Abstract
PURPOSE This retrospective study aimed to investigate the relationship between alternative insulin resistance (IR) indexes not reliant on insulin and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) incidence in a newly diagnosed cohort of individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of baseline characteristics in a cohort of 521 individuals with T2DM, then followed up on the outcome of DKD. To assess the predictive ability of IR indexes, we compared the performance of four non-insulin-based IR indexes and the homeostasis model for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) using logistic regression and consistency-statistics (C-statistics). Furthermore, we computed the net reclassification index (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) to evaluate the additional effects of the indexes. RESULTS The four alternative IR indexes of DKD patients were significantly higher than those of non-DKD. After adjustment for other variables, the highest tertile of all indexes was significantly related to DKD incidence, compared with the lowest tertile. Furthermore, the C-statistics for the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) and triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein ratio (TG/HDL) were all 0.652, while triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) and metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) were 0.639 and 0.651, respectively. The incorporation of the alternative IR indexes into the baseline model revealed positive additional effects, leading to an improved prediction of the risk for DKD. CONCLUSIONS It was discovered that the alternative IR indexes served as independent risk factors of DKD. Among the four alternative indexes, TyG index and TG/HDL had the best prediction performance for DKD, followed by METS-IR.

Association of long-term triglyceride-glucose index patterns with the incidence of chronic kidney disease among non-diabetic population: evidence from a functional community cohort. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:7. [PMID: 38172903 PMCID: PMC10765660 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-02098-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 12/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a reliable surrogate marker of insulin resistance and previous studies have confirmed the association of TyG index with incident chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the impact of longitudinal patterns of TyG index on CKD risk among non-diabetic population is still unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association of longitudinal patterns of TyG index with incident CKD among non-diabetic population. METHODS A total of 5484 non-diabetic participants who underwent one health examination per year from 2015 to 2017 were included in this prospective study. TyG index variability and cumulative TyG index were calculated to assess the longitudinal patterns of TyG index. Cox proportional hazard models were performed to estimate the association of TyG index variability or cumulative TyG index with incident CKD. RESULTS During a median of 3.82 years follow-up, 879 participants developed CKD. Compared with participants in the lowest quartile, the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of incident CKD were 1.772 (95% CI: 1.453, 2.162) for the highest TyG index variability quartile and 2.091 (95% CI: 1.646, 2.655) for the highest cumulative TyG index quartile in the fully adjusted models. The best discrimination and reclassification improvement were observed after adding baseline TyG, TyG index variability and cumulative TyG index to the clinical risk model for CKD. CONCLUSIONS Both TyG index variability and cumulative TyG index can independently predict incident CKD among non-diabetic population. Monitoring longitudinal patterns of TyG index may assist with prediction and prevention of incident CKD.

Abstract
Purpose Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a simple and reliable indicator of metabolic dysfunction. We aimed to investigate a possible relationship between TyG index and albuminuria in the United States adult population. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted among adults with complete TyG index and urinary albumin/urinary creatinine (UACR) from 2011-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The independent relationship between TyG index and albuminuria (UACR>30mg/g) was evaluated. TyG index was compared with insulin resistance represented by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and metabolic syndrome. Subgroup analysis was also performed. Results A total of 9872 participants were included in this study, and the average TyG index was 8.53 ± 0.01. The proportion of albuminuria gradually increased with the increase of TyG index quartile interval. Elevated TyG index was independently associated with albuminuria, and this association persisted after additional adjustments for HOMA-IR or dichotomous metabolic syndrome. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of TyG index was larger than that of log (HOMA-IR). Subgroup analysis suggested that the relationship between TyG index and albuminuria is of greater concern in age<60, overweight/obese, diabetic, and metabolic syndrome patients. Conclusion The TyG index may be a potential epidemiological tool to quantify the role of metabolic dysfunction, rather than just insulin resistance, in albuminuria in the United States adult population. Further large-scale prospective studies are needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract
Background Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a common microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), is always asymptomatic until it develops to the advanced stage. Thus, we aim to develop a nomogram prediction model for progression to DKD in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods This was a single-center analysis of prospective data collected from 521 newly diagnosed patients with T2DM. All related clinical records were incorporated, including the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index). The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) was used to build a prediction model. In addition, discrimination, calibration, and clinical practicality of the nomogram were evaluated. Results In this study, 156 participants were incorporated as the validation set, while the remaining 365 were incorporated into the training set. The predictive factors included in the individualized nomogram prediction model included 5 variables. The area under the curve (AUC) for the prediction model was 0.826 (95% CI 0.775 to 0.876), indicating excellent discrimination performance. The model performed exceptionally well in terms of predictive accuracy and clinical applicability, according to calibration curves and decision curve analysis. Conclusion The predictive nomogram for the risk of DKD in newly diagnosed T2DM patients had outstanding discrimination and calibration, which could help in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Nowadays, the relationship between triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is still controversial. We aimed to prospectively investigate the relationship between TyG index and CKD in a cohort and meta-analysis. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 10498 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were included. Participants were divided into four groups based on the quartiles of the TyG index. CKD was based on self-reported physicians' diagnosis or personal eGFR level. A cox regression model was established to analyze the correlation between TyG index and CKD. A meta-analysis was conducted to incorporate the results of the current study and previous studies on the association of TyG index with CKD. In multivariable-adjusted analyses, the adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) for the highest versus lowest quartile of TyG index was 1.30 (1.08-1.57). Each 1-SD higher TyG index was associated with an increased risk of 11% (HR 1.11, 95% CI 1.03-1.19). The meta-analysis further confirmed the significant associations between TyG and CKD and pooled relative risk for highest vs lowest TyG index quartile was 1.47 (1.32-1.63). CONCLUSIONS Higher TyG index was associated with increased risk of CKD, independently of established risk factors. The TyG index may be a predictor of incident CKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Testosterone decline and deficiency in males have aroused increased attention in male health management, which might have a close relationship with insulin resistance (IR). OBJECTIVES We utilized a novel and practical IR indicator, the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, to investigate the association between the TyG index and serum testosterone in US adult males. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional study based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2014 and 2015-2016. The TyG index was calculated from fasting plasma glucose and serum triglyceride, and serum testosterone was measured by isotope dilution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry in NHANES. RESULTS A total of 2186 male participants aged more than 20 years old were included, and the mean TyG index was 8.72 ± 0.71. Participants with a higher TyG index showed a lower level of total testosterone (β = -45.83, 95% CI: -58.50, -33.15, p < 0.0001) and a higher risk of testosterone deficiency (OR = 1.80, 95% CI: 1.46, 2.21, p < 0.0001) after we adjusted for all potential cofounders. Males in TyG index tertile 3 had a 113% (95% CI: 1.50, 3.02, p < 0.0001) higher risk of testosterone deficiency than those in tertile 1. Subgroup analysis stratified by diabetes condition indicated that the TyG index might be a good predictor of testosterone decline or deficiency in either people with or without diabetes. However, ROC cure analysis indicated that a larger area under the curve was found in the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (0.71, 95% CI: 0.68,0.74) than in the TyG index (0.67, 95% CI: 0.64, 0.70). CONCLUSIONS Males with a higher TyG index tended to have a higher risk of testosterone decline or even testosterone deficiency. However, the predictability of the TyG index for testosterone deficiency was not better than that of HOMA-IR. More well-designed studies are still needed to validate this relationship.

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

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and new-onset diabetes under different glycemic states and to compare the predictive value of TyG-related parameters, obesity indices, and lipid ratios for new-onset diabetes. METHODS Data were collected from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), consisting of 6,258 participants aged ≥45 years. Participants were grouped according to their glycemic states. Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic spline regression were used to explore the association between TyG index and diabetes. Cox proportional hazard models were applied to confirm the predictive value of the optimal marker. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to compare the predictive value. RESULTS TyG index was positively correlated with the risk of diabetes (hazard ratio (HR), 1.75; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.56-1.97), and the linear association existed (p < 0.001). The highest correlation with diabetes was visceral adiposity index (VAI) (HR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.44-2.90) in normal fasting glucose (NFG) group and TyG-body mass index (TyG-BMI) (HR, 2.53; 95% CI, 1.97-3.26) in impaired fasting glucose (IFG) group. The largest area under curve (AUC) was observed in TyG-waist-to-height ratio (TyG-WHtR) in the NFG group (AUC, 0.613; 95% CI, 0.527-0.700), and TyG-BMI had the highest AUC in the IFG group (AUC, 0.643; 95% CI, 0.601-0.685). CONCLUSION The association between TyG index and new-onset diabetes was positive and linear. TyG-WHtR was a clinically effective marker for identifying the risks of diabetes in the NFG group and TyG-BMI was an effective marker to predict diabetes in the IFG group.
