Abstract
There is a relative scarcity of large-scale population studies investigating the relationship between the insulin resistance index of homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR) and vascular damage. Therefore, we assessed the association between HOMA-IR and vascular damage in adults aged 18 years and older in China. A total of 17,985 research subjects were included. Vascular damage markers and relevant laboratory tests were measured. HOMA-IR was calculated as (fasting insulin * fasting blood glucose)/22.5. Vascular damage included arteriosclerosis (ba-PWV > 1800 cm/s), peripheral artery disease (ABI < 0.9), and microalbuminuria (UACR > 30 mg/g). The relationship between HOMA-IR and vascular damage was analyzed using the RCS. The restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis suggested that HOMA-IR was nonlinearly associated with arteriosclerosis (P for no-liner < 0.01), peripheral artery disease (P for no-liner < 0.01), and microalbuminuria (P for no-liner < 0.01). Further segmented regression analyses revealed that in study subjects with HOMA-IR < 5, we found that HOMA-IR was associated with an increased OR for arteriosclerosis (OR: 1.36, 95% CI (1.28, 1.45), P < 0.01), peripheral artery disease (OR: 1.33, 95% CI (1.10, 1.60), P < 0.01) and microalbuminuria (OR: 1.59, 95% CI (1.49, 1.70), P < 0.01). HOMA-IR is an independent risk factor for vascular damage, both macrovascular and microvascular. The phenomenon of saturation of HOMA-IR with vascular damage needs further investigation.

Association between maternal lipid profiles and lipid ratios in early to middle pregnancy as well as their dynamic changes and gestational diabetes mellitus. BMC Pregnancy Childbirth 2024; 24:510. [PMID: 39075387 PMCID: PMC11285337 DOI: 10.1186/s12884-024-06692-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/31/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Unfavourable lipid and glucose levels may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, there is a lack of prospective studies on the relationship between lipid profiles, lipid ratios and GDM during pregnancy. AIMS To prospectively investigate the relationship between lipid profile and lipid ratios in early and mid-pregnancy and their pattern of change from early to mid-pregnancy and the risk of GDM. METHODS This nested case-control study was based on maternal and child healthcare hospitals from Fujian Province, China. We included pregnant women who delivered in the hospital from January 2021 to June 2023. Lipid profiles (TC, TG, ApoA1, ApoB, HDL-c, LDL-c) and fasting glucose were measured before 14 weeks of gestation and between 20 and 28 weeks of gestation, and lipid ratios (triglyceride glucose index, TG/HDL-c and TC/HDL-c) was constructed. Logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between lipid profile, lipid ratios and GDM. RESULTS Of 1586 pregnant women, 741 were diagnosed with GDM. After adjusting for potential confounders, TG, ApoA1, ApoB, LDL-c, triglyceride glucose index, TG/HDL-c, and TC/HDL-c in early pregnancy were positively associated with the risk of GDM (odds ratios [95% CI] for extreme interquartile comparisons were 2.040 (1.468-2.843), 1.506 (1.091-2.082), 1.529 (1.110-2.107), 1.504 (1.086-2.086), 1.952 (1.398-2.731), 2.127 (1.526-2.971), and 2.370 (1.700-3.312), all trend P < 0.05). HDL-c was negatively associated with the risk of GDM (0.639: 0.459-0.889, trend P all less than 0.05). Similarly, in mid-pregnancy, lower levels of HDL-c, higher levels of triglyceride glucose index, TG/HDL-c ratio, and TC/HDL-c ratio were associated with increased risk of GDM (all trends P < 0.05). Stably high levels (both ≥ median for early and mid-pregnancy) of triglyceride glucose index, TG/HDL-c and TC/HDL-c were associated with increased risk of GDM (OR [95% CI]: 2.369 (1.438-3.940), 1.588 (1.077-2.341), 1.921 (1.309-2.829), respectively). The opposite was true for HDL-c, where stable high levels were negatively associated with GDM risk (OR [95% CI]: 0.599 (0.405-0.883)). CONCLUSION Increases in triglyceride glucose index, TG/HDL-c ratio, and TC/HDL-c ratio in early and mid-pregnancy, as well as their stable high levels from early to mid-pregnancy, are associated with a higher risk of GDM. In contrast, increased levels of HDL-c, both in early and mid-pregnancy, and their stable high levels from early to mid-pregnancy were associated with a lower risk of GDM. That highlighted their possible clinical relevance in identifying those at high risk of GDM.

[PMID: 38514591 DOI: 10.1007/s12020-024-03785-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a simple surrogate marker for insulin resistance (IR), has been reported as an independent predictor of arterial structural damage and future cardiovascular events. The association between TyG index and endothelial dysfunction remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between TyG index and endothelial dysfunction. METHODS Endothelial dysfunction was measured using flow-mediated dilation (FMD). A total of 840 subjects, who voluntarily accepted FMD measurement at the Health Management Department of Xuanwu Hospital from October 2016 to January 2020, were included in this study. TyG index was calculated as Ln [fasting triglyceride (TG)(mg/dL) × fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (mg/dL)/2]. RESULTS The mean age was 59.92 ± 10.28 years and 559 (66.55%) participants were male. The TyG index was correlated with FMD values (P = 0.022). Each unit increment in TyG index was associated with lower FMD values (β = -0.330, 95%CI -0.609 to -0.052, P = 0.020) after adjusting for covariates. Age (β = -0.069, 95%CI -0.088 to -0.051, P < 0.001), female (β = 0.592, 95%CI 0.172 to1.012, P = 0.006), smoking (β = -0.430, 95%CI -0.859 to -0.002, P = 0.049) and hypertension (β = -0.741, 95%CI -1.117 to -0.365, P < 0.001) were also independent predictors for endothelial dysfunction. A significant association between the TyG index and endothelial dysfunction was found only in populations younger than 60 years (β = -0.843, 95%CI -1.371 to -0.316, P = 0.002), females (β = -0.612, 95%CI -1.147 to -0.077, P = 0.025), and populations without diabetes mellitus (DM) (β = -0.594, 95%CI -1.042 to -0.147, P = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS Subjects with an elevated TyG index are more likely to have endothelial dysfunction, particularly in populations without DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and arterial stiffness in individuals with normoglycaemia remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between the TyG index and arterial stiffness in Japanese individuals with normoglycaemia, providing additional evidence for predicting early arterial stiffness. METHODS This study included 15,453 adults who participated in the NAGALA Physical Examination Project of the Murakami Memorial Hospital in Gifu, Japan, from 2004 to 2015. Data on clinical demographic characteristics and serum biomarker levels were collected. The TyG index was calculated from the logarithmic transformation of fasting triglycerides multiplied by fasting glucose, and arterial stiffness was measured using the estimated pulse wave velocity calculated based on age and mean blood pressure. The association between the TyG index and arterial stiffness was analysed using a logistic regression model. RESULTS The prevalence of arterial stiffness was 3.2% (500/15,453). After adjusting for all covariates, the TyG index was positively associated with arterial stiffness as a continuous variable (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.86; 95% Confidence Interval = 1.45-2.39; P<0.001). Using the quartile as the cutoff point, a regression analysis was performed for arterial stiffness when the TyG index was converted into a categorical variable. After adjusting for all covariates, the OR showed an upward trend; the trend test was P<0.001. Subgroup analysis revealed a positive association between the TyG index and arterial stiffness in Japanese individuals with normoglycaemia and different characteristics. CONCLUSION The TyG index in Japanese individuals with normoglycaemia is significantly correlated with arterial stiffness, and the TyG index may be a predictor of early arterial stiffness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI index) has been suggested as a novel predictor of insulin resistance. However, its predictive value for slow coronary flow phenomenon (SCFP) in patients with ischemia and nonobstructive coronary arteries (INOCA) remains unclear. METHODS We consecutively recruited 1625 patients with INOCA from February 2019 to February 2023 and divided them into two groups based on thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) frame counts (TFCs): the SCFP group (n = 79) and the control group. A 1:2 age-matched case-control study was then performed. The TyG-BMI index was calculated as ln [plasma triglyceride (mg/dL) × fasting blood glucose (mg/dL)/2] × BMI. RESULTS TyG-BMI index in the SCFP group (218.3 ± 25.2 vs 201.0 ± 26.5, P < .001) was significantly higher than in the normal controls. TyG-BMI index also increased with the number of coronary arteries involved in the SCFP. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that TyG-BMI, BMI, and TG were independent predictors for SCFP. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that when the TyG-BMI index was above 206.7, the sensitivity and specificity were 88.6% and 68.5%, respectively, with an AUC of 0.809 (95% CI: 0.756-0.863, P = .027). Combined BMI with TG, the TyG-BMI index had a better predictive value for SCFP than BMI and TG (P < .001). CONCLUSION The TyG-BMI index was an independent predictor for SCFP in INOCA patients, and it had a better predictive value than BMI and TG.

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.

High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging investigation of the connection between the triglyceride-glucose index and intracranial arterial remodeling: a retrospective cross-sectional study. Quant Imaging Med Surg 2023; 13:8504-8516. [PMID: 38106280 PMCID: PMC10722004 DOI: 10.21037/qims-23-752] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
Background Insulin resistance (IR) is associated with atherosclerotic plaque progression and the occurrence of stroke, with the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index serving as a surrogate indicator. The present study aimed to investigate the association between TyG index levels and intracranial arterial remodeling in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods Patients with AIS who visited the Neurology Department of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University and underwent high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) between September 2018 and October 2021 were enrolled. A total of 123 patients were finally included in the study, with 81 excluded. The TyG index levels were measured, and the characteristics of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) plaques were evaluated using HR-MRI. A logistic regression model was employed to analyze the relationship between TyG index levels and remodeling mode. Patients were divided into two groups, positive remodeling (PR) and non-positive remodeling (non-PR), based on the remodeling index (RI). Results Patients in the PR group had a higher TyG index than those in the non-PR group {median [interquartile range (IQR)]: 9.11 (8.82-9.51) vs. 8.72 (8.30-9.23), P<0.001}. After adjusting factors such as age and gender, the TyG index was found to be significantly correlated with intracranial arterial PR [odds ratio (OR): 3.169, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.327-7.569, P=0.009]. In non-diabetes mellitus (DM) patients, the TyG index level in the PR group was significantly higher than that in the non-PR group (8.95±0.42 vs. 8.50±0.45, P<0.001), whereas there was no such difference in patients with DM. Conclusions TyG index was correlated with intracranial vessel PR, indicating that the TyG index level may be a useful marker for predicting intracranial vessel PR.

Abstract
Aim China has the highest rail transportation density in the world. Compared to other occupational populations, railway workers in China face increased risk of chronic non-communicable diseases. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and carotid artery plaque (CAP) in a population of railway workers in southwest China. Methods The cross-sectional study was conducted among 3169 railway workers who were categorized into four groups based on TyG index quartiles. The presence of CAP was assessed using carotid Doppler ultrasound. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline analyses were used to estimate the association between TyG index and CAP, and subgroup analyses were performed based on age, blood pressure, metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), smoking, drinking, and physical activity. Results Participants with higher TyG index quartiles had a higher prevalence of CAP, with 11.63%, 14.11%, 20.20%, and 18.56% from the first to fourth quartile, respectively. The multi-adjusted logistic regression models showed a positive association between TyG index and the risk of CAP (odds ratio [OR]: 1.22, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.06-1.41) when treated as a continuous variable. When analyzed as a categorical variable with increasing TyG index tertiles, the risk of CAP substantially increased with ORs (95% CIs) of 1.22 (0.90-1.65) for the second quartile, 1.70 (1.27-2.28) for the third quartile, and 1.46 (1.08-1.98) for the fourth quartile compared to the lowest quartile. Restricted cubic spline revealed that the association gradually strengthened with the increase of the TyG index below 9.56. Conclusion TyG index was significantly associated with CAP, notably in populations with elevated quartiles of TyG index among railway workers. Monitoring the TyG index could be a useful risk management strategy for CAP in occupation population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous studies linking Triglyceride Glucose (TyG) Index to carotid plaque have yielded inconsistent results. Moreover, related studies on the population of Japan are rare. This study aims to provide further results. DESIGN A hospital-based cross-sectional study. SETTING The Shin Takeo Hospital. PARTICIPANTS We assessed 1904 Japanese participants (988 men and 916 women) whose mean age was 57±11.9 years, and those participants underwent health check-ups at Shinbuf Hospital at Shin Takeo Hospital from 1 April 2016 to 31 October 2017. METHODOLOGY Carotid plaque, triglyceride and fasting glucose and other relevant indicators were collected. We used ultrasonography to evaluate carotid plaque. A multivariable logistic regression model and generalised additive model were used to evaluate the association between the TyG Index and carotid plaque. Subgroup and interaction analyses were validated for the consistency of these correlations. RESULTS Following the adjustment of traditional carotid plaque risk factors, the non-linear relationship between the TyG Index and carotid plaque was investigated. Using a two-piecewise regression model, we calculated the inflection point to be 9.06. The OR and 95% CIs for the inflection points on the left and right sides were 1.70 (1.27 to 2.29) and 0.88 (0.52 to 1.47), respectively. According to the variables tested, the interactions between the TyG Index and all subgroup factors were analysed and significant interactions were not observed. CONCLUSION In individuals who underwent a comprehensive check-up in Japan, the relationship between the TyG Index and carotid plaque is non-linear. When the TyG Index is less than 9.06, it is associated with carotid plaque.

Abstract
Insulin resistance (IR) is associated with cardiovascular disease in non-diabetic patients. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, incorporating serum glucose and insulin concentrations, is a surrogate insulin resistance marker. We investigated its association with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) and sex differences therein. Patients with stable angina pectoris requiring invasive coronary angiography between January 2010 and December 2018 were enrolled. They were divided into two groups according to TyG index. Two interventional cardiologists diagnosed obstructive CAD by angiography review. Demographic characteristics and clinical outcomes were compared between groups. Relative to lower index, patients with higher (≥ 8.60) TyG index had higher BMIs and more prevalent hypertension, diabetes, and elevated lipid profiles [total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglycerides (TG), fasting plasma glucose (FPG)]. Higher TyG index increased women's obstructive CAD risk after multivariate adjustment (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.15, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.08-4.26, p = 0.02) in non-diabetic populations compared with men. No sex difference was found for diabetic patients. Higher TyG index significantly increased the obstructive CAD risk, overall and for non-diabetic women. Larger-scale studies are needed to confirm our findings.

Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:130. [PMID: 37254140 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-01847-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been recognized as being an alternative cardiometabolic biomarker for insulin resistance associated with the development and prognosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the prospective relationship between baseline and long-term trajectories of the TyG index and carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) progression has yet to be investigated. METHODS This longitudinal prospective cohort study included 10,380 adults with multiple general health checks at Peking University Third Hospital from January 2011 to December 2020. The TyG index was calculated as ln (fasting triglyceride [mg/dL] × fasting glucose [mg/dL]/2). The latent class trajectory modeling method was used to analyze the TyG index trajectories over the follow-up. Based on univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards analyses, hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for the baseline and trajectory of the TyG index. RESULTS During a median follow-up period of 757 days, 1813 participants developed CAS progression. Each 1-standard deviation (SD) increase in the TyG index was associated with a 7% higher risk of CAS progression after adjusting for traditional CVD risk factors (HR = 1.067, 95% CI 1.006-1.132). Similar results were observed when the TyG index was expressed as quartiles. According to different trajectory patterns, participants were categorized into low-stable, moderate-stable, and high-increasing groups. After multivariate adjustment, the moderate-stable group had a 1.139-fold (95% CI 1.021-1.272) risk of CAS progression. The high-increasing trajectory of the TyG index tended to be associated with CAS progression (HR = 1.206, 95% CI 0.961-1.513). CONCLUSIONS Participants with higher baseline and moderate-stable trajectory of the TyG index were associated with CAS progression. Long-term trajectories of the TyG index can help to identify individuals at a higher risk of CAS progression who deserve specific preventive and therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride and glucose (TyG) index has been linked to various cardiovascular diseases. However, it's still unclear whether the TyG index is associated with arterial stiffness and coronary artery calcification (CAC). METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of relevant studies until September 2022 in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases. We used a random-effects model to calculate the pooled effect estimate and the robust error meta-regression method to summarize the exposure-effect relationship. RESULTS Twenty-six observational studies involving 87,307 participants were included. In the category analysis, the TyG index was associated with the risk of arterial stiffness (odds ratio [OR]: 1.83; 95% CI 1.55-2.17, I2 = 68%) and CAC (OR: 1.66; 95% CI 1.51-1.82, I2 = 0). The per 1-unit increment in the TyG index was also associated with an increased risk of arterial stiffness (OR: 1.51, 95% CI 1.35-1.69, I2 = 82%) and CAC (OR: 1.73, 95% CI 1.36-2.20, I2 = 51%). Moreover, a higher TyG index was shown to be a risk factor for the progression of CAC (OR = 1.66, 95% CI 1.21-2.27, I2 = 0, in category analysis, OR = 1.47, 95% CI 1.29-1.68, I2 = 41% in continuity analysis). There was a positive nonlinear association between the TyG index and the risk of arterial stiffness (Pnonlinearity < 0.001). CONCLUSION An elevated TyG index is associated with an increased risk of arterial stiffness and CAC. Prospective studies are needed to assess causality.

Association between triglyceride glucose-body mass index and cardiovascular outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: a retrospective study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:75. [PMID: 36997935 PMCID: PMC10064664 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-01794-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 37.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 04/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI index) has been considered a reliable surrogate measure of insulin resistance; however, its ability to predict the incidence of cardiovascular disease in individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD) remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the correlation between the TyG-BMI index and cardiovascular incidence. METHODS A total of 2533 consecutive participants who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation were included. Data from 1438 patients was analyzed in the study. The endpoint was defined as a composite of acute myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, stroke, and all-cause mortality (major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events, MACCEs) at 34-month follow-up. The formula for calculating the TyG-BMI index is ln [fasting triglyceride (mg/dL) × fasting blood glucose (mg/dL)/2] × BMI. RESULTS Among the 1438 participants, 195 incident patient cases of MACCEs were ascertained. The incidence of MACCEs showed no statistically significant differences in the TyG-BMI index tertiles in the overall population. Further exploratory subgroup analysis and multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed a linear relationship between the TyG-BMI index (per 1 SD increased) and MACCEs in the elderly patients (OR = 1.22, 95% CI 1.011-1.467, p = 0.038) and in the female patients (OR = 1.33, 95% CI 1.004-1.764, p = 0.047). The addition of the TyG-BMI index to traditional risk factor models in elderly and female patients did not improve risk prediction for MACCEs. CONCLUSION A higher TyG-BMI index was proportionally related to an increased incidence of MACCEs in the elderly or female patients. However, the inclusion of the TyG-BMI index did not provide better predictive performance for MACCEs in the elderly, specifically in female patients.

[PMID: 36897703 PMCID: PMC9997783 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000033194] [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: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have shown a strong association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a simple marker of insulin resistance, and various metabolic diseases. We performed a systematic review of the interaction between the TyG index and arterial stiffness. METHODS Relevant observational studies assessing the association between the TyG index and arterial stiffness were thoroughly searched in PubMed, Embase, and Scopus, and a manual search of the preprint server was conducted. A random-effects model was utilized to analyze the data. The risk of bias for the included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. A pooled effect size estimate with a random-effects model was used for the meta-analysis. RESULTS Thirteen observational studies comprising 48,332 subjects were included. Of these, 2 were prospective cohort studies, and the remaining 11 were cross-sectional studies. According to the results of the analysis, the risk of developing high arterial stiffness was 1.85 times greater for those in the highest TyG index subgroup versus the lowest group (risk ratio [RR]: 1.85, 95% confidence interval: 1.54-2.33, I2 = 70%, P < .001). Consistent results were observed when the index was analyzed as a continuous variable (RR: 1.46, 95% confidence interval: 1.32-1.61, I2 = 77%, P < .001). A sensitivity analysis excluding each of the studies one by one yielded similar results (RRs for categorical variables: 1.67-1.94, P all <.001; RRs for continuous variables: 1.37-1.48, P all <.001). A subgroup analysis showed that different characteristics of the study subjects, such as type of study design, age, population, disease status, (including hypertension and diabetes), and pulse wave velocity measurement methods had no substantial effect on the results (P for subgroup analysis, all >0.05). CONCLUSIONS A relatively high TyG index might be linked to an increased incidence of arterial stiffness.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1100399. [PMID: 36814584 PMCID: PMC9939475 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1100399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Background In previous studies, the TyG index (triglyceride-glucose index) has been proven to be closely associated with the prognosis of cardiovascular disease. However, the impact of TyG index on the prognosis of patients with ischemic HF (heart failure) undergoing PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) is still unclear. Method In this study, 2055 patients with ischemic HF were retrospectively enrolled and classified into four groups based on quartiles of the TyG index. The primary endpoint was MACE (major adverse cardiovascular events) consisting of all-cause mortality, non-fatal MI (myocardial infarction), and any revascularization. The incidence of the endpoints among the four groups was assessed through Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. The independent correlation between TyG index and endpoints was analyzed with multivariate Cox regression models. Besides, the RCS (restricted cubic spline) analysis was performed to examine the nonlinear relationship between TyG index and MACE. Result The incidence of MACE was significantly higher in participants with a higher TyG index. The positive association between the TyG index and MACE was also confirmed in the Kaplan-Meier survival analyses. Multivariate cox proportional hazards analysis indicated that the TyG index was independently associated with the increased risk of MACE, regardless of whether TyG was a continuous [TyG, per 1-unit increase, HR (hazard ratio) 1.41, 95% CI (confidence interval) 1.22-1.62, P < 0.001] or categorical variable [quartile of TyG, the HR (95% CI) values for quartile 4 was 1.92 (1.48-2.49), with quartile 1 as a reference]. In addition, the nonlinear association of TyG index with MACE was shown through RCS model and the risk of MACE increased as the TyG index increased in general (Nonlinear p=0.0215). Besides, no obvious interaction was found in the association of TyG with MACE between the DM (diabetes mellitus) group and the no-DM group. Conclusion Among patients with ischemic HF undergoing PCI, the TyG index was correlated with MACE independently and positively.

Abstract
Objectives: To examine the association between visit-to-visit blood pressure variability (BPV) and incident diabetes mellitus (DM) risk in a Chinese population. Methods: Data comes from China Health and Nutrition Survey (n = 15,084). BPV was estimated as the average real variability (ARV) using at least three BP measurements from the year preceding the event and was divided into quartiles. Participants were also categorized into 9 groups on the basis of combinations of systolic BPV (SBPV) and diastolic BPV (DBPV) tertiles. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used. Results: During a median follow-up of 16.8 years, 1,030 (6.8%) participants developed diabetes (incidence rate: 4.65/1,000 person-years). The HRs (95% CIs) for the highest quartile (vs. the lowest quartile) of SBPV and DBPV were 1.60 (1.30-1.97) and 1.37 (1.13-1.67), respectively. Participants with both highest SBPV and DBPV tertile had an ≈89% higher risk of DM (HR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.47-2.42) compared with those in the both SBPV and DBPV tertile 1 group. Conclusion: Higher SBP ARV and DBP ARV were independently associated with increased risk of incident DM, which was augmented when both presented together.

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.

Association of triglyceride-glucose index with ischemic stroke recurrence in nondiabetic patients with small vessel occlusion: a multicenter hospital-based prospective cohort study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2022; 21:250. [PMID: 36397084 PMCID: PMC9673408 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-022-01693-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a simple and reliable surrogate marker of insulin resistance. Elevated TyG index was related to stroke recurrence. This study aimed to explore the associations between TyG index with ischemic stroke recurrence in nondiabetic patients with small vessel occlusion. METHODS From November 1, 2016 to February 28, 2021, consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients admitted within 1 week after onset were screened. The stroke mechanism was determined based on medical history, laboratory examinations, cardiac examinations, vascular examinations and neuroimaging. Nondiabetic patients with small vessel occlusion were enrolled and followed up for 1 year. The primary outcome was ischemic stroke recurrence. Logistic regression and Kaplan-Meier survival curve were used to analyze the association of the TyG index and stroke recurrence. RESULTS A total of 6100 acute ischemic stroke patients were screened, with 1970 nondiabetic patients with small vessel occlusion included and divided into 4 groups according to the TyG index quartiles (Q1: < 8.20; Q2: 8.20-8.53; Q3: 8.54-8.92; Q4: > 8.92). There were significant differences in age, body mass index, systolic blood pression, diastolic blood pressure, lipid-lowering agents, infarct location, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, uric acid, and stroke recurrence among the 4 groups. In the multi-adjusted models, compared to Q1 of the TyG index, the odds ratio for Q4 of the TyG index for stroke recurrence was 3.100 (1.366-8.019). The Kaplan-Meier survival (ischemic stroke-free) curves by quartiles of the TyG index also showed statistically significant differences (log-rank test, P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggested that the TyG index was associated with ischemic stroke recurrence in nondiabetic patients with small vessel occlusion, and it could be a valuable biomarker for assessing the risk of ischemic stroke recurrence in these patients.

Abstract
Arterial stiffness is a reliable independent predictor of cardiovascular events. Exercise training might enhance arterial compliance through improved metabolic health status. Different modes of exercise may have different effects on arterial stiffness. However, the interactions among different modes of exercise on endothelial senescence, the development of arterial vascular stiffness, and the associated molecular mechanisms are not completely understood. In this narrative review, we evaluate the current evidence focusing on the effects of various exercise modes on arterial stiffness and vascular health, and the known underlying physiological mechanisms are discussed as well. Here, we discuss the most recent evidence of aerobic exercise, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and resistance exercise (RE) on arterial stiffness and endothelial senescence in physiological and cellular studies. Indeed, aerobic, HIIT, and progression RE-induced arterial compliance may reduce arterial stiffness by effectively promoting nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability and reducing endothelial senescence. However, the transient increase in inflammation and sympathetic activation may contribute to the temporary elevation in arterial stiffness following whole-body high-intensity acute resistance exercise.

Triglyceride-glucose index and non-culprit coronary plaque characteristics assessed by optical coherence tomography in patients following acute coronary syndrome: A cross-sectional study. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:1019233. [PMID: 36312238 PMCID: PMC9596751 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.1019233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2022] [Accepted: 09/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a novel surrogate marker of insulin resistance, has been demonstrated to be significantly associated with cardiovascular disease. It remains indistinct regarding the association between TyG index and non-culprit coronary plaque characteristics in patients following acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods The present study retrospectively recruited patients who were diagnosed with ACS and underwent non-culprit optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination. The study population was divided into 2 groups based on the median of TyG index, which was calculated as Ln [fasting triglyceride (TG) (mg/dL) × fasting blood glucose (FBG) (mg/dL)/2]. The non-culprit plaque characteristics were determined by interpreting OCT images in accordance with the standard of previous consensus. Results 110 patients (54.8 ± 12.1 years, 24.5% female) with 284 non-culprit plaques were included in the current analysis. TyG index was closely associated with high-risk plaque characteristics. Elevated TyG index was consistent to be an independent indicator for thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) [odds ratio (OR) for per 1-unit increase 4.940, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.652–14.767, P = 0.004; OR for taking lower median as reference 2.747, 95% CI 1.234–7.994, P = 0.011] and ruptured plaque (OR for per 1–unit increase 7.065, 95% CI 1.910–26.133, P = 0.003; OR for taking lower median as reference 4.407, 95% CI 1.208–16.047, P = 0.025) in fully adjusted model. The predictive value of TyG index for TCFA and ruptured plaque was moderate–to–high, with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.754 and 0.699 respectively. The addition of TyG index into a baseline model exhibited an incremental effect on the predictive value for TCFA, manifested as an increased AUC (0.681, 95% CI 0.570–0.793 vs. 0.782, 95% CI 0.688–0.877, P = 0.042), and significant continuous net reclassification improvement (0.346, 95% CI 0.235–0.458, P < 0.001) and integrated discrimination improvement (0.221, 95% CI 0.017–0.425, P = 0.034). TyG index failed to play an incremental effect on predicting ruptured plaque. Conclusion TyG index, which is simply calculated from fasting TG and FBG, can be served as an important and independent risk predictor for high-risk non-culprit coronary plaques in patients following ACS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index has been suggested as a reliable surrogate marker of insulin resistance which is a substantial risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Several recent studies have shown the relationship between the TyG index and cardiovascular disease; however, the role of the TyG index in coronary artery calcification (CAC) progression has not been extensively assessed especially in low-risk population. METHODS We enrolled 5775 Korean adults who had at least two CAC evaluations. We determined the TyG index using ln (fasting triglycerides [mg/dL] x fasting glucose [mg/dL]/2). The CAC progression was defined as either incident CAC in a CAC-free population at baseline or an increase of ≥ 2.5 units between the square roots of the baseline and follow-up coronary artery calcium scores (CACSs) of subjects with detectable CAC at baseline. RESULTS CAC progression was seen in 1,382 subjects (23.9%) during mean 3.5 years follow-up. Based on the TyG index, subjects were stratified into four groups. Follow-up CACS and incidence of CAC progression were markedly elevated with rising TyG index quartiles (group I [lowest]:17.6% vs. group II:22.2% vs. group III:24.6% vs. group IV [highest]: 31.3%, p < 0.001). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the TyG index was independent predictor of CAC progression (odds ratio: 1.57; 95% confidence interval: 1.33 to 1.81; p < 0.001) especially in baseline CACS ≤ 100 group. CONCLUSION The TyG index is an independent predictor of CAC progression in low-risk population. It adds incremental risk stratification over established factors including baseline CACS.

Triglyceride-glucose index is associated with quantitative flow ratio in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:1002030. [PMID: 36158820 PMCID: PMC9493184 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.1002030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a novel marker representing the degree of insulin resistance (IR) and is closely related to cardiovascular diseases. However, the association between the TyG index and vascular function in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unknown. Materials and methods This study was a post hoc analysis of a multicenter, prospective cohort study. In this study, patients with STEMI who underwent PCI were included, and coronary angiography data were analyzed by Quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) and quantitative flow ratio (QFR). In addition, the TyG index was calculated as follows: Ln [fasting triglyceride (mg/dl) × fasting blood glucose (mg/dl) × 1/2]. According to the post-PCI QFR, patients were divided into two groups: post-PCI QFR ≤ 0.92 group and post-PCI QFR > 0.92 group. Construction of logistic regression model to explore the relationship between the TyG index and post-PCI QFR. Results A total of 241 STEMI patients were included in this study. Compared with patients in the post-PCI QFR > 0.92 group, the TyG index was higher in the post-PCI QFR ≤ 0.92 group. Logistic regression model showed that after adjusting for other confounding factors, the TyG index was positively correlated with the risk of post-PCI QFR ≤ 0.92 (OR = 1.697, 95% CI 1.171–2.460, P = 0.005). Restricted cubic splines showed the cutoff value of TyG index associated with post-PCI QFR ≤ 0.92 risk was 9.75. Conclusion The TyG index was associated with the risk of post-PCI QFR ≤ 0.92 in STEMI patients. The risk of post-PCI QFR ≤ 0.92 increased when the TyG index exceeded 9.75.

Association of hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a cross-sectional study in a Chinese population. Hormones (Athens) 2022; 21:437-446. [PMID: 35597838 DOI: 10.1007/s42000-022-00374-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2021] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the association between hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) phenotype and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a middle- to older-aged Chinese population. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, a total of 9015 participants (age 40-79 years) were recruited and grouped into four phenotypes, as follows: NWNT: normal waist-normal triglyceride; NWET: normal waist-elevated triglycerides; EWNT: elevated waist-normal triglycerides; and hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW). Logistic regression analysis was carried out to assess the associations between HTGW phenotype and NAFLD. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn to evaluate the utility of waist circumference-triglyceride index (WTI) as a reference factor for screening for NAFLD. RESULTS HTGW phenotype had a higher prevalence of NAFLD (53.3%), diabetes (19.6%), and hypertension (79.8%) than the other three subgroups. After adjusting for age, sex, and BMI, HTGW phenotype was associated with NAFLD (odds ratio (OR) 6.12; 95% confidence interval (CI) 5.11-7.32). Further adjusted for potential confounders, the HTGW phenotype was still significantly associated with NAFLD (adjusted OR 5.18; 95% CI 4.30-6.23) regardless of gender. The subgroup analyses generally revealed similar associations across all subgroups. ROC curve analysis showed that when the maximum area under the curve was 0.748, the WTI was 90.1, and the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 90.6 and 59.5%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS HTGW phenotype is strongly associated with NAFLD and can be used as a reference factor for NAFLD screening.

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
Objective We aimed to explore the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a marker of insulin resistance (IR), and vascular target organ damage (TOD) in a Beijing community-based population, China. Methods A total of 6,015 participants from an atherosclerosis cohort survey performed in the Shijingshan District in Beijing, China were included in our analysis. Vascular TOD, such as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), and the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) were all evaluated. Results The overall mean age of all the participants was 62.35 years, 3,951 (65.69%) were female, and mean TyG index was 8.81. In univariable regression analyzes, an increased TyG index was associated with higher cfPWV, baPWV, lnUACR, and higher risk of cfPWV ≥ 10 m/s, baPWV ≥ 1,800 cm/s, and UACR ≥ 30 mg/g, respectively. Multivariable regression analyzes showed subjects with the TyG index in top tertile had a significant increase in cfPWV (β = 0.29 m/s; 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.19-0.40; p fortrend < 0.001), baPWV (β = 69.28 cm/s; 95% CI 50.97-87.59; p fortrend < 0.001), lnUACR (β = 0.23; 95% CI 0.13-0.34; p fortrend < 0.001), and had a higher risk of cfPWV ≥ 10 m/s (odds ratio [OR] = 1.47; 95% CI 1.17-1.85; p fortrend < 0.001), baPWV ≥ 1,800 cm/s (OR = 1.79; 95% CI 1.48-2.17; p fortrend < 0.001), and UACR ≥ 30 mg/g (OR = 1.71; 95% CI 1.30-2.24; p fortrend < 0.001) after fully adjusting for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), self-reported coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, antihypertensive drugs, hypoglycemic drugs, and lipid-lowering drugs. Consistent conclusions were obtained in the subgroups without hypoglycemic and lipid-lowering medications or aged younger than 65 years old. Conclusions The TyG index was positively associated with artery stiffness and nephric microvascular damage in a Beijing community-based population in China. This result provides evidence that the TyG index may serve as a simple and effective indicator to reflect vascular TOD.

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
PURPOSE Pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome is an age-related disease characterized by the accumulation of extracellular material in many ocular structures, skin and internal organs. Recent studies have shown that the Triglyceride-Glucose (TyG) index has clinical importance for the evaluation of vascular damage. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between PEX syndrome and TyG index, and to detect the risk in terms of vascular diseases. METHODS In the present study, 50 patients with PEX syndrome who were admitted to the ophthalmology outpatient clinic were evaluated along with 50 others who made up the control group. The Triglyceride-Glucose index was calculated with fasting plasma glucose and triglyceride values. RESULTS The mean age was 68.2 ± 1.2 years and 61.0% of the patients were male. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of blood sugar and lipid profile (except triglyceride) (p > 0.05). The TyG index value was 8.9 ± 0.5 in the PEX group and 8.6 ± 0.6 in the control group. This difference was statistically significant (p = 0.003). In univariate regression analysis, TyG index (OR = 2.81; CI: 1.37-5.75; p = 0.005) was found to be correlated with PEX. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, this correlation remained statistically significant when adjusted for age and sex (OR = 2.89; CI: 1.35-6.18; p = 0.006). CONCLUSION Results showed that the TyG index was high in patients diagnosed with PEX. The risk of vascular diseases can be determined by examining the TyG index in patients with PEX, and this predetermination would have significant consequences for public health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term patterns of the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) and their effects on cardiovascular disease (CVD) among normal-weight adults are poorly characterized. This study aimed to identify TyG index trajectories in normal-weight adults and to determine their association with the risk of incident CVD. METHODS This study included 40,473 normal-weight participants who were free of stroke and myocardial infarction prior to or in 2012. The TyG index was calculated as ln (fasting triglyceride [mg/dL] × fasting glucose [mg/dL]/2), and the TyG index trajectories during 2006-2012 were identified by latent mixture modeling. RESULTS We identified five distinct TyG index trajectories according to TyG index range and changing pattern over time: low-stable (n = 9,806; mean TyG index 7.84-7.93), moderate-stable (n = 22,066; mean TyG index 8.43-8.52), high-decreasing (n = 1,469; mean TyG index 9.83-8.75), moderate-increasing (n = 5,842; mean TyG index 8.98-9.26), and high-stable (n = 1,290; mean TyG index 9.91-10.07). During 6.74 years of follow-up, we documented 1,577 incident CVD events. Compared with the low-stable pattern, the highest risk of CVD was observed in the high-stable pattern (hazard ratio [HR], 2.24; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.73-2.90), followed by the moderate-increasing pattern (HR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.43-2.04), the high-decreasing pattern (HR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.11-1.89), and the moderate-stable pattern (HR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.08-1.44). Similar results were also observed for stroke and myocardial infarction. CONCLUSIONS Distinct TyG index trajectories were significantly associated differently subsequent risk of CVD in normal-weight individuals. These observations suggested that long-term trajectories of TyG index may be useful for predicting CVD among normal-weight adults.

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

Abstract
Background This study explored the relationship between the TyG index/serum uric acid (SUA) panel and myocardial revascularization (MRT) for new-onset acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Methods Between January 2011 and July 2020, 13,271 new-onset ACS patients were enrolled. The logistic regression models and the odds ratios (ORs) were used to quantify the risk of TyG index/SUA and MRT. Then, interaction analyses of TyG index and SUA on MRT were applied. Results Elevated TyG index was positively associated higher risks of MRT. However, SUA levels were negatively associated with MRT. Compared with those in the lowest quartile, the risk of MRT increased gradually among patients in Q1 of the SUA category (OR = 1.03, 1.11, and 1.28 for Q2, Q3, and Q4 of TyG index, respectively), Q2 of the SUA category (OR = 1.41, 1.68, and 2.18 for Q2, Q3, and Q4 of TyG index, respectively), Q3 of the SUA category (OR = 1.05, 1.45, and 1.45 for Q2, Q3, and Q4 of TyG index, respectively), and Q4 of the SUA category (OR = 1.20, 1.29, and 1.46 for Q2, Q3, and Q4 of TyG index, respectively). This pattern was observed in both male and female, as well as patients without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Conclusion Patients with a higher TyG index have a higher proportion of MRT in new-onset ACS. This result also applies to patients with different levels of SUA during new-onset ACS.

[PMID: 35102177 PMCID: PMC8803886 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-05467-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2021] [Accepted: 01/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) remains the cornerstone of recanalization therapy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS), albeit with varying degrees of response. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a novel marker of insulin resistance, but association with outcomes among AIS patients who have received tPA has not been well elucidated. We studied 698 patients with AIS who received tPA from 2006 to 2018 in a comprehensive stroke centre. TyG index was calculated using the formula: ln[fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. TyG index was significantly lower in patients that survived at 90-days than those who died (8.61 [Interquartile Range: 8.27-8.99] vs 8.76 [interquartile range: 8.39-9.40], p = 0.007). In multivariate analysis, TyG index was significantly associated with 90-day mortality (OR: 2.12, 95% CI: 1.39-3.23, p = 0.001), poor functional outcome (OR: 1.41 95% CI: 1.05-1.90, p = 0.022), and negatively associated with early neurological improvement (ENI) (OR: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.52-0.89, p = 0.004). There was no association between TyG index and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage. 'High TyG' (defined by TyG index ≥ 9.15) was associated with mortality, poor functional outcomes and no ENI. In conclusion, the TyG index, a measure of insulin resistance, was significantly associated with poorer clinical outcomes in AIS patients who received tPA.

Abstract
Purpose The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a widely accessible measure, has been a surrogate indicator of peripheral insulin resistance, and its clinical importance continues to grow in East Asia. We hypothesized that the TyG index is relevant to subclinical white matter hypersensitivities (WMHs) of presumed vascular origin among community-dwelling Koreans. Methods We investigated the relationship between the TyG index and WMHs on brain magnetic resonance imaging scans in 2417 Koreans over 45 years of age without a history of cancer, stroke, or ischemic heart disease. The study population was divided into four groups according to the TyG index quartiles. Using multiple logistic regression analysis, we assessed the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for WMHs across the TyG index quartiles. Results The prevalence of WMHs was significantly higher in the fourth TyG index quartile, with an overall rate of 9.3%. After adjusting for potential confounding variables, the ORs of WMHs for the TyG index quartiles were 1.00, 1.47 (95% CI, 0.91–2.40), 1.76 (95% CI, 1.05–2.97), and 6.79 (95% CI, 3.85–1.54), respectively. Conclusion We found that higher TyG index values were associated with the brain’s WMHs of presumed vascular origin. Our findings suggest that the serum TyG index could be an additional valuable biomarker for assessing the risk of cerebral small vessel disease in the preclinical stage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) associates with the risk of arterial stiffness, and such association can be found between fasting blood glucose (FBG), postprandial blood glucose (PBG), triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index), and arterial stiffness. However, the results were inconsistent, longitudinal studies were sparse, and comparison of these glycemic parameters was less conducted. We aimed to explore the longitudinal relationship between HbA1c and arterial stiffness and compare the effect of the parameters. METHODS Data were collected from 2011 to 2019 in Beijing Health Management Cohort (BHMC) study. Cox proportional hazard models were fitted to investigate the association between the parameters and arterial stiffness. A generalized estimation equation (GEE) analysis was conducted to investigate the effect of repeated measurements of glycemic parameters. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to compare the predictive value of glycemic parameters for arterial stiffness. RESULTS Among 3,048 subjects, 591 were diagnosed as arterial stiffness during the follow-up. The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) [95% confidence interval (CI)] for arterial stiffness of the highest quartile group of HbA1c was 1.63 (1.22-2.18), which was higher than those of FBG, PBG, and TyG index. The nonlinear association of arterial stiffness with HbA1c and PBG was proved. The robust results of the sensitivity analysis were obtained. CONCLUSIONS HbA1c is an important risk factor of arterial stiffness compared with PBG, FBG, and TyG index, and has a strong predictive ability for arterial stiffness among non-diabetics and the general population.

Abstract
The data on the relationship between insulin resistance and vascular ageing are limited. The aim of this study was to explore the association of different indices of insulin resistance with vascular ageing in an adult Caucasian population without cardiovascular disease. We selected 501 individuals without cardiovascular disease (mean age: 55.9 years, 50.3% women) through random sampling stratified by sex and age. Arterial stiffness was evaluated by measuring the carotid-to-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and brachial-to-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). The participants were classified into three groups according to the degree of vascular ageing: early vascular ageing (EVA), normal vascular ageing (NVA) and healthy vascular ageing (HVA). Insulin resistance was evaluated with the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and another five indices. The prevalence of HVA and EVA was 8.4% and 21.4%, respectively, when using cfPWV, and 7.4% and 19.2%, respectively, when using baPWV. The deterioration of vascular ageing, with both measurements, presented as an increase in all the analysed indices of insulin resistance. In the multiple regression analysis and logistic regression analysis, the indices of insulin resistance showed a positive association with cfPWV and baPWV and with EVA.

Abstract
AIM The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) is proposed as a surrogate parameter for insulin resistance (IR) and, when elevated, is related to increased cardiovascular risks. Whether the TyG index is of great value in predicting adverse prognosis for individuals diagnosed with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS), who received elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and without recognized diabetes remains unclear. METHODS Overall, 1,510 subjects diagnosed with NSTE-ACS, who received elective PCI, and without recognized diabetes were enrolled in the current study. All participants received a routine follow-up after discharge. The TyG index was obtained from the following equation: napierian logarithmic (ln) [fasting triglyceride (TG, mg/dL)×fasting blood glucose (FBG, mg/dL)/2]. Adverse cardiovascular events included all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), nonfatal ischemic stroke, and ischemia-driven revascularization, composite of which was defined as the primary endpoint. RESULTS Overall, 316 (20.9%) endpoint events were documented during a 48-month follow-up. Despite adjusting for confounding variates, the TyG index remains to be a significant risk predictor for the primary endpoint, with a hazard ratio (HR) [95% confidence interval (CI)] of 2.433 (1.853-3.196) (P<0.001). A significant enhancement on the predictive performance for the primary endpoint emerged when adding the TyG index into a baseline model [area under the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), 0.835 for baseline model vs. 0.853 for baseline model+TyG index, P<0.001; net reclassification improvement (NRI), 0.194, P<0.001; integrated discrimination improvement (IDI), 0.023, P=0.007]. CONCLUSIONS The TyG index is an independent risk predictor for adverse cardiovascular events in nondiabetic subjects diagnosed with NSTE-ACS and who received elective PCI. Further prospective studies are needed to verify these findings.

Abstract
Background: The population of older adults is growing rapidly with the increasing pace of aging worldwide. The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index has been a convenient and reliable surrogate marker of insulin resistance (IR). This study aimed to determine the association between the TyG index and arterial stiffness assessed by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) in Chinese older adults. Methods: A total of 2,035 participants aged 60 years or above were enrolled. Demographic, anthropometric, and cardiovascular risk factors were collected. TyG index was calculated using ln (fasting triglycerides [mg/dL] × fasting glucose [mg/dL]/2). Arterial stiffness was measured using baPWV. Results: The participants, with the mean [standard deviation (SD)] age of 71.32 (6.75) years, the female proportion of 39.65%, the mean (SD) baPWV of 1,998 (437) cm/s, and the mean (SD) TyG index of 8.86 (0.54), were divided into four groups according to TyG index quartiles. Age-adjusted baPWV presented an increasing trend according to TyG index quartiles. In the fully adjusted linear regression model, the baPWV increased 49 cm/s, with the 95% confidence interval (CI) from 24 to 75 cm/s, per-SD increase in the TyG index. In the fully-adjusted logistic regression model, the odds ratio (95% CI) of high baPWV (>75th percentile) was 1.32 (1.09, 1.60) for each SD increase in the TyG index. The generalized additive model analysis also confirmed the significant association of the TyG index with baPWV and high baPWV. Conclusion: The TyG index is significantly associated with arterial stiffness assessed by baPWV in Chinese older adults.

Abstract
Lipids, which along with carbohydrates and proteins are among the most important nutrients for the living organism, have a variety of biological functions that can be applied widely in biomedicine. A fatty acid, the most fundamental biological lipid, may be classified by length of its aliphatic chain, and the short-, medium-, and long-chain fatty acids and each have distinct biological activities with therapeutic relevance. For example, short-chain fatty acids have immune regulatory activities and could be useful against autoimmune disease; medium-chain fatty acids generate ketogenic metabolites and may be used to control seizure; and some metabolites oxidized from long-chain fatty acids could be used to treat metabolic disorders. Glycerolipids play important roles in pathological environments, such as those of cancers or metabolic disorders, and thus are regarded as a potential therapeutic target. Phospholipids represent the main building unit of the plasma membrane of cells, and play key roles in cellular signaling. Due to their physical properties, glycerophospholipids are frequently used as pharmaceutical ingredients, in addition to being potential novel drug targets for treating disease. Sphingolipids, which comprise another component of the plasma membrane, have their own distinct biological functions and have been investigated in nanotechnological applications such as drug delivery systems. Saccharolipids, which are derived from bacteria, have endotoxin effects that stimulate the immune system. Chemically modified saccharolipids might be useful for cancer immunotherapy or as vaccine adjuvants. This review will address the important biological function of several key lipids and offer critical insights into their potential therapeutic applications.

[PMID: 34271940 PMCID: PMC8285795 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-021-01342-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 85] [Impact Index Per Article: 28.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2021] [Accepted: 07/09/2021] [Indexed: 02/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a simple surrogate marker of insulin resistance, has been reported to be associated with arterial stiffness. However, previous studies were limited by the cross-sectional design. The purpose of this study was to explore the longitudinal association between TyG index and progression of arterial stiffness. METHODS A total of 6028 participants were derived from the Kailuan study. TyG index was calculated as ln [fasting triglyceride (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Arterial stiffness was measured using brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). Arterial stiffness progression was assessed by the annual growth rate of repeatedly measured baPWV. Multivariate linear regression models were used to estimate the cross-sectional association of TyG index with baPWV, and Cox proportional hazard models were used to investigate the longitudinal association between TyG index and the risk of arterial stiffness. RESULTS Multivariate linear regression analyses showed that each one unit increase in the TyG index was associated with a 39 cm/s increment (95%CI, 29-48 cm/s, P < 0.001) in baseline baPWV and a 0.29 percent/year increment (95%CI, 0.17-0.42 percent/year, P < 0.001) in the annual growth rate of baPWV. During 26,839 person-years of follow-up, there were 883 incident cases with arterial stiffness. Participants in the highest quartile of TyG index had a 58% higher risk of arterial stiffness (HR, 1.58; 95%CI, 1.25-2.01, P < 0.001), as compared with those in the lowest quartile of TyG index. Additionally, restricted cubic spline analysis showed a significant dose-response relationship between TyG index and the risk of arterial stiffness (P non-linearity = 0.005). CONCLUSION Participants with a higher TyG index were more likely to have a higher risk of arterial stiffness. Subjects with a higher TyG index should be aware of the following risk of arterial stiffness progression, so as to establish lifestyle changes at an early stage.

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

Cardiovasc Diabetol 2021; 20:134. [PMID: 34229681 PMCID: PMC8262008 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-021-01330-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 61] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2021] [Accepted: 06/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Cross-sectional studies have reported that insulin resistance (IR) is associated with arterial stiffness. However, the relationship between IR and arterial stiffness progression remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the association of triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio with arterial stiffness progression in a non-normotensive population. Methods A total of 1895 prehypertensive (systolic pressure 120–139 mmHg or diastolic pressure 80–90 mmHg) or hypertensive (systolic pressure ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic pressure ≥ 90 mmHg or using antihypertensive medication) participants were enrolled in 2013 and 2014, and followed until December 31, 2019. Arterial stiffness progression was measured by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) change (absolute difference between baseline and last follow-up), baPWV change rate (change divided by following years), and baPWV slope (regression slope between examination year and baPWV). Results During a median follow-up of 4.71 years, we observed an increasing trend of baPWV in the population. There were linear and positive associations of the TyG index and TG/HDL-C ratio with the three baPWV parameters. The difference (95% CI) in baPWV change (cm/s) comparing participants in the highest quartile versus the lowest of TyG index and TG/HDL-C ratio were 129.5 (58.7–200.0) and 133.4 (52.0–214.9), respectively. Similarly, the evaluated baPWV change rates (cm/s/year) were 37.6 (15.3–60.0) and 43.5 (17.8–69.2), while the slopes of baPWV were 30.6 (9.3–51.8) and 33.5 (9.0–58.0). The observed association was stronger in the hypertensive population. Conclusion Our study indicates that the TyG index and TG/HDL-C ratio are significantly associated with arterial stiffness progression in hypertensive population, not in prehypertensive population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies has shown a significant relationship between baseline triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and subsequent cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the effect of longitudinal changes in TyG index on the risk of CVD remains uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the association between change in TyG index and the risk of CVD in the general population. METHODS The current study included 62,443 Chinese population who were free of CVD. The TyG index was calculated as ln [fasting triglyceride (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2], and change in TyG index was defined as the difference between the TyG index in 2010 and that in 2006. Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models and restricted cubic spline analysis were used to examine the association between change in TyG index and the risk of CVD. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 7.01 years, 2530 (4.05%) incident CVD occurred, including 2018 (3.23%) incident stroke and 545 (0.87%) incident myocardial infarction (MI). The risk of developing CVD increased with the quartile of change in TyG index, after adjustment for multiple potential confounders, the hazard ratios for the Q4 group versus the Q1 group were 1.37 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.21-1.54) for the overall CVD, 1.38 (95% CI, 1.19-1.60) for stroke, and 1.36 (95% CI, 1.05-1.76) for MI. Restricted cubic spline analysis also showed a cumulative increase in the risk of CVD with increases in the magnitude of change in TyG index. The addition of change in TyG index to a baseline risk model for CVD improved the C-statistics (P = 0.0097), integrated discrimination improvement value (P < 0.0001), and category-free net reclassification improvement value (P < 0.0001). Similar results were observed for stroke and MI. CONCLUSIONS Substantial changes in TyG index independently predict the risk of CVD in the general population. Monitoring long-term changes in TyG may assist with in the early identification of individuals at high risk of CVD.

Abstract
Background This study was aimed to examine the effects of vitamin K2 supplementation on atherogenic status, assessed by insulin resistance (IR)-related indexes, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods In this double-blind, controlled trial, 68 patients with T2DM on the oral glucose-lowering medications were randomly allocated into two groups receiving daily intakes of 360 μg MK-7 or placebo for 12 weeks. Eight different IR-related indexes were calculated at the baseline and end of the trial. Results At the end of the study, atherogenic coefficient (mean ± SD: − 0.21 ± 0.45 vs. 0.02 ± 0.43; p = 0.043), triglyceride-glucose index (8.88 ± 0.55 vs. 9.23 ± 0.69; p = 0.029), and atherogenic index of plasma (0.37 ± 0.27 vs. 0.51 ± 0.24; p = 0.031) were significantly lower in the vitamin K2 group, compared to the placebo. However, after accounting for their baseline values, the differences were no more significant. No significant differences were observed in Castelli’s Ӏ and ӀӀ risk indexes, the ratio of triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, lipoprotein combine index, and the metabolic score for insulin resistance index between the two groups at the end of the study. Conclusions Daily intakes of 360 μg vitamin K2 in the form of MK-7 for 12 weeks could not improve the IR-related indexes of Cardiovascular Diseases risk. Trial registration The trial was registered on Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials registry (Trial ID. IRCT20190824044592N1) on 22 December 2019.

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

Abstract
The average age of the world's elderly population is steadily increasing. This unprecedented rise in the aged world population will increase the prevalence of age-related disorders such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and neurodegeneration. In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the potential interplay between CVDs and neurodegenerative syndromes, as several vascular risk factors have been associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Along these lines, arterial stiffness is an independent risk factor for both CVD and AD. In this review, we discuss several inflammaging-related disease mechanisms including acute tissue-specific inflammation, nitro-oxidative stress, impaired autophagy, and insulin resistance which may contribute to the proposed synergism between arterial stiffness and AD.

Abstract
Insulin resistance (IR), a metabolic risk factor, is linked to the pathogenetic mechanism of primary hypertension. Detecting IR in the patients with hypertension will help to predict and stratify the added cardiovascular risk, institute appropriate IR management, and manage hypertension optimally. There are many methods for assessing IR, each with distinct advantages and disadvantages. The euglycemic insulin clamp and intravenous glucose tolerance test, gold standards for measuring IR, are used in research but not in clinical practice. Homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR), a method for assessing β-cell function and IR, is frequently applied presently, particularly in Asia. Besides, the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) first published by South American authors showed a good correlation with the insulin clamp technique and HOMA-IR index. This simple, convenient, and low-cost TyG index is of research interest in many countries in Asia and can be used to screen for IR in the Asian hypertensive community.

Abstract
Background: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been reported to be a simple and reliable surrogate marker of insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between the TyG index and echocardiographic parameters including left ventricular mass (LVM), left atrial diameter (LAD) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and markers of peripheral artery disease, ankle-brachial index (ABI) and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). Methods: A total of 823 (483 males and 340 females) patients were enrolled from 2007 to 2011 at a regional hospital in southern Taiwan. Multivariable stepwise linear regression analysis was performed to identify the factors related to echocardiographic parameters and peripheral artery disease. Results: The patients were stratified into four groups according to TyG index quartile. Multivariable stepwise linear regression analysis showed that a higher TyG index was associated with elevated observed/predicted LVM (p = 0.081), increased LAD (p = 0.004), decreased LVEF (p = 0.003) and lower ABI (p = 0.030), but not observed/predicted LVM and baPWV. Conclusions: A high TyG index was significantly associated with high LAD, low LVEF and low ABI. However, the TyG index was not significantly associated with inappropriate LVM or baPWV. The results suggest that the TyG index, as a simple indicator of insulin resistance, may reflect cardiac remodeling and dysfunction and atherosclerosis.

Hong S, Han K, Park CY. The triglyceride glucose index is a simple and low-cost marker associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: a population-based study. BMC Med 2020; 18:361. [PMID: 33234146 PMCID: PMC7687762 DOI: 10.1186/s12916-020-01824-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 138] [Impact Index Per Article: 34.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2020] [Accepted: 10/22/2020] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
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.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2020; 7:591036. [PMID: 33195355 PMCID: PMC7655911 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2020.591036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2020] [Accepted: 10/05/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a reliable surrogate of insulin resistance and a marker for ischemic stroke (IS) incident. Whether the TyG index predicts stroke outcome remains uncertain. This study investigated the prognostic value of the TyG index in critically ill stroke patients. Methods: This was a retrospective observational study that included stroke patients, and all data were extracted from the eICU Collaborative Research Database. The TyG index was calculated as the ln [fasting glucose level (mg/dL) × triglyceride level (mg/dL)/2]. Outcomes included the hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) death. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine independent risk factors. The smoothing curves and forest plots were illustrated. Results: A total of 4,570 eligible subjects were enrolled. The mean level of TyG index was 9.1 ± 0.7. The hospital and ICU mortality rate were 10.3 and 5.0%, respectively. TyG index as a continuous variable was associated hospital mortality in univariate analysis (OR 1.723, 95% CI 1.524-1.948, P < 0.001), adjusted model 1 (OR 1.861, 95% CI 1637-2.116, P < 0.001), and adjusted model 2 (OR 2.543, 95% CI 1.588-4.073, P < 0.001). TyG was also associated ICU mortality in univariate analysis (OR 2.146, 95% CI 1.826-2.523, P < 0.001), adjusted model 1 (OR 2.183, 95% CI 1.847-2.580, P < 0.001), and adjusted model 2 (OR 2.672, 95% CI 1.376-5.188, P < 0.001). The smoothing curves observed a continuous linear association after adjusting all covariates both in hospital and ICU mortality. Subgroup analysis demonstrated TyG index was associated with increased risk of hospital and ICU death in critically ill IS (P < 0.05), but not in hemorrhage stroke (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The TyG index is a potential predictor for hospital and ICU mortality in critically ill stroke patients, especially in IS patients.
