promising marker for predicting all-cause mortality in middle-aged patients after cardiovascular diseases. Patients younger than 65 years old who have a higher level of TGI may develop a higher risk of all-cause mortality, and they are encouraged to control vascular risk factors and take more physical activity to improve their prognosis. Additionally, whether intervention in regulating TGI levels is beneficial for the prognosis of these patients needs further investigation.

Abstract
Peripheral arterial disease is a serious clinical manifestation caused by atherosclerosis. It is one common cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is commonly seen in males, and its (prevelance) increases with age. It is most prevalent with smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlip-idemia. Novel studies investigate the relationship between triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) and cardiovascular diseases. Studies investigating the association of this index and peripheral arterial disease and disease severity are generally done by using The Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC) classification. We aimed to study this association by using the new Global Limb Anatomic Staging System (GLASS) classification. Two hundred patients between 25 to 90 years old diagnosed with peripheral arterial disease and admitted to the hospital for peripheral arterial angiography between July 2021 and December 2021, were evaluated retrospectively with blood parameters and angiographic images. Patients were divided into two groups: moderate (group 1; n=58) and severe (group 2; n=142) according to the GLASS classification. No statistical differences were observed for comorbidities and repeated interventional pro-cedure rates (p=0.164). Triglyceride values were found to be statistically dif-ferent between groups (p=0.040). TyG was found higher in group 2 (p= 0.04). According to the binary logistic regression model, only TyG was found to have a significant effect as a diagnostic factor (p=0.011). TyG was also significantly correlated with the Rutherford (p=0.012) and GLASS classification severity (p<0.001). Peripheral arterial disease and disease severity could be easily moni-tored with simple calculable TyG. In this way, precautions could be taken, and morbidities could be prevented.

Abstract
Background The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a novel marker representing the degree of insulin resistance (IR) and is closely related to cardiovascular diseases. However, the association between the TyG index and vascular function in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unknown. Materials and methods This study was a post hoc analysis of a multicenter, prospective cohort study. In this study, patients with STEMI who underwent PCI were included, and coronary angiography data were analyzed by Quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) and quantitative flow ratio (QFR). In addition, the TyG index was calculated as follows: Ln [fasting triglyceride (mg/dl) × fasting blood glucose (mg/dl) × 1/2]. According to the post-PCI QFR, patients were divided into two groups: post-PCI QFR ≤ 0.92 group and post-PCI QFR > 0.92 group. Construction of logistic regression model to explore the relationship between the TyG index and post-PCI QFR. Results A total of 241 STEMI patients were included in this study. Compared with patients in the post-PCI QFR > 0.92 group, the TyG index was higher in the post-PCI QFR ≤ 0.92 group. Logistic regression model showed that after adjusting for other confounding factors, the TyG index was positively correlated with the risk of post-PCI QFR ≤ 0.92 (OR = 1.697, 95% CI 1.171–2.460, P = 0.005). Restricted cubic splines showed the cutoff value of TyG index associated with post-PCI QFR ≤ 0.92 risk was 9.75. Conclusion The TyG index was associated with the risk of post-PCI QFR ≤ 0.92 in STEMI patients. The risk of post-PCI QFR ≤ 0.92 increased when the TyG index exceeded 9.75.

Abstract
Background: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a reliable marker of insulin resistance. We aimed to investigate the relationship between the TyG index and aortic intima-media thickness (IMT) in individuals without diabetes mellitus and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease undergoing transoesophageal echocardiography due to suspected structural heart disease.Methods: One hundred twenty-two patients enrolled in the study between January 2021 and June 2021. Patients were divided into two groups according to their median IMT; patients with an IMT equal to or less than 1.42 mm were low IMT group, and higher than 1.42 mm were high IMT group. Triglyceride-glucose index were higher in the high IMT group (8.69 ± 0.59 vs. 8.37 ± 0.53, p = .003).Results: Triglyceride-glucose index was correlated with IMT (r = 0.259, p = .005) and in binary logistic regression analysis age and TyG was independently associated with having high IMT (β = 0.076, exp(B)=1.079 95%CI = 1.041-1.118, p < .001 and β = 0.847, exp(B)= 2.334 95%CI= 1.048-5.199, p = .038, respectively).Conclusion: We found an independent relationship between TyG and IMT of the thoracic aorta, an early marker of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients without known atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease or diabetes. Therefore, the TyG index can identify high-risk subjects in the general population.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Curcumin has been shown to exert glucose-lowering and anti-atherosclerotic effects in type 2 diabetes. Hence, we investigated curcumin’s effects on atherogenesis markers, fatty liver, insulin resistance, and adipose tissue-related indicators in patients with NAFLD. In this secondary analysis of a 12-week randomized controlled trial, fifty-two patients with NAFLD received lifestyle modification. In addition, they were randomly allocated to either the curcumin group (1.5 g/day) or the matching placebo. Outcome variables (assessed before and after the study) were: the fatty liver index (FLI), hepatic steatosis index (HSI), fatty liver score (FLS), BMI, age, ALT, TG score (BAAT), triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, Castelli risk index-I (CRI-I), Castelli risk index-II (CRI-II), TG/HDL–C ratio, atherogenic coefficient (AC), atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), lipoprotein combine index (LCI), cholesterol index (CHOLINDEX), lipid accumulation product (LAP), body adiposity index (BAI), visceral adiposity index (VAI), metabolic score for visceral fat (METS-VF), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) values. The TyG index decreased in the curcumin group and increased in the placebo group, with a significant difference between the groups (p = 0.029). However, a between-group change was not significant after adjustment for multiple testing. Other indices were not significantly different between the groups either before or after multiple test correction. After the intervention, there was a lower number of patients with severe fatty liver (FLI ≥ 60) and metabolic syndrome in the curcumin group compared to the placebo (p = 0.021 and p = 0.012, respectively). In conclusion, curcumin offers no additional cardiometabolic benefits to lifestyle intervention in patients with NAFLD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Triglyceride (TG) and its related metabolic indices, all recognized as surrogates of insulin resistance, have been demonstrated to be relevant to clinical prognosis. However, the relative value of these TG-related indices for predicting cardiovascular events among patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has not been examined. METHODS The TG, the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, the atherogenic index of plasma, TG to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, and the lipoprotein combine index were assessed in 1694 ACS patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), which was the composite of all-cause mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, or unplanned repeat revascularization. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 31 months, 345 patients (20.4%) had MACE. The risk of the MACE was increased with higher TG and the four TG-derived metabolic indices [TG-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 1.002, 95% CI: 1.001-1.003; TyG index-adjusted HR = 1.736, 95% CI: 1.398-2.156; atherogenic index of plasma-adjusted HR = 2.513, 95% CI: 1.562-4.043; TG to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio-adjusted HR = 1.148, 95% CI: 1.048-1.258; and lipoprotein combine index-adjusted HR = 1.009, 95% CI: 1.004-1.014; P < 0.001 for all indices]. TG and all the four indices significantly improved the predictive ability for MACE in addition to the baseline model. Among them, TyG index showed the best ability for predicting MACE compared with the other three indices from all the three measurements ( P < 0.05 for all comparison). CONCLUSIONS TG and TG-derived metabolic indices were all strongly associated with MACE among ACS patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Among all the indices, TyG index showed the best ability to predict the risk of MACE.

Abstract
Triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) has been used in healthy individuals as a marker of insulin resistance. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) showed an increased risk of developing low muscle mass compared to control subjects. This study is performed to determine the association of TyG index with the presence of low muscle mass in T2DM patients. This study included 1098 T2DM patients who were recruited from the inpatients in Qilu Hospital (Qingdao). Skeletal muscle index (SMI) was measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Serum triglyceride and fasting plasma glucose were measured and used to calculate TyG index. 119 male subjects (20.2%) had low muscle mass, while 72 female subjects (14.1%) had low muscle mass in T2DM patients. TyG index was correlated with a decreased risk of low muscle mass in both male and female T2DM groups. TyG index was found to be positively correlated with SMI after multivariate adjustment in male subjects. When TyG index was ≤ 9.5, TyG index was positively correlated with SMI. However, when TyG index was > 9.5, there was not a significant association between TyG index and SMI. Moreover, TyG index was not correlated with SMI after multivariate analysis in female subjects. However, TyG index was positively correlated with SMI when TyG index was ≤ 9. When TyG index was > 9, TyG index was negatively correlated with SMI, however, the correlation was not statistically significant. TyG index is inversely correlated with the presence of low muscle mass in T2DM patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of elements linked with type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The early detection of individuals at the risk of developing metabolic syndrome can prevent the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus and CVD. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the association of the lipid accumulation product (LAP) and triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index with metabolic syndrome among young adults. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 300 young adults within the age range of 20 - 40 years. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to modified National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III guidelines. The LAP and TyG index were calculated. Multivariate logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were performed to assess the association of the LAP and TyG index with metabolic syndrome. RESULTS The LAP and TyG index were significantly associated with metabolic syndrome (P < 0.05). The LAP showed the highest area under the curve (0.882 and 0.905 in male and female subjects, respectively), followed by the TyG index (0.875 and 0.886 in male and female subjects, respectively, at P < 0.0001. The cut-off values for the LAP were 45.65 in males with a sensitivity and specificity of 80% and 46.91 in females with a sensitivity and specificity of 88%. The cut-off points for the TyG index were 8.63 in males with 80% sensitivity and 78.9% specificity and 8.54 in females with 83.3% sensitivity and 79.6% specificity. CONCLUSIONS The LAP and TyG index are significantly associated with metabolic syndrome in young adults. As simple and inexpensive markers, they can be used to identify individuals with metabolic syndrome with high sensitivity and specificity.

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 The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, a surrogate marker of insulin resistance (IR) with a high sensitivity of 96.5% and a specificity of 85.0% for the diagnosis of IR, with computed tomography (CT) features in patients with tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus. Methods A total of 247 subjects were enrolled from July, 2020 to May, 2021. The basic clinical features and CT features were analyzed. In addition, multivariate logistic regression analysis models were employed to evaluate the association of the TyG indicator with CT features in participants. Results In the quartile groups of TyG index, air bronchial sign detection rate was 11.7%, 14.5%, 23.2%, and 44.1%; large segmented leafy shadow detection rate was 27.9%, 40.6%, 46.4%, and 66.2%; thick-walled cavity was found in 38.2%, 43.4%, 57.9%, and 69.1%; the rate of multiple cavities was 17.6%, 27.5%, 36.2%, 52.9%; the rate of lymph node enlargement was 22.1%, 17.4%, 28.9%, and 38.2%, respectively. In addition, the positive relation with the TyG index and the prevalence of abnormal CT signs was observed in the fully adjusted model: TyG, per one-unit increase: air bronchial sign: adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 3.92, 95% CI 1–15.35, P = 0.049; multiple cavities: AOR 4.1, 95% CI 1.26–13.31, P = 0.019; thick-walled cavity: AOR 2.89, 95% CI 1.05–8.03, P = 0.041. In quartile of TyG index, compared with patients in quartile 1, the AOR (95% CI) values for air bronchial sign in quartile 4 was 8.1 (1.7–44), p = 0.011; multiple cavities was 7.1 (1.7–32), p = 0.008; thick-walled cavity was 7.8 (1.9–34.7), p = 0.005. Conclusion The present study showed that an increased TyG index was positively related to the severity of patients with T2DM-PTB.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction and structural abnormalities are common cardiac changes in hypertension (HTN), and several factors other than high blood pressure (BP) may play a role in these changes. The aim of this study was to reveal the relationship between triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, a novel parameter for insulin resistance (IR), with LV diastolic function and structure in hypertensive patients. MATERIAL AND METHOD A total of 119 newly diagnosed, untrated hypertensive patients free of diabetes and/or cardiovascular complications were included in this study. IR was estimated with the TyG index calculated from ln [fasting TG (mg/dL) × fasting blood glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiographic examinations were performed to assess LV diastolic functions and structure. RESULTS Based on median TyG index, 51 patients was assigned as group I (<8.7) and 68 patients as group II (>8.7). In patients with high TyG index, left atrial volume index (LAVi) (p < .001) LV mass index (LVMI) (p = .016), E/e' ratio (p < .001) increased, and e' velocity (p < .001) and E/A ratio (p = .028) decreased. There was a statistically significant correlation between TyG index and these parameters (all p > .05). Stepwise multiple regression analysis demonstrated that the relationship of TyG index with LV diastolic function and structure was independent of potential confounders (all p < .001). CONCLUSION This study suggest that a high TyG index is related to LV diastolic functional impairment and structure abnormality in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients in the absence of diabetes or CVD.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the TyG index in the occurrence of periodontitis among the United States (US) population. Methods We analyzed clinical data from 4813 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2009 to 2014. the TyG index was calculated as ln [fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Dose-response curves, univariate and multivariate logistic analyses were used to analyze the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) between TyG index and periodontitis. In addition, we performed 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) for periodontitis and no periodontitis participants to further explore the relationship between TyG and periodontitis. Results A total of 4813 participants were included in our study, of which 1353 (28.1%) reported periodontitis and 3460 (71.9%) no periodontitis. The dose-response curves showed a non-linear positive association between TyG and periodontitis, with the risk of periodontitis increased with increasing TyG. In addition, similar results were still observed after subgroup analysis and PSM analysis. After adjusting for confounding variables, multivariate logistic analysis showed that TyG was associated with an increased risk of periodontitis (aOR =1.153; 95% CI 1.006-1.322, p=0.034). Conclusion Elevated TyG index was significantly associated with a high risk of periodontitis, and people with a high TyG index should be aware of the risk of periodontitis progression in order to establish lifestyle changes at an early stage.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to present age- and sex-specific distributions of the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and to evaluate their relationship with cardiometabolic risk factors in children and adolescents. A total of 7404 participants aged 10-18 years from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey were included as the reference population. The TyG index was calculated as ln(fasting triglyceride [mg/dL] × fasting glucose [mg/dL]/2). The percentile of the TyG index exhibited a steady linear relationship with age for both sexes. TyG index significantly correlated with waist circumference (WC) standard deviation score (SDS; r = 0.110, p < 0.001), systolic blood pressure (SBP; r = 0.104, p < 0.001), diastolic blood pressure (DBP; r = 0.083, p < 0.001), glucose (r = 0.220, p < 0.001), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C; r = - 0.325, p < 0.001), and triglycerides (TG; r = 0.926, p < 0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the TyG index was significantly associated with WC SDS (β = 0.116, p < 0.001), SBP (β = 2.009, p < 0.001), DBP (β = 1.464, p < 0.001), glucose (β = 3.376, p < 0.001), HDL-C (β = - 6.431, p < 0.001), and TG (β = 85.518, p < 0.001). Our results suggest that the TyG index has a steady linear distribution for sex and age in children and adolescents and constitutes an indicator for predicting metabolic disorders that could lead to cardiovascular disease later in life.

Abstract
Background: Inconsistent results due to age, ethnic, and geographic differences have been found on the predictive capacity of atherogenic indices in previous studies. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of 6 atherogenic indices for MetS in a Spanish adolescent population. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 981 adolescents (13.2 ± 1.2y) that were randomly recruited from schools in Southeastern Spain. Anthropometric and biochemical parameters were evaluated to identify the presence of MetS. The following atherogenic indices were calculated: triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides to HDL-cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-c), LDL-cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol ratio (LDL-c/HDL-c), and total cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol ratio (TC/HDL-c). Results: The area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curves was used for discrimination purposes. AIP was the atherogenic index most strongly associated with MetS with an unadjusted odds ratio (OR) of 37.98 in boys and of 28.75 in girls. A high OR was maintained after adjustment by different factors. AUC values for all atherogenic indices were above 0.83 and 0.88 in boys and in girls, respectively. Conclusions: Among the 6 atherogenic indices studied, AIP was the one most strongly associated with MetS in Spanish adolescents. The AUC values obtained from ROC analyses suggest that all atherogenic indices have the ability to predict MetS. These atherogenic indices are interesting and useful predictive indicators for MetS. However, more studies are needed to explore in-depth this predictive capacity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To examine the triglyceride/glucose index (TyG) as an insulin resistance marker in obese children and adolescents and its relation to clinical and biochemical parameters, body composition and lifestyle. PATIENTS AND METHOD Sixty patients aged 7-16 years of age were enrolled. Anthropometric variables were recorded, together with pubertal stage, blood pressure and body composition assessed by bioimpedance. The TyG index was calculated as ln (fasting glucose (mg/dL) × triglycerides (mg/dL))/2 and the HOMA (homeostatic model assessment) index as fasting insulin (μU/mL) × fasting glucose (mmol/L)/22.5. Feeding habits were documented by adherence to the Mediterranean dietary pattern questionnaire, while physical activity was assessed using the International Sedentary Assessment Tool (ISAT), as well as accelerometry (Actigraph wGT3X+). RESULTS The mean TyG index was 4.45 ± 0.18, and proved higher in the pubertal group. We found a positive correlation with the HOMA index (r = 0.39; P = 0.03) and TG/HDL-c index (r = 0.53; P < 0.001). The best cut-off point of the TyG index for predicting insulin resistance was 4.21 in prepubertal children (sensitivity 84%, specificity 100%; AUC: 0.84) and 4.33 in pubertal children (sensitivity 89%, specificity 69%; AUC: 0.61). A positive correlation was found with screen time (r = 0.39; P = 0.01), as well as a negative correlation with caloric expenditure (Kcal/day) in the prepubertal group (r = -0.81; P = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS The TyG index could be a useful insulin resistance marker in the pediatric population. Moderate to vigorous physical activity should be encouraged, as well as restricting screen time for leisure purposes, mainly in the prepubertal group.

Abstract
Background: Child malnutrition represents a major public health problem with physiological, psychological, and social short- and long-term implications. Objective: To compare the influence of nutritional status on oxidative stress (OS) markers in children aged 3-6 years. Methods: Children were categorized into four groups: underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obesity. Glucose (Glu), cholesterol (Chol), high-density lipoproteins, insulin, triacylglycerols (TG), triacylglycerols/glucose (TyG) index, and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were analyzed. In addition, OS [malondialdehyde (MDA) and 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT)] and antioxidant defense markers [superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and the ratio of reduced/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG)] were quantified. Results: Children with obesity showed significantly higher levels of MDA and 3-NT, and increased SOD activity compared with normal weight children. Glu, Chol, TG levels, TyG indexes, HOMA-IR, MDA, 3-NT, and SOD positively correlated with body mass index (BMI) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention percentiles (CDC PC). However, CAT concentration and the GSH/GSSG ratio correlated negatively with BMI and CDC PC. In children with underweight, we found a positive correlation of TG levels and TyG indexes with BMI, whereas both markers positively correlated with BMI and CDC PC in children with overweight. MDA negatively correlated with BMI in children with underweight, while a positive association was observed in children with overweight. Finally, SOD, CAT, and GSH/GSSG negatively correlated with both BMI and CDC PC in children with overweight. Conclusions: Malnutrition, especially obesity, is associated with metabolic and OS disturbances in preschool children. It is urgent to design strategies to prevent malnutrition in this age group since this stage of development is crucial to potentially avoid future co-morbidities.

Triglyceride-glucose index is associated with in-stent restenosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome after percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2021; 20:137. [PMID: 34238294 PMCID: PMC8268452 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-021-01332-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 64] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2021] [Accepted: 06/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is an alternative marker of insulin resistance (IR) and is closely associated with the prevalence and prognosis of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, the association between the TyG index and in-stent restenosis (ISR) after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains unknown. Methods The present study retrospectively recruited patients who were admitted for ACS and underwent coronary angiography at 6 to 24 months after successful DES-based percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In addition, we calculated the TyG index with the following formula: Ln(fasting triglyceride [mg/dL] × fasting blood glucose [mg/dL]/2) and divided patients into 3 groups according to the tertile of the TyG index. Most importantly, multivariate logistic regression analysis models were also constructed to assess the association between the TyG index and DES-ISR in patients with ACS. Results A total of 1574 patients with ACS (58.4 ± 9.4 years, 77.4% male) were included in this study. At the median follow-up time of 12 (9–14) months, the prevalence of DES-ISR increased stepwise with the increasing tertile of the TyG index (11.6% vs 17.3% vs 19.4%, p = 0.002), and the TyG index was also higher in the ISR group than in the non-ISR group (9.00 ± 0.58 vs 8.84 ± 0.61, p < 0.001). In addition, the positive association between the TyG index and the prevalence of DES-ISR was also determined in the fully adjusted model (TyG, per 1-unit increase: OR 1.424, 95% CI 1.116 to 1.818, p = 0.005; tertile of TyG, the OR (95% CI) values for tertile 2 and tertile 3 were 1.454 (1.013 to 2.087) and 1.634 (1.125 to 2.374), respectively, with tertile 1 as a reference). The association was also reflected in most subgroups. Moreover, adding the TyG index to the predictive model for DES-ISR in patients with ACS could contribute to an increase in C-statistics (0.675 vs 0.659, p = 0.010), categorical net reclassification improvement (0.090, p < 0.001), and integrated discrimination improvement (0.004, p = 0.040). Conclusion An elevated TyG index was independently and positively associated with DES-ISR in patients with ACS who underwent PCI. However, the incremental predictive value of the TyG index for DES-ISR was slight. To further confirm our findings, future studies are needed.

Triglyceride glucose index combined with plaque characteristics as a novel biomarker for cardiovascular outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention in ST-elevated myocardial infarction patients: an intravascular optical coherence tomography study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2021; 20:131. [PMID: 34183007 PMCID: PMC8240222 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-021-01321-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2021] [Accepted: 06/15/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and aim This prospective study explored plaque morphology according to the underlying culprit lesion pathology (rupture versus erosion) in relation to the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index in patients with acute ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention and optical coherence tomography (OCT) for culprit lesions to elucidate the effects of the TyG index and type of plaque on the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Methods and outcomes A total of 274 patients with STEMI aged ≥ 18 years who underwent pre-intervention OCT imaging of culprit lesions between March 2017 and March 2019 were enrolled. The TyG index was calculated using the formula ln[fasting TG (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Patients with plaque rupture (PR) and plaque erosion (PE) were divided into three groups across the TyG tertiles. MACEs were defined as a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI) recurrence, and ischaemic stroke. In fully adjusted analyses, the middle tertile of TyG was significantly associated with greater rates of MACEs in patients with PR but not in those with PE (relative to the low tertile, HR [hazard ratio], 6.01; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.25–28.88; P = 0.025). Cox regression models indicated a significantly higher HR for MACEs in patients in the middle tertile of TyG than in those in the low tertile of TyG after full additional adjustment (HR, 5.45; 95% CI, 1.10–27.09; P = 0.038). However, being in the high tertile of TyG independently and significantly increased the risk of major bleeding events among patients with PE (HR, 2.50; 95% CI, 1.11–5.65; P = 0.028). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for predicting MACEs to evaluate the diagnostic value of the TyG index combined with the morphological characteristics of plaque after full adjustment was 0.881 (sensitivity = 94.74%, specificity = 78.04%, cut-off level = 0.73). Kaplan–Meier curves were generated for the cumulative incidence of MACEs for up to a median of 1.98 years stratified by tertiles of TyG among the PR and PE subgroups. Among patients with PR, there were significant differences among the tertiles of TyG (p = 0.030). Conclusion and relevance Microstructural OCT features of culprit lesions in combination with the TyG index, a surrogate estimate of insulin resistance, can be used in clinical practice to support risk stratification and predict adverse events in patients with STEMI.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of anthropometric indices with continuous metabolic syndrome (cMetS) risk score components in a large population-based sample of children and adolescents. METHODS This multi-centric study was performed on 3843 students aged 7-18 years who were selected by multistage, stratified cluster sampling method from 30 provinces of Iran. Demographic, anthropometric and biochemical factors were obtained and standardized residuals (z-scores) were calculated for MetS components. A structural equation modeling approach was applied to evaluate the relationships among the study variables and to implement the subsequent structural modeling. RESULTS The mean age of the participants (52.3% boys) was 12.4 ± 3.05 years. Standardized scores of body mass index (ZBMI) and waist circumference (ZWC) had a direct effect on standardized scores of mean arterial pressure (ZMAP) (0.23 and 0.24 in boys and 0.22 and 0.23 in girls, respectively) and triglyceride (ZTG) (0.07 and 0.04 in boys and 0.02 and 0.06 in girls, respectively), but the effect of ZWC was stronger than ZBMI on these variables. Age, socioeconomic status and sedentary behaviors showed a positive direct effect on ZWC (0.01, 0.05 and 0.07 in boys and 0.05, 0.08 and 0.002 in girls, respectively). These variables induced indirect effects on cMets risk score components through ZWC. CONCLUSION The magnitude of association between WC and continuous metabolic syndrome risk score components was higher compared to BMI in school-aged children, emphasizing on paying more attention to central obesity in childhood.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index), which is defined as the simple and novel marker of insulin resistance, is becoming increasingly important as a promising predictive marker for atherosclerotic diseases. Chronic limb-threatening ischemia is defined as the most advanced stage of the lower extremity peripheral artery disease, whose main cause is atherosclerosis and is associated in this respect with amputation, impaired quality of life, and mortality. The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the relation between the calculated TyG index values and chronic limb-threatening ischemia development. METHODS A total of 296 patients who were diagnosed with lower extremity peripheral artery disease in our outpatient clinic between October 2018 and October 2020 were included in this study retrospectively. Two groups were formed by clinically staging the patients according to Rutherford Classification. Patients who did not develop chronic limb-threatening ischemia were classified as "Group 1" (n = 224) and those who developed were classified as "Group 2" (n = 72). RESULTS The mean TyG index values that were calculated in Group 2 were significantly higher than in Group 1 (9.27 ± 0.31 vs. 9.00 ± 0.34, p < 0.001). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis conducted to determine the predictors of chronic limb-threatening ischemia development, C-reactive protein (OR [Odds Ratio]: 1.220, 95% CI [confidence interval]: 1.092-1.363, p < 0.001), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR: 0.775, 95% CI: 0.715-0.839, p < 0.001) and TyG index (OR: 5.796, 95% CI: 2.050-16.382, p = 0.001) were identified as independent predictors. Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that the cut-off value of TyG index was 9.13 (area under the curve: 0.721, p < 0.001) with 70.8% sensitivity and 65.2% specificity. The TyG index was significantly correlated with Rutherford category, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and mean platelet volume. CONCLUSIONS Chronic limb-threatening ischemia development may be predicted with the TyG index value, which is calculated easily from routine biochemical parameters, in patients diagnosed with lower extremity peripheral artery disease.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:4020. [PMID: 33921213 PMCID: PMC8069503 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18084020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2021] [Revised: 04/06/2021] [Accepted: 04/08/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Objectives: Increased triglyceride glucose (TyG) index appears to be linked to carotid and coronary atherosclerosis and calcifications and possesses an elevated future risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Corrected QT (QTc) interval prolongation is associated with ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, and a high prevalence of prolonged QTc interval was previously reported in blue-collar workers. The purpose of this study was to find the possible causal inter-relationship between TyG index and QTc interval in a large population of Chinese male steelworkers. Methods: A total of 3189 male workers from two steel plants were enrolled. They responded to a cross-sectional questionnaire on basic attributes and lifestyle, including sleep patterns. All workers in the two plants underwent periodic health checkups, including twelve-lead electrocardiography. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to assess the direct and indirect effects of TyG index on QTc interval. Results: With increasing TyG index tertile, the male steelworkers had an increased QTc interval. Applying multivariate analysis, TyG index was associated independently with the odds of QTc prolongation (adjusted odds ratio = 2.73, 95% confidence interval = 1.39-5.24, p = 0.004). SEM revealed that TyG index, hypertension, obesity, lifestyle, white blood cell (WBC) count, and liver function had statistically significant direct effects on QTc interval. Furthermore, TyG index also had an indirect effect on QTc interval through hypertension, obesity, WBC count, and liver function. Moreover, lifestyle had an indirect effect on QTc interval through TyG index. The final model explained 14% of the variability in QTc interval. Conclusions: An increased TyG index was associated with QTc interval prolongation in this study, and SEM delineated possible causal pathways and inter-relationships of the risk factors contributing to the occurrence of QTc prolongation among Chinese male steelworkers.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the correlation between triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and coronary artery disease (CAD) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and identify the risk associated TyG index in different subgroups.A total of 1665 eligible inpatients (CAD with T2DM group [n = 680], non-coronary artery disease without T2DM [n = 985]) were consecutively enrolled in this study. They were assigned into 4 subgroups: middle-aged, elderly, male, and female subgroups. Receiver operating characteristic curve diagnostic test and a logistic regression model was established to analyze the risk factors for CAD with T2DM.TyG index is an independent risk factor for patients with CAD with T2DM. The risk of increased TyG index is greater in the middle-aged and male subgroups than in the elderly and female subgroups, respectively (all P < .05). The specificity and the positive predictive value of the TyG index is greater than the sensitivity and the negative predictive value, respectively (all P < .05).Increased TyG index is a new independent risk factor for CAD with T2DM, and its risk is higher in the middle-aged and male subgroups than in the elderly and female subgroups, respectively. TyG index may be used as a clinical predictor of CAD with T2DM.

Anthropometric variables were recorded, together with pubertal stage, blood pressure and body composition assessed by bioimpedance. The TyG index was calculated as ln (fasting glucose (mg/dL)×triglycerides (mg/dL))/2 and the HOMA (homeostatic model assessment) index as fasting insulin (μU/mL)×fasting glucose (mmol/L)/22.5. Feeding habits were documented by adherence to the Mediterranean dietary pattern questionnaire, while physical activity was assessed using the International Sedentary Assessment Tool (ISAT), as well as accelerometry (Actigraph wGT3X+). RESULTS The mean TyG index was 4.45±0.18, and proved higher in the pubertal group. We found a positive correlation with the HOMA index (r=0.39; P=.03) and TG/HDL-c index (r=0.53; P<.001). The best cut-off point of the TyG index for predicting insulin resistance was 4.21 in prepubertal children (sensitivity 84%, specificity 100%; AUC: 0.84) and 4.33 in pubertal children (sensitivity 89%, specificity 69%; AUC: 0.61). A positive correlation was found with screen time (r=0.39; P=.01), as well as a negative correlation with caloric expenditure (Kcal/day) in the prepubertal group (r=-0.81; P=.005). CONCLUSIONS The TyG index could be a useful insulin resistance marker in the pediatric population. Moderate to vigorous physical activity should be encouraged, as well as restricting screen time for leisure purposes, mainly in the prepubertal group.

Abstract
Aim:
To evaluate the prognostic value of triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index in nondiabetic patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) below 1.8 mmol/L.
Methods:
A total of 1655 nondiabetic patients with ACS with LDL-C below 1.8 mmol/L were included in the analysis. Patients were stratified into two groups. The incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), infarct size in patients with AMI, and major adverse cardiac and cerebral event during a median of 35.6-month follow-up were determined and compared between the two groups. The TyG index was calculated using the following formula: ln [fasting triglycerides (mg/dL)×fasting plasma glucose (mg/dL)/2].
Results:
Compared with the TyG index <8.33 group, the TyG index ≥ 8.33 group had a significantly higher incidence of AMI (21.2% vs. 15.2%,
p
=0.014) and larger infarct size in patients with AMI [the peak value of troponin I: 10.4 vs. 4.8 ng/ml,
p
=0.003; the peak value of Creatine kinase MB: 52.8 vs. 22.0 ng/ml,
p
=0.006; the peak value of myoglobin: 73.7 vs. 46.0 ng/ml,
p
=0.038]. Although there was no significant difference in mortality between the two groups, the incidence of revascularization of the TyG index ≥ 8.33 group was significantly higher than that of the TyG index <8.33 group (8.9% vs. 5.0%,
p
=0.035). A multivariable Cox regression revealed that the TyG index was positively associated with revascularization [hazard ratio, 1.67; 95% confidence interval, 1.02–2.75;
p
=0.043].
Conclusions:
In nondiabetic patients with ACS with LDL-C below 1.8 mmol/L, a high TyG index level was associated with higher incidence of AMI, larger infarct size, and higher incidence of revascularization. A high TyG index level might be a valid predictor of subsequent revascularization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasingly becoming a major health burden. Due to the difficulty of liver biopsy, there is no reliable indicator to evaluate the outcomes of NAFLD. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a simple and convenient marker of insulin resistance for use in medical practice. Whether the TyG index is predictive of later risk of NAFLD remains unknown. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship between TyG index with NAFLD progression and improvement during a median follow-up period of 21 months. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 11,424 subjects (9327 men) diagnosed with NAFLD were included. The TyG index was calculated as follows: ln [fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) * fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was applied to analyze the data. RESULTS In this study, the severity of NAFLD remained the same in 38.8% of subjects, worsened in 17.4% of subjects, and improved in 43.8% of subjects. Compared with the lowest quartile of the TyG index, the adjusted HR of NAFLD progression in the highest quartile (TyG≥9.34) was 1.448 (1.229 to 1.706), and the adjusted HR of NAFLD improvement was 0.817 (0.723 to 0.923). Subgroup analysis found that smoking increased the correlation between the TyG index and the risk of NAFLD progression, while female, vegan diet, and weight control enhanced the correlation between the TyG index and the risk of NAFLD improvement. CONCLUSION The TyG index may be a simple and helpful indicator for further risk appraisal of NAFLD in daily clinical practice.

Abstract
Aims To explore the relationship between TyG index, diabetic retinopathy (DR) and nephropathy. Methods This was a cross-sectional observational study that examined 1413 subjects with type 2 diabetes (both known and newly diagnosed). Subjects underwent a detailed standard evaluation to detect diabetic retinopathy (fundus photography) and nephropathy (defined as urinary albumin excretion ≥ 30 mg/24 h). The TyG index was calculated as ln (fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2) and stratified into 4 quartiles (TyG-Q). The baseline characteristics of the study population in the four TyG-Q (Q1 (≤7.3) n = 349, Q2 (>7.3 to ≤ 7.5) n = 358, Q3 (>7.5 to ≤ 8.0) n = 354, and Q4 (>8.0) n = 352) were analysed. Variables associated with the presence of DR and nephropathy were assessed using a stepwise binary logistic regression analysis. Results The presence of DR was associated with higher TyG index (OR = 1.453, P =.001) and longer duration of diabetes (OR = 1.085, P < .001). The presence of nephropathy was associated with a higher TyG index (OR = 1.703, P < .001), greater age (OR = 1.031, P < .001), use of insulin (OR = 1.842, P = .033), higher systolic BP (OR = 1.015, P < .001), and the presence of DR (OR = 3.052, P < .001). Higher TyG-Q correlated with the severity of DR (P = .024), presence of nephropathy (P = .001), age (P < .001) and diastolic blood pressure (P = .006). Conclusions A higher TyG index is associated with the presence of retinopathy and nephropathy in individuals with diabetes and could be used for monitoring metabolic status in clinical settings.

Abstract
Background/aim High levels of triglyceride (TG) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) values increase atherosclerosis risk. This study evaluates the relationship between peripheral artery disease (PAD) severity and complexity, as assessed by TransAtlantic InterSociety Consensus-II (TASC-II) classification and the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index. Materials and methods A total of 71 consecutive patients with PAD (males 93%, mean age 63.3 ± 9.7), who underwent percutaneous peripheral intervention were included retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups according to the angiographically detected lesions. Those with TASC A-B lesions were included in Group 1, and those with TASC C-D lesions were included in Group 2. TyG index was calculated as formula: ln[fasting TG (mg/dL) × fasting plasma glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Results There were 40 patients in Group 1 (90.3% men, with a mean age of 63.6 ± 9.3 years) and 31 patients in Group 2 (96.8% men, with a mean age of 62.0 ± 8.6 years). In the majority of patients in both groups, the target vessels are iliac arteries and femoral arteries. In Group 2, platelet count and TyG index were significantly high, according to Group 1. The TyG index was significantly correlated with TASC-II, Rutherford category, HbA1c, and HDL-C. Conclusion In this present study, we showed that the TyG index was an independent predictor of peripheral artery disease complexity, according to TASC-II classification, for the first time in the literature.

Abstract
Insulin resistance (IR) in childhood plays a key role in the development of metabolic changes in adulthood, therefore, it is important to diagnose it early. We aimed to investigate studies that evaluated the TyG index for prediction of IR risk and other cardiometabolic risk factors, as well as, the proposed cutoff points in childhood and adolescence. This is a systematic review elaborated according to the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA). The search was performed in Lilacs, PubMed and CAPES Journal Portal, using the terms "TyG index OR triglyceride-glucose index OR triglyceride and glucose index AND children OR adolescent*". Eight articles were included in this review. All were cross-sectional studies with individuals aged ≥2 and ≤20 years old, from the United States, Korea, Mexico, Brazil, and Iran. We concluded that the TyG index was positively associated with other IR prediction methods and appears to be advantageous for predicting IR risk and other cardiometabolic risk factors in children and adolescents (review registration: PROSPERO CRD42018100726).

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine whether the triglycerides and glucose (TyG) index is associated with the presence of metabolically obese normal-weight (MONW) phenotype and related cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS Apparently healthy men and non-pregnant women aged 20-65 years were enrolled in a population-based cross-sectional study. Overweight, obesity, smoking, alcohol consumption, pregnancy, diagnosis of hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, renal disease, malignancy, and medical treatment were exclusion criteria. Subjects were allocated into the MONW or normal-weight groups. MONW phenotype was defined by normal weight and the presence of at least one of the following cardiovascular risk factors: elevated blood pressure, hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and low HDL cholesterol. RESULTS A total of 542 subjects were enrolled and allocated into the MONW (n = 354) and normal-weight (n = 188) groups. The adjusted logistic regression analysis showed that the elevated TyG index is significantly associated with the presence of MONW phenotype (OR = 11.14; 95% CI 6.04-20.57), hyperglycemia (OR = 3.18; 95% CI 1.95-5.21), hypertriglyceridemia (OR = 399.19; 95% CI 94.01-1694.98), and low HDL-C (OR = 2.60; 95% CI 1.74-3.87), but not with elevated blood pressure (OR = 1.55; 95% CI 0.93-2.60). CONCLUSION Results of this study support that the TyG index may be a useful indicator to detect MONW phenotype and associated cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To propose cut-off points for the TAG-glucose (TyG) index in Brazilian children and evaluate the link to cardiometabolic risk. DESIGN A cross-sectional study with children from a municipality in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Anthropometric (weight, height, waist circumference and waist:height ratio), biochemical (lipid and glucose profile) and blood pressure (BP) tests were performed. Using the receiver operating characteristic curve, cut-off points for the TyG index were proposed according to sex using homoeostasis model of assessment - insulin resistance (IR) as the reference method. SETTING Viçosa, MG, Brazil. PARTICIPANTS Children aged 4-9 years (n 515). RESULTS The TyG index cut-off points to identify the risk of IR were 7·9 and 8·1 for boys and girls, respectively. We observed that 48·7 % of the children had an increased TyG index. The increased TyG index was associated with overweight, total body and central fat, increased BP and altered lipid profile. Children with an increased TyG index had a higher accumulation of cardiometabolic risk factors. CONCLUSIONS According to the cut-off points proposed by the current study, children at risk of IR estimated by the TyG index presented a higher cardiometabolic risk, including isolated risk factors, as to the higher accumulation of these.

Triglyceride-glucose index predicts adverse cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes and acute coronary syndrome. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2020; 19:80.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) has been regarded as a reliable alternative marker of insulin resistance and an independent predictor of cardiovascular outcomes. Whether the TyG index predicts adverse cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of the TyG index in patients with diabetes and ACS. METHODS A total of 2531 consecutive patients with diabetes who underwent coronary angiography for ACS were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into tertiles according to their TyG index. The primary outcomes included the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), defined as all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction and non-fatal stroke. The TyG index was calculated as the ln (fasting triglyceride level [mg/dL] × fasting glucose level [mg/dL]/2). RESULTS The incidence of MACE increased with TyG index tertiles at a 3-year follow-up. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed significant differences in event-free survival rates among TyG index tertiles (P = 0.005). Multivariate Cox hazards regression analysis revealed that the TyG index was an independent predictor of MACE (95% CI 1.201-1.746; P < 0.001). The optimal TyG index cut-off for predicting MACE was 9.323 (sensitivity 46.0%; specificity 63.6%; area under the curve 0.560; P = 0.001). Furthermore, adding the TyG index to the prognostic model for MACE improved the C-statistic value (P = 0.010), the integrated discrimination improvement value (P = 0.001) and the net reclassification improvement value (P = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS The TyG index predicts future MACE in patients with diabetes and ACS independently of known cardiovascular risk factors, suggesting that the TyG index may be a useful marker for risk stratification and prognosis in patients with diabetes and ACS.

High triglyceride-glucose index is associated with poor prognosis in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2019; 18:150. [PMID: 31722708 PMCID: PMC6852896 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-019-0957-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 155] [Impact Index Per Article: 31.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2019] [Accepted: 10/28/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Insulin resistance (IR) is considered a pivotal risk factor for cardiometabolic diseases, and the triglyceride–glucose index (TyG index) has emerged as a reliable surrogate marker of IR. Although several recent studies have shown the association of the TyG index with vascular disease, no studies have further investigated the role of the TyG index in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The objective of the present study was to evaluate the potential role of the TyG index as a predictor of prognosis in STEMI patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods The study included 1092 STEMI patients who underwent PCI. The patients were divided into 4 quartiles according to TyG index levels. Clinical characteristics, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), triglycerides (TGs), other biochemical parameters, and the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCEs) during the follow-up period were recorded. The TyG index was calculated using the following formula: ln[fasting TGs (mg/dL) × FPG (mg/dL)/2]. Results The incidence of MACCEs and all-cause mortality within 30 days, 6 months and 1 year after PCI were higher among STEMI patients with TyG index levels in the highest quartile. The TyG index was significantly associated with an increased risk of MACCEs in STEMI patients within 1 year after PCI, independent of confounding factors, with a value of 1.529 (95% CI 1.001–2.061; P = 0.003) for those in the highest quartile. The area under the curve (AUC) of the TyG index predicting the occurrence of MACCEs in STEMI patients after PCI was 0.685 (95% CI 0.610–0.761; P = 0.001). The results also revealed that Killip class > 1, anaemia, albumin, uric acid, number of stents and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were independent predictors of MACCEs in STEMI patients after PCI (all P < 0.05). Conclusions This study indicated an association between higher TyG index levels and increased risk of MACCEs in STEMI patients for the first time, and the TyG index might be a valid predictor of clinical outcomes in STEMI patients undergoing PCI.
