Triglyceride-Glucose Index and Its Correlates : Associations with Serum Creatinine and Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate in a Cross-Sectional Study from CHARLS 2011-2015

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has emerged as a significant global public health challenge, and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is widely used due to its convenience, low cost, and broad clinical applicability. Concurrently, insulin resistance (IR) serves as a crucial marker of metabolic disturbance, and alternative indicators have garnered increasing attention in CKD research in recent years. Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between IR-related indices (TyG index, TyG-BMI index, and TyG-WC index) and serum creatinine levels, as well as the eGFR, with the intention of uncovering their potential roles in the assessment of renal function. Methods: We analyzed nationally representative cross-sectional data from a cohort of individuals aged 45 and above in China, comprising 11,608 participants. Participants were categorized into different groups based on quartiles of the TyG index, and multiple factors, including gender, age, lifestyle, and co-morbidities, were adjusted for using linear regression models. Results: By linear regression, TyG, TyG-BMI, and TyG-WC indices were significantly positively correlated with serum creatinine and significantly negatively correlated with eGFR. Results showed similar trends when TyG, TyG-BMI, and TyG-WC indices were used as categorical variables. In the fully adjusted model, the highest quartile of serum creatinine was higher than the first quartile for TyG, TyG-BMI, and TyG-WC indices, with β values of 2.673, 3.67, and 1.937 mg/dL, respectively; the highest quartile of eGFR was lower than the first quartile, with β values of -2.4, -2.955, and -1.823 mL/min/1.73 m2. P values were statistically significant. Conclusions: This study indicates a consistent correlation between the TyG index and its related indices with serum creatinine levels and eGFR among the middle aged and elderly population in China. These findings suggest the potential utility of these indices in early screening and management of the risk of chronic kidney disease.
