Relationship between triglyceride-glucose index and carotid artery plaques in ischemic stroke patients: Based on blood pressure status, sex, and age. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2024; 33:107992. [PMID: 39236783 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2024.107992] [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: 03/30/2024] [Revised: 08/28/2024] [Accepted: 09/02/2024] [Indexed: 09/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous studies have shown that the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a reliable substitute marker for insulin resistance. Nevertheless, its correlation with carotid artery plaques (CAPs) among patients with ischemic stroke (IS) remains to be elucidated. METHODS 9248 IS patients hospitalized at the First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were grouped according to the quartiles of TyG index. Patients were further stratified by blood pressure status, sex, age and hypertension control status. Employing logistic regression to examine the connection between the TyG index and CAPs.Additionally, analyzing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to evaluate the predictive value of the TyG index for CAPs. RESULTS Participants with an elevated TyG index had an increased prevalence of CAPs. The TyG index was positively correlated with CAPs (OR: 1.26, CI: 1.14-1.40, P<0.001). Compared with normal blood pressure and prehypertensive patients, the TyG index was markedly correlated with CAPs among hypertensive patients (OR: 1.29, 95% CI: 1.15-1.44, P<0.001). Females had a higher OR value than males(OR: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.11-1.54, P=0.001 versus OR: 1.24, 95% CI: 1.09-1.41, P=0.001). Older patients (>60 years) had a higher OR value than their middle-aged counterparts (≤60 years) (OR: 1.35; 95% CI: 1.16-1.58, P<0.001 versus OR: 1.20; 95% CI: 1.05-1.37, P=0.007). Patients with poorly-controlled hypertension had a higher OR value than patients with well-controlled hypertension(OR: 1.36; 95% CI: 1.14-1.63, P=0.001 versus OR: 1.24; 95% CI: 1.07-1.44, P=0.003). After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) value in the overall population, sex-stratified group, hypertensive patients and hypertension control status-stratified group were all above 0.7 (P<0.01), demonstrating good forecasting capability. CONCLUSIONS In IS patients, the TyG index was significantly associated with CAPs. Additionally, this correlation was more pronounced in hypertensive patients, females, older individuals and patients with poorly-controlled hypertension.

The synergistic effect of triglyceride-glucose index and HbA1c on blood pressure control in patients with hypertension: a retrospective cohort study. Sci Rep 2024; 14:20038. [PMID: 39198586 PMCID: PMC11358527 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-70213-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Triglyceride-Glucose Index (TyG index) and HbA1c are metabolic risk factors associated with insulin resistance (IR), which have been confirmed to be independently correlated with the incidence of hypertension. However, there is limited research specifically focusing on the interaction between these two metabolic risk factors in hypertensive populations. Currently, it remains unclear how the metabolic indicators TyG index and HbA1c affect BP control in individuals with hypertension. This study aims to investigate the value and interaction of TyG index and HbA1c in blood pressure (BP) control among hypertensive patients. The results are conducive to enhancing the effectiveness of clinical BP control for individuals with hypertension. This cohort study included 99,336 adults diagnosed with hypertension. Participants were grouped according to the median of TyG index and HbA1c. The main endpoint is inadequate BP control. Multivariable-adjusted risk ratios and multivariable Cox regression analysis were used to represent the relationship between BP control levels and metabolic risk factors. Finally, we evaluated the interaction between TyG index and HbA1c in the population with inadequate BP control. This study confirmed that TyG index and HbA1c, as metabolic risk factors, are independently associated with poor BP control (P < 0.05). In multivariable Cox regression analysis, it was found that TyG index and HbA1c were significantly associated with poor BP control. In the male elderly population, HbA1c was significantly associated with poor BP control (P = 0.029).

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and newly diagnosed branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) in patients. METHODS The study included 57 individuals with BRVO and a control group comprising 50 healthy volunteers matched for age and gender. Detailed eye examinations were conducted, and various blood biochemistry and hematological parameters were recorded. The TyG index was calculated using fasting plasma glucose and triglyceride values. RESULTS The mean age was 61.4 ± 9.6 years for the BRVO group and 60.6 ± 10.3 years for the control group. The TyG values were significantly higher in the BRVO group when compared to the control group (8.84 ± 0.41 vs. 8.52 ± 0.29, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that the TyG index independently predicted BRVO (odds ratio = 2.58, 95% confidence interval = 1.69-3.93; p < 0.001). In receiver operating characteristics analysis, the TyG index had an area under the curve of 0.749, and a TyG index higher than 8.52 predicted BRVO with 83% sensitivity and 70% specificity. CONCLUSIONS This study establishes a significant association between an elevated TyG index and BRVO. Consequently, the TyG index could serve as a valuable predictive tool for identifying individuals at risk for BRVO.

Abstract
This study assessed the association between atherosclerosis indices, serum uric acid to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR) and triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the prevalence of hypertension among MASHAD cohort participants. In this cross-sectional study, the participants were divided into hypertensive and non-hypertensive subjects. The atherosclerosis indices, UHR and TyG index of the two groups were compared. Logistic regression analyses were used to determine the associations of these indices with hypertension in both sex. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to establish the cut-off values for differentiating hypertensive from non-hypertensive subjects. p-values < .05 were considered statistically significant. Data related to 9675 subjects (3035 hypertensive and 6640 non-hypertensive) were analyzed. The mean values of atherosclerosis indices, UHR and TyG index were significantly higher (p < .001) in the hypertensives compared to non-hypertensives. After adjustment for potential confounders, among men, the TyG index (OR = 1.360; 95% CI: 1.210-1.530; p < .001) remained an independent factor for hypertension. Among women, atherogenic index of plasma (OR = 1.005; 95% CI: 1.002-1.007; p < .001), UHR (OR = 1.043; 95% CI: 1.026-1.060; p < .001) and TyG index (OR = 1.519; 95% CI: 1.376-1.677; p < .001) remained independent factors for hypertension. ROC curve analysis revealed that compare to the other indices, TyG index had a better predictive value for hypertension in both sex, especially in women.

Triglyceride-glucose index is an independent predictor of coronary artery calcification progression in patients with chronic kidney disease. Kidney Res Clin Pract 2024; 43:381-390. [PMID: 38738273 PMCID: PMC11181041 DOI: 10.23876/j.krcp.23.264] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with major adverse cardiovascular events and metabolic disturbances. The triglyceride-glucose index (TyGI), a novel surrogate marker of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, is associated with CAC in the general population and in patients with diabetes. This study investigated the association between the TyGI and CAC progression in patients with CKD, which is unknown. METHODS A total of 1,154 patients with CKD (grades 1-5; age, 52.8 ± 11.9 years; male, 688 [59.6%]) were enrolled from the KNOWCKD (KoreaN Cohort Study for Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease). The TyGI was calculated as follows: ln (fasting triglycerides × fasting glucose/2). Patients were classified into tertiles (low, intermediate, high) based on the TyGI. The primary outcome was annualized percentage change in CAC score [(percent change in CAC score + 1)12/follow-up months - 1] of ≥15%, defined as CAC progression. RESULTS During the 4-year follow-up, the percentage of patients with CAC progression increased across TyGI groups (28.6%, 37.5%, and 46.2% in low, intermediate, and high groups, respectively; p < 0.001). A high TyGI was associated with an increased risk of CAC progression (odds ratio [OR], 2.11; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.14-3.88; p = 0.02) compared to the low group. Moreover, a 1-point increase in the TyGI was related to increased risk of CAC progression (OR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.06-1.76; p = 0.02) after adjustment. CONCLUSION A high TyGI may be a useful predictor of CAC progression in CKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride and glucose (TyG) index, a simple surrogate marker of insulin resistance, is related to cardiovascular disease. However, there is a lack of evidence for the relationship between the TyG index and chest pain. This study aimed to investigate the association of the TyG index with chest pain and to evaluate the relationship between the TyG index and all-cause mortality in participants with or without chest pain. METHODS The present study utilized data from the 2001-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), employing a combination of cross-sectional and cohort study designs. The association between the TyG index and chest pain was investigated using weighted logistic regression models. Weighted Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for all-cause mortality. Restricted cubic spline analysis was used to explore linear or nonlinear relationships between the TyG index and chest pain or all-cause mortality. RESULTS The findings revealed a positive correlation between the TyG index and chest pain, even after adjusting for potential confounding factors (quartile 4 versus quartile 1, odds ratio [OR] 1.42, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14-1.77, P = 0.002). During a mean follow-up time of 139 months, a total of 2286 individuals (27.43%) experienced mortality. Weighted multivariate Cox regression models indicated that for each one-unit increase in the TyG index, the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for mortality was 1.14 (95% CI = 0.94-1.37) for participants with chest pain and 1.25 (95% CI = 1.09-1.43) for those without chest pain. Furthermore, restricted cubic spline analysis revealed a linear relationship between the TyG index and chest pain (P for nonlinearity = 0.902), whereas a nonlinear relationship was shown between the TyG index and all-cause mortality among populations regardless of chest pain (all P for nonlinearity < 0.01). CONCLUSION The TyG index was positively linked to a higher incidence of chest pain. Moreover, the TyG index was associated with all-cause mortality not only in participants with chest pain but also in those without chest pain.

Abstract
Background The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is an effective method for determining insulin resistance (IR). Limited research has explored the connection between the TyG index and functionally significant stenosis in hypertensive patients. Furthermore, the connections between the TyG index, fat attenuation index (FAI) and atherosclerotic plaque characteristics are also worth exploring. Methods The study screened 1622 hypertensive participants without coronary artery disease history who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography. The TyG index was calculated as ln (fasting glucose [mg/dL] * fasting TG [mg/dL]/2). Adverse plaque characteristics (HRPCs), high-risk plaques (HRPs), FAI, and CT-derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) were analyzed and measured for all patients. Functionally significant stenosis causing ischemia is defined as FFRCT ≤ 0.80. Two patient groups were created based on the FFRCT: the FFRCT < 0.80 group and the FFRCT > 0.80 group. In hypertensive patients, the association between the TyG index and FFRCT was examined applying a logistic regression model. Results The TyG index was higher for people with FFRCT ≤ 0.80 contrast to those with FFRCT > 0.80. After controlling for additional confounding factors, the logistic regression model revealed a clear connection between the TyG index and FFRCT ≤ 0.80 (OR = 1.718, 95% CI 1.097-2.690, p = 0.018). The restricted cubic spline analysis displayed a nonlinear connection between the TyG index and FFRCT ≤ 0.80 (p for nonlinear = 0.001). The TyG index increased the fraction of individuals with HRPs and HRPCs, FAI raised, and FFRCT decreased (p < 0.05). The multivariate linear regression analysis illustrated a powerfulcorrelation between high TyG index levels and FAI, FFRCT, positive remodeling (PR), and low-attenuation plaque (LAPs) (standardized regression coefficients: 0.029 [p = 0.007], -0.051 [p < 0.001], 0.029 [p = 0.027], and 0.026 [p = 0.046], separately). Conclusion In hypertensive patients, the TyG index showed an excellent association with a risk of FFRCT ≤ 0.80. Additionally, the TyG index was also linked to FAI, FFRCT, PR, and LAPs.

Abstract
AIM Insulin resistance (IR) may participate in the pathogenesis of hypertension by mediating low-grade systemic inflammation. The triglycerides-glucose (TyG) index has recently been suggested as a reliable alternative biochemical marker of IR compared with traditional methods. Herein, we speculated TyG index may also be associated with hypertension. METHODS Data of adults were extracted from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) in 2009-2015 in this retrospective cohort study. The TyG index was calculated using the formula: TyG = Ln [fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) ×fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Associations between TyG index and hypertension were evaluated by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses with odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup analyses of age and gender were also performed. In addition, we assessed the interaction effect between TyG index and body mass index (BMI) on hypertension in participants with different age and gender. RESULTS Among 3,413 eligible participants, 1,627 (47.67%) developed hypertension. The average TyG index in hypertension group and non-hypertension group was 8.58 and 8.39 respectively. After adjusting for covariates, we found that compared with participants with TyG index ≤ 8.41 (median value), those who had higher TyG index seemed to have higher odds of hypertension [OR = 1.17, 95%CI: (1.01-1.37)]. Similarly, this association was also discovered in participants who aged ≤ 65 years old [OR = 1.19, 95%CI: (1.01-1.39)] or were female [OR = 1.35, 95%CI: (1.10-1.65)]. Additionally, there was a potential additive interaction effect between obesity and TyG index on hypertension. CONCLUSION High TyG index was associated with high odds of hypertension in general population in China, but the causal relationship between them needed further exploration.

A higher TyG index level is more likely to have enhanced incidence of T2DM and HTN comorbidity in elderly Chinese people: a prospective observational study from the reaction study. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2024; 16:29. [PMID: 38287450 PMCID: PMC10826216 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-024-01258-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/31/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Triglyceride glucose index (TyG index) was related with both type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and hypertension (HTN). Prospective studies linking the TyG index to the incidence of T2DM and HTN comorbidity remain unclear. This study aimed to to explore the longitudinal association between TyG and new-onset T2DM with HTN. METHODS 4,434 subjects (1249 males and 3185 females) without initial T2DM and HTN were followed up for 7 years. This study was conducted from November 2011 to August 2018 in the Gucheng, Laoshan and Jinding communities of Beijing. The incidence of T2DM with HTN during the 7-year follow-up was identified as the endpoint. The TyG index was divided into four quartiles: the < 25% level, the 25-50% level, the 50-75% level and the ≥ 75% level. The relationships between the TyG index and T2DM with HTN were evaluated by Cox proportional hazards regression models. RESULTS During 7 years, the augmented trend of T2DM with HTN was observed in the participants. After adjusting for all confounding factors, compared with those in the lowest quartile of TyG index, the population in the highest quartile of TyG index had a higher risk of T2DM with HTN (hazard ratio (HR), 2.878; 95% confidence intervals (95% CI), 1.230-6.731, P = 0.015), however, the association remained significant only in the female population (HR 2.753, 95% CI, 1.061-7.139, p = 0.037). The TyG had superior predictive ability of increased risk of T2DM with HTN for the populations of older age (≥ 65 years) (HR 2.694, 95% CI 1.212-5.989, p = 0.015), higher eGFR (≥ 90 mL/(min·1.73 m2)) (HR 2.603, 95% CI 1.164-5.818, p = 0.020) or obesity (BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2) (HR 2.547, 95% CI 1.001-6.478, p = 0.020). CONCLUSION A population with a higher TyG index level was more likely to have an enhanced incidence of T2DM and HTN comorbidity. TyG index could have the significance of clinical in early protection against T2DM with HTN.

Abstract
Triglyceride glucose index (TyG) and waist circumstance have been well documented to be highly correlated with hypertension. However, the joint effect of waist circumstance and TyG on the risk of hypertension is unknown in middle-aged and elderly Chinese adults. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between TyG and the risk of new-onset hypertension in middle-aged and elderly Chinese individuals with different waist circumstances. The multicentred prospective cohort study was conducted in 28 provinces of China including a total of 5865 eligible participants aged ≥ 45 years old. Cox regression was performed to examine the relationship of TyG index and hypertension with adjustments for the pertinent variables. Besides, the relationship was explored in different groups on the basis of waist circumstance. There was no significant correlation between TyG index and new-onset hypertension after adjustment for pertinent variables (hazards ratio [HR]: 0.99; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.80-1.24). When the association was explored in different waist circumstance groups, multivariate cox regression analyses revealed that TyG was an independent factor positively associated with the risk of hypertension in central obesity prophase group (HR: 1.57; 95% CI 1.13-2.16). Among individuals with central obesity, relative to population with lower TyG (Q1: 4.96-8.18), people who had higher TyG (Q3: 8.52-8.95; Q4: 8.95-12.14) were associated with significantly lower HR for hypertension. There was no conspicuous correlation between TyG index with new-onset hypertension in normal waist circumstance (HR: 1.05; 95% CI 0.84-1.30). The research demonstrated the positive relationship of TyG with risk of hypertension among individuals with central obesity prophase, negative relationship of TyG with hypertension among population with central obesity and inconspicuous correlation of TyG with hypertension among individuals with normal waist. In conclusion, the study findings supported the combined effects of TyG index and waist circumference in predicting hypertension in middle-aged and elderly Chinese individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been proposed as a surrogate marker of insulin resistance. However, the relationship between the TyG index and central blood pressure (BP), has not been well studied in adults. METHODS A total of 715 Chinese adult participants were enrolled in this study. Anthropometric and BP were assessed. The TyG index was calculated as ln[fasting triglycerides(mg/dL) × fasting glucose(mg/dL)/2]. Central BP was measured using SphygmoCor system. RESULTS The participants were stratified into three groups based on the TyG index, and significant differences were observed in metabolic and cardiovascular parameters and the prevalence of hypertension among the groups. Both brachial (β = 1.38, P = 0.0310; group highest vs. lowest, β = 2.66, P = 0.0084) and aortic (β = 2.38, P = 0.0002; group highest vs. lowest, β = 3.96, P = 0.0001) diastolic BP were significantly and independently associated with the TyG index and increasing TyG index tertile. However, there was no independent association between the TyG index and systolic BP. A one-unit increase in the TyG index was associated with a 46% higher risk of hypertension (P = 0.0121), and compared with the lowest group, participants in the highest group had a 95% higher risk of hypertension (P = 0.0057). CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates a significant and independent association between the TyG index and both brachial and aortic diastolic BP in Chinese adults. Furthermore, the TyG index was found to be an independent predictor of hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride and glucose (TyG) index has been found to be significantly associated with a higher risk of mortality. However, there has been a lack of studies exploring the specific relationship between the TyG index and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among middle-aged and elderly with hypertension. METHODS A total of 3,614 participants with hypertension were enrolled from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The TyG index was calculated using the formula log [fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) x fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. The Cox proportional hazard ratios were used to evaluate the association between the TyG index and the risk of mortality. RESULTS Over a follow-up period of 7.87 years, 991 all-cause death and 189 cardiovascular deaths occurred. Compared with the reference quartile, the multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals were 1.28 (1.07-1.53; p = .006) in the fourth quartile for all-cause mortality and 0.63 (0.42-0.96; p = .031) in the second quartile for cardiovascular mortality. Dose-response analysis indicated an L-shaped relationship. CONCLUSIONS The TyG index exhibited an L-shaped association with the risk of all-cause mortality among middle-aged and elderly with hypertension.

Temporal relationship between triglyceride-glucose index and blood pressure and their joint cumulative effect on cardiovascular disease risk: a longitudinal cohort study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:332. [PMID: 38017521 PMCID: PMC10685547 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-02058-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Concurrent insulin resistance and elevated blood pressure are commonly observed in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and have long been proposed to contribute to CVD. However, the temporal relationship between them and the effect of their cumulative co-exposure on future incident CVD remains unclear. METHODS Longitudinal analysis of data on 57,192 participants from a real-world, prospective cohort study (Kailuan Study) was performed to address the temporal relationship between Triglyceride-Glucose Index (TyG, calculated as ln [TG (mg/dL) × FBG (mg/dL)/2]) and blood pressure (BP) assessed by cross-lagged analyses in an approximately 4-year exposure period (2006/2007 to 2010/2011). After excluding 879 participants with known diabetes, 56,313 nonCVD participants were included for further analysis of the CVD outcome. Cox regression models were used to examine the hazard ratios (HRs) upon the cumulative TyG (CumTyG) and BP(CumBP) in the exposure period. RESULTS The standard regression coefficient from baseline TyG to follow-up systolic BP was 0.0142 (95% CI 0.0059-0.0226), which was greater than the standard regression coefficient from baseline systolic BP to follow-up TyG (- 0.0390; 95% CI - 0.0469 to - 0.0311). The same results were observed in the cross-lag between TyG and diastolic blood pressure [0.0271 (0.0185 to 0.0356) vs. - 0.0372 (- 0.0451 to - 0.0293)]. During a median follow-up of 9.98 years, 3981 CVD cases occurred. Significant interactions were observed between the median CumTyG (8.61) and CumSBP thresholds (130, 140 mmHg) (P = 0.0149), the median CumTyG (8.61) and CumDBP thresholds (80, 90 mmHg) (P = 0.0441). Compared to CumTyG < 8.61 and CumSBP < 130 mmHg, after adjusting for potential confounding factors, the HR gradually increased in the high co-exposure groups. The hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for Q2-Q6 were 1.39 (1.24, 1.57), 1.94 (1.69, 2.22), 2.40 (2.12, 2.71), 2.74 (2.43, 3.10), and 3.07 (2.74, 3.45). Additionally, the CVD risks in the co-exposure were more prominent in younger participants. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that elevated TyG has a greater impact on future blood pressure changes than vice versa. Dual assessment and management of insulin resistance and blood pressure contribute to the prevention of CVD, especially in younger individuals.

Combination of the triglyceride-glucose index and EuroSCORE II improves the prediction of long-term adverse outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Diabetes Metab Res Rev 2023; 39:e3710. [PMID: 37537868 DOI: 10.1002/dmrr.3710] [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: 12/14/2022] [Revised: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/05/2023]
Abstract
AIMS We aimed to investigate the independent and combined association of the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and EuroSCORE II with major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and examine whether the addition of the TyG index improves the predictive performance of the EuroSCORE II. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 1013 patients who underwent CABG. The primary endpoint was MACE, which was defined as the composite of all-cause death, repeat coronary artery revascularisation, non-fatal myocardial infarction and non-fatal stroke. The patients were grouped by the TyG index and EuroSCORE II tertiles and the combination of these risk indicators. RESULTS During the follow-up, 211 individuals developed MACE. Elevated levels of the TyG index and EuroSCORE II were associated with an increased risk of MACE. The hazard ratio [95% confidence interval (CI)] was 3.66 (2.34-5.73) in patients with the highest tertile of the TyG index and EuroSCORE II. Compared with the EuroSCORE II alone, combining the TyG index with EuroSCORE II achieved a better predictive performance [C-statistic increased 0.032, p < 0.001; continuous net reclassification improvement (NRI) (95% CI): 0.364 (0.215-0.514), p < 0.001; integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) (95% CI): 0.015 (0.007-0.023), p < 0.001, Akaike's information criteria (AIC) and Bayesian information criterion (BIC) decreased, and the likelihood ratio test, p < 0.001]. CONCLUSIONS The TyG index and EuroSCORE II are independently associated with poor prognosis. Furthermore, the TyG index is an important adjunct to the EuroSCORE II for improving risk stratification and guiding early intervention among post-CABG patients.

Abstract
Background Triglyceride and glucose (TyG) index and TyG-related indices combined with obesity-related markers are considered important markers of insulin resistance. We aimed to examine the association between the TyG index and modified TyG indices with new-onset hypertension and their predictive ability stratified by sex. Methods and Results We analyzed data from 5414 Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study participants aged 40 to 69 years. Multiple Cox proportional hazard regression analyses were conducted to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% CI for new-onset hypertension according to sex-specific tertile groups after confounder adjustments. To evaluate the predictive performance of these indices for new-onset hypertension, we calculated Harrell's C-index (95% CI). Over a 9.5-year follow-up period, 1014 men and 1012 women developed new-onset hypertension. Compared with the lowest tertile (T) group, the adjusted HR and 95% CI for new-onset hypertension in T3 for TyG, TyG-body mass index, TyG-waist circumference, and TyG-waist-to-height ratio were 1.16 (0.95-1.40), 1.11 (0.84-1.48), 1.77 (1.38-2.27), and 1.68 (1.33-2.13) in men and 1.37 (1.13-1.66), 1.55 (1.16-2.06), 1.43 (1.15-1.79), and 1.64 (1.30-2.07) in women, respectively. The C-indices of TyG-waist-to-height ratio for new-onset hypertension were significantly higher than those of TyG and TyG-body mass index in both men and women. Conclusions TyG and TyG-body mass index were significantly associated with new-onset hypertension only in women. TyG-waist circumference and TyG-waist-to-height ratio were significantly associated with new-onset hypertension in both men and women. A sex-specific approach is required when using TyG and modified TyG indices to identify individuals at risk of incident hypertension.

Wu Z, Xie L, Guo D, Chen S, Liu X, Sun X, Wang J, Zhang Y, Liu L, Cui H, Zang D, Yang J. Triglyceride-glucose index in the prediction of adverse cardiovascular events in patients without diabetes mellitus after coronary artery bypass grafting: a multicenter retrospective cohort study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:230. [PMID: 37649025 PMCID: PMC10470170 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-01969-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been evaluated as a reliable surrogate for insulin resistance (IR) and has been proven to be a predictor of poor outcomes in patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, data are lacking on the relationship of the TyG index with prognosis in nondiabetic patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Thus, the purpose of our current study was to investigate the potential value of the TyG index as a prognostic indicator in patients without diabetes mellitus (DM) after CABG. METHODS This multicenter, retrospective cohort study involving 830 nondiabetic patients after CABG from 3 tertiary public hospitals from 2014 to 2018. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis was conducted followed by the log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to explore the association between the TyG index and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). The incremental predictive power of the TyG index was evaluated with C-statistics, continuous net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI). RESULTS An incrementally higher TyG index was associated with an increasingly higher cumulative incidence of MACEs (log-rank test, p < 0.001). The hazard ratio (95% CI) of MACEs was 2.22 (1.46-3.38) in tertile 3 of the TyG index and 1.38 (1.18-1.62) per SD increase in the TyG index. The addition of the TyG index yielded a significant improvement in the global performance of the baseline model [C-statistic increased from 0.656 to 0.680, p < 0.001; continuous NRI (95% CI) 0.269 (0.100-0.438), p = 0.002; IDI (95% CI) 0.014 (0.003-0.025), p = 0.014]. CONCLUSIONS The TyG index may be an independent factor for predicting adverse cardiovascular events in nondiabetic patients after CABG.

Association between the risk of hypertension and triglyceride glucose index in Chinese regions: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of a regional update. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1242035. [PMID: 37583585 PMCID: PMC10424922 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1242035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been reported to be associated with various cardiovascular diseases in recent years. However, the conclusive association between the TyG index and hypertension was not established in the last meta-analysis. Furthermore, it remains unclear whether a linear relationship exists between these two variables. Methods We conducted a comprehensive search of the CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data, CBM, PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library databases up until May 10, 2023, to identify relevant studies conducted in China. We used Stata version 17.0 and Rstudio version 4.2.1 to analyze the data and assess the association between the TyG index and the risk of hypertension, as well as the dose-response relationship between these two variables. We will select either a random-effects model or a fixed-effects model based on the results of the heterogeneity tests and report 95% confidence intervals accordingly. Results In the end, our analysis encompassed 22 studies involving a total of 668,486 participants, comprising 12 cross-sectional studies and 10 cohort studies. Meta-analysis results showed: Analysis of data from China revealed that an elevated TyG index was associated with a higher risk of developing hypertension, as indicated by an OR/HR of 1.36 [95%CI (1.28-1.45) I2 = 69.0% P < 0.001]. Through meta-regression analysis of multiple covariates, we found that study type, study region, sample size, database source, and study quality score, the above five variables were able to explain 63.0% of the total heterogeneity. The results of the dose-response Meta-analysis showed: The TyG index has a linear relationship with the risk of developing hypertension, as indicated by non-significant coefficients of higher-order terms in the nonlinear model (P > 0.05). The linear trend analysis showed that for every one-unit increase in the TyG index, the risk of developing hypertension increased by 1.5 times [1.532 95%CI (1.294, 1.813) P < 0.001]. However, this result is influenced by the number of studies included in the dose-response analysis and requires further corroboration. Conclusion In the Chinese region, there was an independent association between TyG index and the risk of developing hypertension, with a linear trend. However, the results of the linear trend need to be corrected by the more number of related studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, a metric for estimating insulin resistance (IR), is linked with cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality among the population regardless of diabetic status. However, IR prevalence and the association between the TyG index and heart failure (HF) in Americans is unclear. METHODS The Nation Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2009-2018) dataset was used. IR was defined by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) > 2.0 and 1.5. The TyG index was calculated as Ln [fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. A weighted logistic regression was applied to evaluate the association between the TyG index and the prevalence of HF. RESULTS This study comprised 12,388 people, including 322 (2.6%) individuals with HF. The average prevalence of IR was found to be 13.9% and 22.7% for cutoff values greater than 2.0 and 1.5, respectively. HOMA-IR and the TyG index showed a moderate correlation (r = 0.30). There is a significant positive association between the TyG index and HF prevalence (per 1-unit increment; adjusted OR [aOR]: 1.34; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02-1.76). Patients with higher TyG values were associated with a prevalence of HF (OR:1.41; 95% CI: 1.01,1.95) (quartiles 4 vs 1-3). The TyG index is associated with a higher prevalence of dyslipidemia, coronary heart disease, and hypertension but not a stroke (cerebrovascular disease). CONCLUSIONS Our results show that IR does not considerably increase from 2008 to 2018 in American adults. A moderate correlation is noted between HOMA-IR and the TyG index. TyG index is associated with the prevalence of HF, as were other cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Background: In this study, the main aim was to evaluate the relation of the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index to long-term mortality and proper shock therapy in patients with an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) implanted for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Methods: This retrospective study group consisted of 773 patients treated with ICD for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. The long-term prognostic effect of the TyG index among tertiles was evaluated regarding mortality and appropriate ICD therapy. Results: In the adjusted model, the mortality rates were 14.0% (hazard ratio: 2.24; 95% CI: 1.42-6.88) in tertile 2 and 23.3% (hazard ratio: 3.88; 95% CI: 1.84-14.38) in tertile 3. Conclusion: The TyG index was found to be an independent predictive marker for both long-term mortality and appropriate ICD therapy.

Abstract
Objectives: To assess the associations of the triglyceride and glucose (TyG) index with hypertension stages, phenotypes, and their progressions. Methods: The data originated from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Multinomial logistic regression investigated the associations of the TyG index with hypertension stages (stage 1, stage 2), phenotypes (isolated systolic hypertension [ISH], isolated diastolic hypertension [IDH], systolic diastolic hypertension [SDH]), their progressions. Results: Compared with the lowest quartile of TyG index, the highest quartile was associated with increased risks of stage 1 hypertension (OR 1.71, 95% CI 1.38-2.13), stage 2 (1.74, 1.27-2.38), ISH (1.66, 1.31-2.11), IDH (2.52, 1.26-5.05), and SDH (1.65, 1.23-2.23). Similar results were found when TyG index was a continuous variable. From 2011 to 2015, a higher baseline TyG index was associated with normotension to stage 1 (per-unit: 1.39, 1.16-1.65), normotension to ISH (per-unit: 1.28, 1.04-1.56), and normotension to IDH (per-unit: 1.94, 1.27-2.97). Conclusion: The TyG index was associated with different hypertension stages, phenotypes, their progressions, and could be served as a surrogate indicator for early hypertension management.

Positive association of triglyceride-glucose index with new-onset hypertension among adults: a national cohort study in China. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:58. [PMID: 36927705 PMCID: PMC10022268 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-01795-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies showed that the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index was a better predictor of adverse cardiovascular events than triglycerides or fasting blood glucose alone. However, few studies have focused on new-onset hypertension. We aimed to explore the association of TyG index with new-onset hypertension in Chinese adults. METHODS A total of 4,600 participants who underwent at least 2 rounds of visits from 2009 to 2015 in the China Health and Nutrition Survey were enrolled in this study. Our outcome of interest was new-onset hypertension. Multivariate Cox hazard regression models and restricted cubic spline were performed to explore the relationship between TyG index and new-onset hypertension. RESULTS The mean (standard deviation, SD) age of the study population was 48.1 (13.6) years, and 2058 (44.7%) of the participants were men. The mean (SD) TyG index level was 8.6 (0.7). A total of 1,211 (26.3%) participants developed new-onset hypertension during a median (interquartile range) follow-up duration of 6.0 (2.0-6.1) years. The incidences of new-onset hypertension were 18.1%, 25.3%, 28.5%, and 33.4% by quartiles of TyG index [from quartile 1 (Q1) to Q4], respectively. The Cox model showed that high levels of TyG index were significantly associated with increased risk of new-onset hypertension (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 1.29, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07-1.55, Q2; aHR, 1.24, 95% CI 1.03-1.49, Q3; aHR, 1.50, 95% CI 1.22-1.84, Q4) compared with Q1. Consistently, as a continuous variable, for every 1.0 increase in TyG index, there was a 17% increase in the risk of new-onset hypertension (aHR, 1.17; 95% CI 1.04-1.31). The associations were consistent in various subgroups and sensitivity analysis. The dose-response curve indicated a positive, linear association between TyG index and the risk of new-onset hypertension. CONCLUSIONS High TyG index was significantly associated with an increased risk of new-onset hypertension among Chinese adults. Our findings suggest that maintaining a relatively low level of TyG index might be effective in the primary prevention of hypertension.

Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2023; 33:568-576. [PMID: 36642606 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2022.12.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Revised: 12/02/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM We aimed to investigate the association of triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and its dynamic change with risk of hypertension in rural Chinese and, further, to explore whether the TyG index mediates the obesity-related hypertension. METHODS AND RESULTS A prospective cohort study, including 10,309 subjects without hypertension at baseline, was conducted in 2007-2008 and followed up in 2013-2014. TyG index was calculated as Ln[fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Logistic regression model was used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Mediation analysis was performed to examine the contribution of the TyG index to the association of obesity-hypertension incidence. During a median follow-up of 6 years, 2073 subjects developed hypertension. In multivariate logistic model adjusted for age, sex, alcohol drinking, smoking, physical activity and education, monthly income, family history of hypertension, TC, and HDL-C, the risk of hypertension was 1.14 (1.07-1.22) for per-SD increase in TyG. After additional controlling for obesity, this association was nonsignificant (1.06, 0.99-1.13) and (1.05, 0.99-1.13) for BMI and WC, respectively. Increasing trends were found for hypertension incidence as the TyG change increased, with or without adjustment for obesity (all Ptrend < 0.05). With per-SD increment in TyG change, the risks of hypertension incidence were 1.14 (1.07-1.22) for absolute TyG change, and 1.15 (1.08-1.22) for relative TyG change in multivariate logistic model; the results were significant after further adjustment for BMI or WC, respectively. The TyG index partially mediated the obesity-incident hypertension association: 6.84% for BMI and 6.68% for WC, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Elevated TyG index and its dynamic change were positively associated with risk of incident hypertension in rural Chinese population, and the TyG index may play a partially mediating role in obesity-related incident hypertension.

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
Objective Our purpose was to explore the relationship between triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and the risk of new-onset hypertension in Chinese individuals aged ≥45 years. Methods From 2011 to 2018, data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey (CHARLS) were analyzed. The relationship between TyG index and hypertension was assessed utilizing Cox regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) plot, and the importance of the TyG index in hypertension development was demonstrated by a random forest machine learning model. Finally, subgroup analysis was conducted to test for potential interactions on hypertension development between the TyG index and subgroups. Results 19.7% of the 4755 individuals who were involved in this survey developed hypertension over an average follow-up period of 5.22 years. Compared with the first quartile of albumin, the multivariate HR (95% CI) for the risk of new-onset hypertension across the TyG index quartiles was 1.09 (0.89, 1.33), 1.09 (0.89, 1.33), and 1.29 (1.06, 1.58), respectively (P for trend <0.001). The RCS plot revealed a linear relationship (P for nonlinear = 0.322), and the random forest machine learning model illustrated that the TyG index was a significant hazard factor on hypertension development. There was no interaction between subgroups and the relationships of the TyG index with the prevalence of hypertension (all P-value >0.05). Conclusion TyG index was an independent hazard indicator for new-onset hypertension, and routine measurement and control of TyG index level might be great for preventing hypertension development.

[PMID: 36950677 PMCID: PMC10025371 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1093991] [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: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance (IR) is a normal feature of pregnancy and plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP). The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) has been shown as a simple and reliable alternative IR marker. This work aimed to investigate the association between the TyG index and the incidence of HDP and adverse pregnancy outcomes. METHODS From January 2016 to December 2018, 289 women with HDP and 861 women without HDP were recruited at Shanghai Fifth People's Hospital, Fudan University to determine the relationship between the TyG index and the incidence of HDP and adverse pregnancy outcomes. RESULTS In the case-control study, the incidence of HDP was found to be significantly associated with the TyG index. Moreover, logistic regression indicated that the TyG index is an independent risk factor for HDP development and incidence of low birth weight (LBW) and fetal distress. In the cohort study, the results showed that the TyG index increased, there was a stepwise increase in HDP incidence, SBP, and DBP levels one week before delivery as well as in LBW and fetal distress incidence. The early trimester TyG index was positively associated with pre-pregnancy BMI, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) one week before delivery. Spline regression showed that there was a significant linear association between HDP incidence and early trimester TyG index when it was >8.5. CONCLUSIONS This work suggested that the early trimester TyG index was closely associated with the development of HDP and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract
Nondipper hypertensive patients have an increased incidence of damage to end organs, including the brain, heart, and kidney, and a worse cardiovascular prognosis. The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is a reliable indicator of insulin resistance (IR) and is closely related to the traditional risk factors of cardiovascular disease. To the best of our knowledge, whether there is a relationship between the TyG index and impaired diurnal blood pressure (BP) has not been investigated. This study aimed to compare the TyG index between normotensive, nondipper, and dipper hypertensive patients. A total of 1037 patients grouped according to the results of ambulatory BP monitoring were included, with group 1 including dipper hypertensive ( n = 368), group 2 including nondipper hypertensive ( n = 496), and group 3 including normotensive control ( n = 173) patients. In both the univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, TyG index [odds ratio (OR), 4.656; 95% confidence interval (CI), 3.014-7.193; P < 0.001], age (OR, 1.011; 95% CI, 1.002-1.021; P = 0.018), and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (OR, 0.979; 95% CI, 0.971-0.987; P < 0.001) were independent predictors of nondipper hypertension (HT). In the ROC analysis, a TyG index cutoff value of at least 4.74 predicted nondipper hypertensive patients with a sensitivity of 59.7%, and a specificity of 59.9% [area under the curve = 0.647 (0.614-0.680); 95% CI; P < 0.001]. We showed that TyG index, age, and GFR are independent predictors in patients with nondipper HT. TyG index, a simple, cost-effective, and rapid tool can predict the nondipper pattern in essential HT.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of insulin resistance (IR) in a rural population in Brazil, to verify its association with sociodemographic, labor, lifestyle, and health factors. Subjects and methods This is a cross-sectional study with 790 farmers in the state of Espírito Santo/Brazil. Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) was calculated and a cut-off point of Ln 4.52 was used. A hierarchical logistic regression for the association of insulin resistance with sociodemographic, labor, lifestyle and health variables of farmers living in Espírito Santo was performed. Results The prevalence of insulin resistance was 33.7% (n = 266), and the association with insulin resistance was found in the age group 31 to 40 years of age (OR = 1.85; 95% CI 1.19-2.87); in smokers or former smokers (OR = 1.63; 95% CI 1.08-2.48) and overweight (OR = 3.06; 95% CI 2.22-4.23). Conclusion The prevalence of insulin resistance was high in a rural population of Brazil, and was mainly associated with age, smoking and obesity. The use of TyG as an instrument for assessing the health of individuals living in areas where access to health services is difficult, such as rural areas, can represent an important advance in terms of health promotion, protection and recovery. In addition, by identifying the risk factors associated with IR, as well as their consequences, a more adequate scheme for the prevention and treatment of these comorbidities can be defined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While studies have suggested the association between triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a reliable surrogate for insulin resistance and hypertension data are limited to the correlation of TyG and central blood pressure. This study aims to test the hypothesis that a higher TyG index is associated with elevated central systolic blood pressure (cSBP). METHODS A total of 9249 Chinese hypertensive adults from the H-type Hypertension and Stroke Prevention and Control Project were analyzed in this study. cSBP was measured noninvasively using an A-Pulse CASPro device. TyG index was calculated as ln [fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Smoothing curve and multivariate linear regression models [beta coefficient (β) with 95% CI] were applied to analyze the association between TyG index and cSBP. Subgroup analyses were conducted to explore potential modifications to such a correlation. RESULTS The overall mean TyG index is 8.8 ± 0.7, and the total mean cSBP is 131.3 ± 12.8 mmHg. TyG index was observed to be independently and positively associated with cSBP among the total population (β = 0.92, 95% CI: 0.53-1.31, P < 0.001), and participants who do not use antihypertensive drugs (β = 1.03, 95% CI: 0.46-1.60, P < 0.001), which is in accordance with the result of the smoothing curve. The association between TyG index and cSBP appears robust in all tested subgroups. CONCLUSIONS TyG index is positively and independently associated with cSBP among hypertensive adults. Our study result suggests that TyG index might serve as an effective marker for vascular function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been suggested as a surrogate insulin resistance marker. This index could act as an early screening marker in individuals with a high risk of metabolic syndrome (MS) such as obese subjects. AIMS The objective of this work was to detect the cutoff point of the TyG index for the diagnosis of MS according to ATPIII criteria on obese subjects and to compare with HOMA-IR. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study in 1,494 obese subjects. Measurements of adiposity parameters, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, insulin concentration, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), lipid profile, C-reactive protein, adipokines, and the prevalence of MS were determined. The TyG index was calculated from the next equation: Ln (fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL))/2. RESULTS A total of 1,494 subjects were recruited, 421 males (28.1%) and 1,073 females (71.8%), with an average age of 45.8 ± 15.3 years (range: 29-62). A total of 677 subjects had MS (45.5%) and 817 did not show MS (54.6%). The averages of HOMA-IR and TyG index values increased as the components of MS were aggregated, and both indexes were higher in subjects with MS. The area under the curve (AUC) of the TyG index according to ATPIII criteria showed values of 0.746 (0.721-0.771; p = 0.001). The cutoff point according to the Youden index was 4.72, with sensitivity and specificity of 87% and 88.2%, respectively. For the HOMA-IR, AUC showed values of 0.682 (0.654-0.710; p = 0.01). The cutoff point was 3.23, with sensitivity and specificity of 78% and 70.1%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The TyG index is more powerful for predicting MS than HOMA-IR in Caucasian obese subjects.

Abstract
Obesity and insulin resistance are significant contributors to hypertension. There is a high prevalence of obesity among Uyghurs in the rural areas of Xinjiang, China. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the association between insulin resistance indices and hypertension according to different body weights in rural Uyghur residents of Xinjiang, China. A total of 12 813 local Uyghur residents were recruited for the study. Excluding those with incomplete data and those using antihypertensive, lipid‐lowering, or glycemic drugs, 9577 permanent residents were eligible for the study. Three insulin resistance indicators were calculated: triglyceride to high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, product of fasting triglyceride and glucose (TYG), and metabolic score for insulin resistance. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to estimate the association between the three non‐insulin‐based insulin resistance indices and the risk of hypertension for different body weights. TYG was significantly associated with hypertension in the normal‐weight group, particularly in women. In the obese group that was obese, all three indicators were associated with hypertension. Since TYG was associated with hypertension in the groups with normal weight and obesity, it may be useful as a reference indicator for insulin resistance. This indicator may provide a basis for the identification and management of hypertension risk among adults in the Uyghur population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the association between triglyceride glucose index and cardiovascular disease (CVD) development in the Chinese middle-aged and elderly population using the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study dataset 2011-2018. METHODS Basic characteristics of participants, including sociodemographic information, and health conditions, were acquired. Logistic regression analyses and restricted cubic spline regression analyses were conducted to investigate the association between the triglyceride glucose index and future CVD risks. Subgroup analyses were performed to evaluate potential interaction. RESULTS Seven hundred fifty-three of 6114 (12.3%) participants have developed CVD in 2018 over an approximately 7-year follow-up. The logistic regression analysis exhibited that compared to the lowest triglyceride glucose index group, the multivariable OR for future CVD was 0.985 (95%CI 0.811-1.198) in the T2 triglyceride glucose index group and 1.288 (95%CI 1.068-1.555) in the T3 TyG index (P for trend 0.006). The restricted cubic spline regression analysis showed the nonlinear association between triglyceride glucose index and CVD incidence; the cut-off values were 8.07 and 8.57, respectively, after total adjustment. Gender, fast blood glucose, and triglycerides interacted with triglyceride glucose index and CVD except for BMI. CONCLUSION The triglyceride glucose index was nonlinearly related to the risk of future cardiovascular disease in the middle-aged and elderly Chinese population.

Cheng W, Kong F, Chen S. Comparison of the predictive value of four insulin resistance surrogates for the prevalence of hypertension: a population-based study. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2022; 14:137. [PMID: 36163185 PMCID: PMC9511744 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-022-00907-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have investigated the association of insulin resistance (IR) surrogates and the risk of hypertension. However, it is unclear whether there exist differences between different IR surrogates and hypertension risk. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the association of four IR surrogates (triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index), triglyceride-glucose index with body mass index (TyG-BMI), triglycerides/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-c), and metabolic score for IR (METS-IR)) with the prevalence of hypertension. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study with a total of 117,056 participants. Data were extracted from a computerized database established by Rich Healthcare Group in China, which included all medical records of participants who received a health check-up from 2010 to 2016. IR surrogates were grouped into quartiles as continuous variables, and multivariate logistic regression was performed to estimate the association between different IR surrogate levels and the prevalence of hypertension. Results were expressed as odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Missing data were accounted by multiple imputation. These analyses were considered as the sensitivity analysis. Meanwhile, the Bayesian network (BN) model was constructed to further evaluate the relationship between baseline characteristics and the four IR surrogates and the prevalence of hypertension, as well as the importance of every single variable for the prevalence of hypertension. RESULTS Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that TyG-BMI and METS-IR were independent risk factors for the prevalence of hypertension that increased significantly with increasing TyG-BMI and METS-IR (p for trend < 0.001). The area under the TyG-BMI curve (AUC) was 0.681 [95% CI: 0.677-0.685], and the cut-off value was 199.5, with a sensitivity and specificity of 65.57% and 61.18%, respectively. While the area under the METS-IR curve (AUC) was 0.679 [95% CI: 0.674-0.683], and the cut-off value was 33.61, with a sensitivity and specificity of 69.67% and 56.67%, respectively. The BN model presented that among these four IR surrogates and related variables, TyG-BMI was the most important predictor of hypertension prevalence, with a significance of 34%. The results before and after multiple imputation were similar. CONCLUSION TyG-BMI and METS-IR were independent risk factors for the prevalence of hypertension. TyG-BMI and METS-IR had good predictive value for the prevalence of hypertension, and TyG-BMI was superior to METS-IR.

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
Background Abnormal glycolipid metabolism plays a crucial role in hypertension. While an elevated triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been recognized as a risk factor for developing hypertension, the associations between the TyG index and different hypertension subtypes, namely, isolated systolic hypertension (ISH), isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH), and systolic-diastolic hypertension (SDH), remain unclear. This study was designed to investigate the associations between the TyG index and hypertension subtypes in a general Chinese population. Materials and methods In a sample of 16,793 participants from Shandong Province, China, multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the associations between the TyG index and different hypertension subtypes. Loess smooth curves were fitted to visualize the trends. Stratified analyses were conducted to further assess the potential interactions in the associations between the TyG index and different hypertension subtypes. Results A higher TyG index was associated with an increased odds of having IDH (OR = 2.94, 95% CI: 1.66–5.23) and SDH (OR = 1.82, 95% CI: 1.33–2.49), whereas no apparent relationship was observed between TyG index and ISH. With respect to sex, the effect of TyG index on having IDH and SDH was significant in women, but not in men. Participants with lower lipid profiles and glucose levels demonstrated a stronger strength of association between the TyG index and IDH as compared with the TyG index-SDH association. Stratified analysis showed that participants with a higher TyG index were more than 3 times more likely to have IDH and SDH among persons aged 18–42 years. Significant interactions were observed between TyG index and sex, age, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in the SDH group, and a significant interaction was also found between TyG index and body mass index (BMI) in the ISH group. Conclusion Triglyceride-glucose index may potentially serve as a novel indicator for IDH and SDH. Our findings could also inform the development and implementation of targeted screening for hypertension.

Relationship between the triglyceride-glucose index and risk of cardiovascular diseases and mortality in the general population: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2022; 21:124. [PMID: 35778731 PMCID: PMC9250255 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-022-01546-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 114] [Impact Index Per Article: 57.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a new alternative measure for insulin resistance. This meta-analysis was conducted to assess the associations of the TyG index with the risks of cardiovascular diseases and mortality in the general population. METHODS The PubMed, Cochrane Library and Embase databases were searched for randomized controlled trials or observational cohort studies reporting associations of the TyG index with cardiovascular diseases and mortality from inception to April 16, 2022. Effect sizes were pooled using random-effects models. Robust error meta-regression methods were applied to fit nonlinear dose-response associations. Evidence quality levels and recommendations were assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation system (GRADE). RESULTS Twelve cohort studies (6 prospective and 6 retrospective cohorts) involving 6,354,990 participants were included in this meta-analysis. Compared with the lowest TyG index category, the highest TyG index was related to a higher incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) (3 studies; hazard ratio [HR] = 2.01; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.68-2.40; I2 = 0%), myocardial infarction (MI) (2 studies; HR = 1.36; 95% CI 1.18-1.56; I2 = 35%), and composite cardiovascular disease (CVD) (5 studies; HR = 1.46; 95% CI 1.23-1.74; I2 = 82%). However, there was no association between the TyG index and mortality (cardiovascular mortality [3 studies; HR = 1.10; 95% CI 0.82-1.47; I2 = 76%] or all-cause mortality [4 studies; HR = 1.08; 95% CI 0.92-1.27; I2 = 87%]). In the dose-response analysis, there was a linear association of the TyG index with the risk of CAD (Pnonlinear = 0.3807) or CVD (Pnonlinear = 0.0612). GRADE assessment indicated very low certainty for CVD, MI, cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality, and moderate certainty for CAD. CONCLUSIONS Based on our current evidence, a higher TyG index may be associated with an increased incidence of CAD (moderate certainty), MI (very low certainty) and CVD (very low certainty) in the general population. There is a potential linear association of the TyG index with CAD and the composite CVD incidence. Further prospective studies (especially in non-Asians) are needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract
Introduction: In this investigation, we aimed to explore the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the non-dipping blood pressure (BP) pattern in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients. Methods: In this retrospective study, 216 consecutive newly diagnosed hypertensive patients who had undergone 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (ABPM) monitoring and had not received anti-hypertensive drugs were included. Non-dipping status was evaluated by a 24-h ABPM monitoring in all patients. We categorized the patients into two groups as; dippers (n=104 cases) and non-dippers (n=112 cases). The TyG index was derived from the fasting triglyceride and fasting glucose levels using the formula; ln[fasting triglyceride (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Results: Non-dipper group had a higher TyG index than the dipper group. The TyG was an independent predictor of non-dipping BP in hypertensive individuals, according to multivariable analysis. The TyG index was negatively associated with a decrease in both systolic and diastolic BP during the nighttime. The ideal cutoff value of the TyG index in detecting non-dipping status was≥9.01 with 74.1% sensitivity and 71.2% specificity. A ROC comparison indicated that the area under the curve value of TyG index was superior to fasting triglyceride, fasting glucose, and homeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR) in detecting non-dipping BP. Conclusion: The TyG index was an independent predictor of non-dipping status in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients who had undergone 24-hour ABPM monitoring and had not received anti-hypertensive drugs. As a simple and easily obtained parameter, the TyG index can be used to detect such pattern among these patients.

Abstract
Background The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index serves as a surrogate indicator of insulin resistance. However, there is limited evidence on the association between the TyG index and carotid artery plaque (CAP) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods The 10,535 CHD patients were divided according to TyG index quartiles (Q1: TyG index < 8.52; Q2: 8.52 ≤ TyG index < 8.93; Q3: 8.93 ≤ TyG index ≤ 9.40; Q4: TyG index > 9.40). The presence or absence of CAP was determined by carotid ultrasonography. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between the TyG index and CAP in CHD patients. The relationship between the TyG index and CAP in according to sex, age groups, and glucose metabolism states were also assessed. Results The baseline analysis showed that there were significant differences in related parameters among CHD patients divided into four groups according to the quartile of the TyG index. In the multi-adjusted modles, compared to Q1 of the TyG index, the odds ratios (OR) for Q4 of the TyG index for CAP were 1.37 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.28–1.47) in CHD patients. The association between the TyG index and CAP in female (OR: 1.35; 95% CI 1.29–1.43) was higher than that in male (OR: 1.20; 95% CI 1.13–1.27). The OR value of middle-aged (≤ 60 years old) patients (OR: 1.34; 95% CI 1.26–1.42) was higher than that in elderly (> 60 years old) patients (OR: 1.16; 95% CI 1.11–1.22). In different glucose metabolism states, the TyG index of CHD patients was significantly related to the risk of CAP, with the highest OR value observed for diabetes (OR: 1.36; 95% CI 1.26–1.46). Conclusions The TyG index and CAP showed a significant association in CHD patients. This association between TyG index and CAP in CHD patients is higher in female than in male, and the association in middle-aged and elderly patients is higher than that in elderly patients. In the condition of DM, the association between TyG index and carotid artery plaque in CHD patients is higher. Graphical abstract ![]()

Abstract
Body mass index (BMI) and dyslipidemia are indicators of human health and are often associated with high blood pressure. In this study,we explored the relationship between BMI or dyslipidemia and the risk of hypertension and further verified the possible interacting influences of BMI with dyslipidemia on the risk of hypertension. The aim is to explore the possible risk factors of hypertension and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of hypertension. Eligible subjects were selected from a cross-sectional survey in Changsha City, and we collected relevant data and clinical indicators for each participant. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated as weight (kg)/height2 (m2), and divided into four categories according to the Chinese standard. Dyslipidemia is defined according to Chinese guideline. Unconditional logistic regression models were used for dichotomous variables to determine the risk or protective factors of dependent variables. Multivariate Logistic model was used to study the influence of BMI and dyslipidemia on hypertension. The following indicators were used to assess the interaction effects: (1) Relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI); (2) Attributable proportion due to interaction(AP); (3) Synergy index (SI). SPSS software was used for statistical analysis. A total of 2740 eligible participants were enrolled in the cross-sectional study, of which 765 subjects (27.9%) were diagnosed with hypertension. Multivariate Logistic model showed that overweight (OR: 1.70, 95%CI: 1.39–2.09) or obese (OR: 2.60, 95%CI: 1.84–3.66) subjects had a significantly higher risk of hypertension than normal weight people, and underweight was a protective factor for hypertension(OR: 0.52, 95%CI: 0.29–0.93). People with dyslipidemia have a higher risk of hypertension than those with normal lipids (OR: 3.05, 95%CI: 2.36–3.90). In addition,there was a significant potentiating interaction effect between overweight or obesity and dyslipidemia(overweight: RERI (1.91, 95%CI: 0.17–3.66), AP (0.40, 95%CI:0.14–0.66), SI (2.03, 95%CI:1.11–3.74) and obesity: RERI (2.20, 95%CI:1.01–3.40), AP (0.38, 95%CI:0.18–0.58), SI (1.84, 95%CI:1.18–2.89), while no interaction was found between underweight and dyslipidemia. Low body weight is an independent protective factor for hypertension, but overweight, obesity and dyslipidemia are risk factors for hypertension, and dyslipidemia significantly shared interactions with overweight and obesity that influenced the risk of hypertension.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Thus, the aim of this study was to identify the cutoff point of the TyG index for the diagnosis of insulin resistance (IR), according to two different diagnostic criteria of metabolic syndrome in a rural Brazilian population. METHODS The study population consisted of 790 family farmers from 18 to 59 years old. The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) was calculated, and the Metabolic Syndrome was defined using the NCEP-ATPIII and IDF criteria. Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze the association of quantitative and qualitative variables. When the qualitative variable had three or more categories, the comparison between the means was performed by the Kruskal-Wallis test (using the Mann-Whitney U Test two by two to identify the differences). For correlations, Spearman's correlation test was used. The cutoff values of TyG index for MetS were obtained using the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis with the area under the curve (AUC) and the Youden Index. RESULTS The median TyG values increased according to the aggregation of the components of MetS. The AUCs and Youden's cutoff point for TyG index according to the NCEP and IDF diagnostic criteria were 0.873, Ln 4.52 (sensitivity: 84.30%; specificity: 75.75%), and 0.867, Ln 4.55 (sensitivity: 80.0%; specificity: 79.82%), respectively. CONCLUSION A cutoff point of Ln 4.52 was defined, and it can be used both in clinical practice and epidemiological studies. It represents an important tool for promotion, protection and recovery health of rural populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been reported as a novel surrogate marker of insulin resistance and a risk factor in patients with coronary artery disease. We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of TyG index in a distinct entity with myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA). METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 1179 MINOCA patients were recruited and divided according to tertile levels of TyG index. The primary endpoint was a composite of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including all-cause death, reinfarction, stroke, revascularization and hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure. Kaplan-Meier, Cox regression and receiver-operating characteristic analyses were performed. Patients with higher tertiles of TyG index had a significantly higher incidence of MACE (9.6%, 14.9%, 18.0%; p = 0.003) over the median follow-up of 41.7 months. After multivariate adjustment, elevated TyG index was significantly associated with an increased risk of MACE (HR 1.33, 95% CI: 1.04-1.69, p = 0.020). The adjusted risk of MACE also increased with rising tertiles of TyG index (tertile 1 as reference; tertile 2: HR 1.64, 95% CI: 1.06-2.53, p = 0.025; tertile 3: HR 1.85, 95% CI: 1.17-2.93, p = 0.008). The TyG index remained a robust risk factor in overall and subgroups of MINOCA patients (all p < 0.05). Moreover, the TyG index yielded a moderate predictive value of MACE (area under the curve 0.66, 95% CI:0.61-0.71, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Elevated TyG index was independently associated with a poor prognosis after MINOCA. Routine assessment of TyG index may improve risk stratification and facilitate decision making in MINOCA patients.

High triglyceride-glucose index is associated with early recurrent ischemic lesion in acute ischemic stroke. Sci Rep 2021; 11:15335. [PMID: 34321520 PMCID: PMC8319389 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-94631-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2021] [Accepted: 07/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been associated with various metabolic, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular diseases. We evaluated the association between the TyG index and early recurrent ischemic lesions (ERILs) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We included consecutive patients diagnosed with AIS between 2010 and 2016. ERILs were defined as new diffusion-weighted imaging lesions outside the initial symptomatic lesion area. The TyG index was calculated using the following formula: log scale of fasting triglyceride × fasting glucose/2. A total of 176 patients with AIS were evaluated. In the multivariable analysis, the TyG index remained significant (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.63, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.34–5.15). This close correlation between the TyG index and ERIL was pronounced in ERIL-same group (aOR 2.84, 95% CI 1.40–5.78), but not in ERIL-different group. When comparing the relationship between the TyG index and ERIL by stroke mechanisms, only the intracranial- and extracranial-large artery atherosclerosis groups showed significantly higher TyG index values in patients with ERIL than those without. In conclusion, a higher TyG index was associated with ERIL, especially ERIL-same, in patients with AIS. The TyG index appears to be involved in ERIL occurrence by a mechanism related to atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to investigate the correlation between triglyceride–glucose index (TyG) and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods A total of 102,061 permanent residents of Tianjin, China, aged 35–75 years were surveyed. A questionnaire, physical examination, and blood tests for biochemical markers were conducted for all subjects. The risk of CVD was judged based on the results, identifying the population with a high risk of CVD. TyG was calculated for all subjects who were then grouped into TyG quartiles. The correlation between TyG and the detection rate of subjects with a high risk of CVD was analyzed using the chi-square test and Pearson’s correlation analysis. The cut-off points and the magnitude of the predictive effect of TyG in determining a high risk of CVD were identified by calculating the TyG through analysis of the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve. Results The surveyed population consisted of 39,598 males (38.8%) and 62,463 females (61.2%). The average age was 55.84 ± 10.27 years. A statistically significant difference in the incidence of a high CVD risk between subjects in the four groups divided by the TyG levels was identified (p < 0.01). Pearson’s correlation analysis showed that TyG was correlated with all risk factors for CVD (p < 0.01). The maximum Youden’s J statistic for determining the high risk of CVD was found at a TyG of 9.04 (specificity 0.575, sensitivity 0.754). The area under the ROC curve was 0.780 (confidence interval [CI]: 0.777, 0.783, p < 0.01). Conclusion TyG index is closely related to the aggregation of cardiovascular risk factors and is correlated with the judgment results of the screening population’s high risk of CVD, suggesting that more attention should be paid to the identification and control of multiple risk factors in the population with significantly elevated TyG.

Abstract
Insulin resistance (IR) plays an important role in the development of hypertension. Triglyceride and glucose index (TyG index), and triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-c) as effective IR surrogate indexes have been verified in numerous studies. Therefore, the authors conducted a large cross-sectional study to explore the association of TyG index and TG/HDL-c with prehypertension and hypertension in the same normoglycemic subjects from Tianjin, China. A total of 32 124 adults were eligible for this study. According to the level of blood pressure, the enrolled individuals were divided into three groups, which were normotension, prehypertension, and hypertension. In multiple logistic regression analysis, there was associated with prehypertension and hypertension when comparing the highest TyG index to the lowest TyG index and corresponding ORs were 1.795 (1.638, 1.968) and 2.439 (2.205, 2.698), respectively. For TG/HDL-c, the corresponding ORs were 1.514 (1.382, 1.658) and 1.934 (1.751, 2.137), respectively. Furthermore, when comparing the fourth quartile to the first quartile of TyG index and TG/HDL-c, respectively, both corresponding ORs of hypertension were higher than prehypertension. Elevated TyG index and TG/HDL-c levels were associated with prehypertension and hypertension in normoglycemic individuals. Moreover, the TyG index was more significant than TG/HDL-c in distinguishing hypertension. They have the potential to become cost-effective monitors in the hierarchical management of prehypertension and hypertension.

Abstract
Background: Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a recently proposed surrogate indicator of insulin resistance. Previous studies evaluating the association between TyG index and hypertension risk in general adult population showed inconsistent results. We performed a meta-analysis to systematically evaluate this association. Methods: Observational studies, which evaluated the independent association between TyG index and hypertension in the general adult population, were identified by systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Wanfang data, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. A random-effect model, which incorporated the potential intra-study heterogeneity, was used for the meta-analysis. Results: Eight observational studies including 200,044 participants were included. Results showed that compared with those with the lowest category of TyG index, subjects with the highest category of TyG index were associated with higher odds of hypertension [adjusted risk ratio (RR): 1.53, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.26-1.85, I 2 = 54%, P < 0.001]. Sensitivity analysis by excluding one dataset at a time showed consistent result (adjusted RR: 1.44-1.62, P all < 0.001). Results of univariate meta-regression analysis showed that differences in sample size, mean age, male proportion, mean body mass index, and study quality score among the included studies did not have significant influence on the association between TyG index and hypertension (P values all > 0.10), suggesting that differences in these characteristics may not be the major source of heterogeneity. Subgroup analyses showed that study characteristics such as study design, participant ethnicity, age, or sex of the participants did not significantly affect the association (P for subgroup difference all >0.05). Conclusions: Higher TyG index may be associated with higher odds of hypertension in general adult population. Large-scale prospective cohort studies are needed to validate these findings, and further studies are needed to elucidate the potential pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the association between TyG index and hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS To compare the relationships of five obesity-related routine anthropometric indicators (body mass index (BMI), body adiposity index (BAI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR)) for hypertension in both sexes and among different age groups of the Chinese population. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 12,064 adult participants (5638 males and 6426 females) were included. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals were used with binary logistic regression models to estimate the risk of hypertension for each obesity index. For the males, WHtR had the highest OR value in all age groups. The degrees of correlation between hypertension and the obesity indices for different age groups were different among the females. WC, BMI, and WHtR were the highest in the 18-44, 45-59, and ≥60 years age groups, respectively. Furthermore, we compared the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of each obesity index for the criterion of hypertension under the influence of risk factors. For the males, the AUC of WHtR was the largest (0.814, 0.710, and 0.662). WC (AUC = 0.820), BMI (AUC = 0.765), and WHtR (AUC = 0.668) tended to be the best criteria for hypertension among females in the 18-44, 45-59, and ≥60 years age groups respectively. In addition, BAI, as an obesity indicator proposed in recent years, has a positive association with hypertension except in 18-44 years women, which was not stronger than other obesity indicators. CONCLUSIONS For males, WHtR appears to be the best obesity index related with hypertension. For young, middle-aged, and elderly women, the best obesity indices related with hypertension are WC, BMI, and WHtR, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is an inexpensive clinical surrogate marker for insulin resistance. However, the relationship between TyG index and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains unclear. We evaluated the relationship between TyG index and CVD using a large-scale population dataset from the National Health Information Database (NHID). METHODS We performed a retrospective observational cohort study of 5,593,134 persons older than 40 years from 2009 to 2017 using the NHID. We divided the participants into TyG index quartiles. Outcome variables were stroke, myocardial infarction, and both. The incidence of outcomes was estimated for each TyG quartile over the total follow-up period. All outcomes were analyzed by Cox proportional hazards regression analysis while controlling for baseline covariates. RESULTS During 8.2 years of mean follow-up, stroke was diagnosed in 89,120 (1.59%), MI in 62,577 (1.12%), and both stroke and MI in 146,744 (2.62%) participants. Multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for patients in the highest TyG index quartile demonstrated that these patients were at higher risk for stroke (HR = 1.259; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.233-1.286), for MI (HR = 1.313; 95% CI 1.28-1.346), and for both (HR = 1.282; 95% CI 1.261-1.303) compared with participants in the lowest TyG index quartile. These effects were independent of age, sex, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, and total cholesterol. CONCLUSIONS In our large population study, TyG index, a simple measure reflecting insulin resistance, was potentially useful in the early identification of individuals at high risk of experiencing a cardiovascular event.

Abstract
Background Hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) is considered to be a convenient measurable indicator to assess the inter-individual variation of HbA1c. In the present study, we tested the relationship between HGI and risk of hypertension, and further explored the possible interacting influences of HGI with other such factors on hypertension risk among Chinese individuals. Methods The eligible subjects were chosen from a community-based cross-sectional survey in China. We collected relevant data and clinical indicators for each participant. HGI was calculated as “measured HbA1c-predicted HbA1c” and divided into four categories according to quartile. The following indicators were used to assess interactive effects: (1) relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI); (2) attributable proportion due to interaction (AP); and (3) synergy index (SI). Statistical analysis was performed using R software. Results Specifically, 1777 eligible participants were selected in this cross-sectional survey. There were 433 subjects who were identified to have hypertension (24.4%). A significant increase in the prevalence of hypertension from Q1 to Q4 of HGI was observed (p < 0.001). Multivariable logistic model demonstrated that subjects at the highest HGI group had a substantially increased risk of being hypertensive than subjects in the first quartile of HGI, as indicated by the OR value of 1.87 (95% CI 1.26–2.78). Moreover, a significant interaction between family history of hypertension and HGI on hypertension risk was detected (RERI: 1.36, 95% CI 0.11–2.63; AP: 0.43, 95% CI 0.17–0.69; and SI:2.68, 95% CI 1.10–6.48). The interactive effect between HGI and abdominal obesity was also found to be significant, as estimated by the value of RERI (1.04, 95% CI 0.24–1.85), AP (0.33, 95% CI 0.11–0.56) and SI (1.96, 95% CI 1.01–3.79). However, in the analysis of the interaction between HGI and general obesity, only the AP value (0.28, 95% CI 0.01–0.54) was observed to be significant. Conclusion High HGI was independently associated with the risk of hypertension. Moreover, HGI significantly shared interactions with obesity and family history of hypertension that influenced the risk of hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate whether the Triglyceride-Glucose index (TyG-index) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD)/coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS A total of 7521 Iranians aged ≥ 30 years (male = 3367) were included in the study. Multivariate Cox regression analyses (adjusted for age, gender, waist circumference, body mass index, educational level, smoking status, physical activity, family history of CVD, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, low and high density lipoprotein cholesterol, and lipid lowering drugs) were used to assess the risk of incident CVD/CHD across quintiles and for 1-standard deviation (SD) increase in the TyG-index. The cut off point for TyG-index was assessed by the minimum value of [Formula: see text]. We also examined the added value of the TyG-index in addition to the Framingham risk score when predicting CVD. RESULTS During follow-up, 1084 cases of CVD (male = 634) were recorded. We found a significant trend of TyG-index for incident CVD/CHD in multivariate analysis (both Ps for tend ≤ 0.002). Moreover, a 1-SD increase in TyG-index was associated with significant risk of CVD/CHD in multivariate analysis [1.16 (1.07-1.25) and 1.19 (1.10-1.29), respectively]. The cut-off value of TyG-index for incident CVD was 9.03 (59.2% sensitivity and 63.2% specificity); the corresponding value of TyG-index for incident CHD was 9.03 (60.0% sensitivity and 62.8% specificity), respectively. Although no interaction was found between gender and TyG-index for CVD/CHD in multivariate analysis (both Ps for interaction > 0.085), the significant trend of TyG-index was observed only among females for incident CVD (P = 0.035). A significant interaction was found between age groups (i.e. ≥ 60 vs < 60 years) and TyG-index for CVD outcomes in the multivariate model (P-value for interaction = 0.046). Accordingly, a significant association between the TyG-index and outcomes was found only among the younger age group. Among the population aged < 60 the addition of TyG-index to the Framingham risk score (FRS) did not show improvement in the predictive ability of the FRS, using integrated discrimination improvement. CONCLUSION The TyG-index is significantly associated with increased risk of CVD/CHD incidence; this issue was more prominent among the younger population. However, adding TyG-index to FRS does not provide better risk prediction for CVD.

Abstract
Background Both lipid and glucose abnormalities are associated with hypertension (HTN). However, it is unclear whether the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is associated with HTN. Therefore the aim of this study is to investigate the association of the TyG index and HTN and to compare the discriminative power of the TyG index, lipid, glycemic parameters for the risk of HTN in elderly individuals. Methods The present study was nested in a longitudinal (REACTION) study from May 2011 to December 2011, which was designed to demonstrate the association of abnormal glucose metabolism with the risk of cancer in the Chinese population. In total, 47,808 participants were recruited in this cross-sectional study. The TyG index was divided into five groups: the < 20% group, the 20–39% group, the 40–59% group, the 60–79% group and the ≥ 80% group, according to quintile division of the subjects. Three multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between the TyG vs. lipid parameters, glycemic parameters and HTN. Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis shows that compared with lipid and glycemic parameters, the TyG index remains significantly associated with HTN in either total subjects or subjects separated into men and women (odds ratio (OR) 1.33, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.18–1.51, p < 0.0001 in total subjects; OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.11–1.74, p = 0.0042 in men; OR 1.28, 95% CI 1.11–1.49, p = 0.0010 in women). In a stratified analysis, an elevated TyG index is significantly associated with HTN in the subgroup of the oldest age (≥ 65) (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.30–2.14, p < 0.0001), as well as with obesity (Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 28 kg/m2) (OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.29–2.66, p = 0.0009) or lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (< 90 mL/(min·1.73 m2)) (OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.33–2.21, p < 0.0001). Conclusion The TyG index is significantly associated with HTN and shows the superior discriminative ability for HTN compared with lipid and glycemic parameters in the Chinese elderly population.
