Clin Exp Hypertens 2024; 46:2303999. [PMID: 38264971 DOI: 10.1080/10641963.2024.2303999] [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: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is a novel metabolic biomarker of atherosclerosis. Nevertheless, the association between the AIP and new-onset hypertension has not been elucidated in the Chinese population. METHODS Prospective data were obtained from 3150 participants aged ≥ 18 years in the China Health and Nutrition Survey from 2009 to 2015. The AIP is a logarithmically transformed ratio of triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in molar concentration. Cox regression analysis was used to determine the association of AIP index with new-onset hypertension. RESULTS After the six-year follow-up, 1054 (33.4%) participants developed new-onset hypertension. The participants were divided into AIP quartile groups (Q1-Q4). Compared with those in Q1, subjects in Q3-4 had nearly 1.35 times the risk of new-onset hypertension after full adjustment [Q3: hazard ratio (HR): 1.35, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.13-1.62; Q4: HR: 1.35, 95% CI: 1.13-1.64]. The risks of new-onset hypertension were nearly 1.30 times higher in subjects in Q2-4 than in subjects in Q1 (p < .01) after the full adjustment when we excluded subjects with diabetes and/or chronic kidney diseases. There was a significant difference [HR (CI): 1.27 (1.04-1.54) vs. 0.90 (0.69-1.18)] when subjects were divided into two groups according to body mass index (BMI) level (<24 vs. ≥24 kg/m2). CONCLUSIONS The present study suggested that individuals with a higher AIP index are associated with new-onset hypertension, independent of kidney function and glucose levels. The association was stronger in subjects with normal BMI, which may provide early screening of metabolomics in hypertension prevention.

Abstract
The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a simple and reliable indicator of insulin resistance, which is an important contributor to the development of hypertension. The aim of this meta-analysis was to determine the dose-response association between the TyG index and the incidence of hypertension. An extensive search was conducted through several databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, ScienceDirect, and Scopus, until June 1, 2024. The TyG index was used as the exposure, and the incidence of hypertension was measured throughout the TyG index intervals. The effect estimates were presented as odds ratios (OR) in both the unadjusted and adjusted models. Adjusted OR were carried out from all included studies to eliminate the possibility of confounding factors being involved in the incidence of hypertension. A total of 108.936 participants (mean age: 48.2 years old, male: 47%, mean body mass index: 23.9 kg/m2) from 14 observational studies were included. The TyG index in the most eminent category was related to a higher risk of hypertension in both unadjusted (OR: 2.59, 95%CI: 2.03-3.31, p<0.001; I2: 97.1%, p<0.001) and adjusted model (OR: 1.74, 95%CI: 1.39-2.19, p<0.001; I2: 92.2%, p<0.001). The dose-response meta-analysis for the adjusted OR showed that the linear association analysis was not significant per 0.1 increase in the TyG index. The dose-response curve became increasingly steeper at the TyG index above 8.5. In conclusion, the TyG index was shown to be strongly linked with hypertension in a non-linear dose-response manner.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM To explore the association of triglyceride glucose index-body mass index (TyG-BMI) and its dynamic changes with the risk of hypertension among middle-aged and older Chinese adults based on a large-sample prospective cohort study. METHODS AND RESULTS Participants over 45 years old and without a history of hypertension were included from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study registry. Data were collected in 2011 and followed up in 2015. TyG index and TyG-BMI were calculated as ln (triglyceride∗glucose/2) and TyG index∗BMI, respectively. We performed multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify the relationship between the TyG index, TyG-BMI and their dynamic change and the risk of hypertension. In the analyses, 3885 participants were included. After 4 years of follow-up, 1705 (43.89 %) patients developed hypertension. Logistic regression analysis revealed that after adjustments for all potential confounding factors, the highest tertile of baseline TyG index, baseline TyG-BMI, and the dynamic change in TyG-BMI were each associated with higher hypertension incidence than the lowest tertile: OR,1.38, 95 % CI, 1.17-1.63, OR,1.28, 95 % CI, 1.06-1.56, and OR, 1.26, 95 % CI, 1.07-1.48, respectively, whereas TyG index change was not. Moreover, the risk of hypertension increased with increasing levels of baseline TyG index (P for trend < 0.001), baseline TyG-BMI (P for trend = 0.013), and the dynamic change in TyG-BMI (P for trend = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS The baseline TyG index, baseline TyG-BMI, and the dynamic changes in TyG-BMI were significantly and positively associated with the risk of hypertension in Chinese adults older than 45 years.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the association between triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) and related parameters (TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, TyG-WHR, and TyG-WHtR) with hypertension and cardiovascular risk. Additionally, the study aimed to compare the performance of these parameters in identifying patients with hypertension and high cardiovascular risk and determine appropriate indicators for the prediction of cardiovascular risk. Residents from a community in Beijing, China, who underwent health examinations at a regional hospital between December 2011 and August 2012, were recruited. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the association between each parameter with hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to compare the predictive ability of each parameter in identifying people with hypertension or high cardiovascular risk. A total of 16,834 participants were included. After adjusting for confounders, the highest quartile groups of TyG and related parameters showed a significantly increased risk of hypertension compared to the lowest quartile groups. Among the parameters, TyG-WC exhibited the highest diagnostic efficacy for hypertension [area under the curve (AUC): 0.665, 95% CI: 0.656-0.673] followed by TyG-WHtR, TyG-BMI, TyG-WHR, and TyG index. Similarly, the highest quartile groups of each parameter demonstrated significantly increased risks of high cardiovascular risk compared to the lowest quartile groups. TyG-WHR performed best in distinguishing participants with high cardiovascular risk (AUC: 0.718, 95% CI: 0.710-0.726) followed by TyG-WC, TyG-WHtR, TyG-BMI, and TyG index. In conclusion, TyG-related parameters had independent associations with hypertension and cardiovascular risk. TyG-WHR exhibited the highest efficacy in distinguishing participants with high cardiovascular risk, which might contribute to the primary prevention of CVD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the relationship of triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), triglyceride-glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI), and triglyceride-glucose-waist circumference index (TyG-WC) with blood pressure abnormalities in adolescents, providing theoretical basis for the prevention and control of hypertension in adolescents. METHODS A stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 1 572 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years in Yinchuan City for questionnaire surveys, physical measurements, and laboratory tests. Logistic regression analysis and restricted cubic spline analysis were employed to examine the relationship of TyG, TyG-BMI, and TyG-WC with blood pressure abnormalities in adolescents. RESULTS Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that after adjusting for confounding factors, the groups with the highest quartile of TyG, TyG-BMI, and TyG-WC had 1.48 times (95%CI: 1.07-2.04), 3.71 times (95%CI: 2.67-5.15), and 4.07 times (95%CI: 2.89-5.73) higher risks of blood pressure abnormalities compared to the groups with the lowest quartile, respectively. Moreover, as the levels of TyG, TyG-BMI, and TyG-WC increased, the risk of blood pressure abnormalities gradually increased (P<0.05). A non-linear dose-response relationship was observed between TyG-BMI and the risk of blood pressure abnormalities (P overall trend<0.001, P non-linearity=0.002). Linear dose-response relationships were found between TyG and the risk of blood pressure abnormalities (P overall trend<0.001, P non-linearit =0.232), and between TyG-WC and the risk of blood pressure abnormalities (P overall trend<0.001, P non-linearity=0.224). CONCLUSIONS Higher levels of TyG and its derivatives are associated with an increased risk of blood pressure abnormalities in adolescents, with linear or non-linear dose-response relationships.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Findings from earlier research have established that insulin resistance (IR) is implicated in atherosclerosis progression, representing a noteworthy risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recently, the triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) has been introduced as a straightforward and robust alternative indicator for early detection of IR. Nevertheless, there is a scarcity of studies that have examined the capability of TyG-BMI for predicting incident CVD. Consequently, the core objective of this study was to determine whether the cumulative average TyG-BMI correlated with CVD incidence. METHODS All data was sourced from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). The exposure was the cumulative average TyG-BMI, determined by the average of TyG-BMI values for the baseline and follow-up investigations (Wave 1 in 2011, Wave 3 in 2015, respectively). The calculation of TyG-BMI involved a combination of triglyceride, fasting blood glucose, and body mass index. The primary outcome was incident CVD. Logistic regression analyses as well as restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression analyses were performed for examining the association between the cumulative average TyG-BMI and CVD incidence. RESULTS In all, 5,418 participants were enrolled in our analysis, with 2,904 (53.6%) being female, and a mean (standard deviation, SD) age of 59.6 (8.8) years. The mean (SD) cumulative average TyG-BMI among all participants was 204.9 (35.7). Totally, during a 4-year follow-up, 543 (10.0%) participants developed CVD. The fully adjusted logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between the cumulative average TyG-BMI and incident CVD [odds ratio (OR), 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.168, 1.040-1.310, per 1 SD increase]. The RCS regression analysis displayed a positive, linear association of the cumulative average TyG-BMI with CVD incidence (P for overall = 0.038, P for nonlinear = 0.436). CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed a noteworthy correlation between the cumulative average TyG-BMI and incident CVD among the middle-aged and older population. The cumulative average TyG-BMI emerges as a valuable tool that may enhance the primary prevention and treatment of CVD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown that triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) is associated with the risk of ischemic stroke and coronary artery disease. However, little attention has been given to the association between TyG-BMI and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). Therefore, this study aimed to explore the relationship between TyG-BMI and CVD mortality in southern Chinese patients undergoing PD. METHODS Incident patients receiving PD from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2018, with baseline serum triglyceride, glucose, and body mass index (BMI) information, were recruited for this single-center retrospective cohort study. TyG-BMI was calculated based on fasting plasma glucose, triglyceride, and BMI values. The association between TyG-BMI, CVD and all-cause mortality was evaluated using a multivariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazard regression model. RESULTS Of 2,335 patients, the mean age was 46.1 ± 14.8 years; 1,382 (59.2%) were male, and 564 (24.2%) had diabetes. The median TyG-BMI was 183.7 (165.5-209.2). Multivariate linear regression showed that advanced age, male sex, history of CVD, higher levels of albumin and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and higher urine output were correlated with a higher TyG-BMI (P < 0.05). During a median follow-up period of 46.6 (22.4-78.0) months, 615 patients died, of whom 297 (48.2%) died as a result of CVD. After adjusting for demographics and comorbidities, TyG-BMI was significantly associated with an increased risk of CVD mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 1.51, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05-2.17) and all-cause mortality (HR 1.36, 95% CI 1.05-1.75). After full adjustment, the 28% risk of CVD mortality (HR 1.28, 95% CI 1.13-1.45) and 19% risk of all-cause mortality were elevated (HR 1.19, 95% CI 1.09-1.31) when TyG-BMI increased by 1 stand deviation (SD) (34.2). CONCLUSIONS A higher baseline TyG-BMI was independently associated with an increased risk of CVD and all-cause mortality in patients receiving PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance (IR) and obesity are risk factors for hypertension; triglyceride-glucose (TyG) is known as a surrogate for IR. The present study investigated the association between the triglyceride-glucose body mass index (TyG-BMI) index and the risk of hypertension in Iranian adults. METHODS This study was conducted on a sample of 8,610 participants from the baseline phase of the Ravansar non- communicable diseases (RaNCD) in Iran. A logistic regression model was used to evaluate the relationship between TyG-BMI and hypertension. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to estimate the predictive power of TyG-BMI for hypertension. RESULTS A total of 4176 men and 4434 women with an average age of 46.74 years were examined. The anthropometric indices were significantly higher in hypertensive than normotensive subjects (P < 0.001). The level of physical activity was significantly higher in the bottom quartiles (P < 0.001). The odds of hypertension in the highest quartile and 3.10 (95% CI: 2.28, 4.16) times significantly higher than the bottom quartile of the TyG-BMI index. The discriminating ability of TyG-BMI to predict blood pressure was 61% (AUC: 0.61; 95% CI: 0.57, 0.63), and higher than BMI and TyG. CONCLUSION The TyG-BMI index is associated with an increase in the odds of hypertension. Therefore, the TyG-BMI index can be a new clinical index for early diagnosis of hypertension. Lifestyle modifications such as weight control through physical activity and a healthy diet can help improve IR and prevent hypertension.

Abstract
Police officers in Thailand have an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes, possibly due to a high prevalence of hypertension and metabolic syndrome (MetS). In this study, the researchers aimed to understand the relationship between surrogate markers of insulin resistance (IR) and the prevalence of MetS and hypertension in Thai police officers. The study included 7,852 police officer participants, of which 91.8% were men with an average age of 48.56 years. The prevalence of hypertension and MetS were found to be 51.1% and 30.8%, respectively, and the participants with MetS and hypertension were older compared to the regular group. The study looked at eight IR indices, including markers such as atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), lipid accumulation product (LAP), metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR), triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, TyG index with body mass index (TyG-BMI), TyG index with waist circumference (TyG-WC), the ratio of triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-c), and visceral obesity index (VAI). These indices were found to be positively correlated with waist circumference, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and triglycerides (TG), while being negatively correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c). In addition, the multiple regression analysis showed that higher quartiles of all IR indices were significantly associated with increased risks of MetS and hypertension. Interestingly, the IR indices were more accurate in predicting MetS (ranges 0.848 to 0.892) than traditional obesity indices, with the AUC difference at p < 0.001. Among the IR indices, TyG-WC performed the best in predicting MetS (AUC value 0.892 and Youden index 0.620). At the same time, TyG-BMI had the highest accuracy in predicting hypertension (AUC value of 0.659 and Youden index of 0.236). In addition, this study found that when two markers were combined for diagnosing metabolic syndrome, a significantly improved predictive value for disease risk was observed, as evidenced by higher AUC and Yoden index. Moreover, the IR indices were found to have higher predictive power for MetS and hypertension in younger police personnel (age < 48 years) than older personnel. In conclusion, this study highlights the importance of reducing cardiovascular disease risks among law enforcement personnel as a strategic goal to improve their health and wellness. The findings suggest that IR indices may be valuable tools in predicting MetS and hypertension in law enforcement personnel and could potentially aid in the early identification and prevention of law enforcement personnel health conditions.

J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich) 2023; 25:370-379. [PMID: 36929716 PMCID: PMC10085812 DOI: 10.1111/jch.14652] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 02/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023]
Abstract
The triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) has been considered an alternative marker of insulin resistance (IR). This cross-sectional study was designed to mainly investigate the association between TyG-BMI, triglyceride glucose combined with body mass index, and hypertension in Chinese adults. The relationship between TyG-BMI and hypertension was examined by multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic spline model. Multiple logistic regression models were also performed to examine the associations between the individual components of TyG-BMI (BMI, TyG index, TG and FBG) and hypertension. The incremental ability of TyG-BMI versus its individual components for hypertension discrimination was evaluated by C-statistic and net reclassification index. Subgroup analysis was performed to examine potential interactions. A total of 92,545 participants (38.9% men, mean age 53.7 years) were included for final analysis. Logistic regression models showed TyG-BMI and its individual components were all significantly associated with the odds of hypertension (p for trend < .001). The restricted cubic spline regression manifested a linear association between TyG-BMI and hypertension (p for non-linear = .062). The addition of TyG-BMI, in comparison with each individual component, exhibited the maximum incremental value for the discrimination of hypertension on the basis of base model (C-statistic: 0.679, 95% CI: 0.675-0.683 for base model vs. 0.695, 95% CI: 0.691-0.699 for base model + TyG-BMI; net reclassification index: 0.226, 95% CI: 0.215-0.234). TyG-BMI was significantly associated with the odds of hypertension and can be a better discriminator of hypertension.

Role of Insulin Resistance as a Mediator of the Relationship between Body Weight, Waist Circumference, and Systolic Blood Pressure in a Pediatric Population. Metabolites 2023; 13:metabo13030327. [PMID: 36984767 PMCID: PMC10056524 DOI: 10.3390/metabo13030327] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Excess weight and high waist circumference (WC) are associated with increased blood pressure (BP), starting from the pediatric age. Insulin resistance is associated with elevated BP in childhood. The aim of the study was to assess the role of insulin resistance in mediating the relationship between body mass index (BMI), WC, and BP values in a pediatric population referred to a cardio-pediatric center for the presence of one or more cardiovascular risk factors. In 419 children (mean age 10.7 [standard deviation, SD 2.5] years), the following parameters were collected both in basal conditions and after 18.6 (SD 9.3) months of follow-up during which a treatment based on lifestyle and dietary modifications was given: systolic and diastolic BP (SBP and DBP), WC, plasma glucose, and insulin values. The HOMA (Homeostasis Model Assessment)-index was considered as an expression of insulin resistance. At baseline there was a significant correlation between HOMA-index and SBP z-score (β = 0.081, p = 0.003), and insulin resistance was a mediator of the relationship between BMI and SBP z-score (p = 0.015), and between waist circumference to height (WtHr) and SBP z-score (p = 0.008). The effect of BMI z-score modifications on SBP z-score changes from baseline to follow-up was totally mediated by HOMA-index changes (p = 0.008), while HOMA-index only partially mediated the effect of WtHr modifications on SBP z-score changes (p = 0.060). Our study strongly suggests that, in a pediatric population at cardiovascular risk, the HOMA-index is an important mediator of the relationship between BMI, WC and SBP.
