The association between triglyceride-glucose index and its combination with obesity indicators and cardiovascular disease : NHANES 2003-2018

BACKGROUND: In the American population, the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and TYG combined with indicators of obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its mortality has been less well studied.

METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 11,937 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2018. Cox proportional hazards model, binary logistic regression analyses, restricted cubic spline (RCS), and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) were used to analyze the relationship between TyG and its combined obesity-related indicators and CVD and its mortality. Mediation analysis explored the mediating role of glycated hemoglobin and insulin in the above relationships.

RESULTS: In this study, except for no significant association between TyG and CVD mortality, TyG, TyG-WC, TyG-WHtR, and TyG-BMI were significantly and positively associated with CVD and CVD mortality. TyG-WHtR is the strongest predictor of CVD mortality (HR 1.66, 95% CI 1.21-2.29). The TyG index correlated better with the risk of coronary heart disease (OR 2.52, 95% CI 1.66-3.83). TyG-WC correlated best with total CVD (OR 2.37, 95% CI 1.77-3.17), congestive heart failure (OR 2.14, 95% CI 1.31-3.51), and angina pectoris (OR 2.38, 95% CI 1.43-3.97). TyG-WHtR correlated best with myocardial infarction (OR 2.24, 95% CI 1.45-3.44). RCS analyses showed that most of the above relationships were linear (P-overall < 0.0001, P-nonlinear > 0.05). Otherwise, ROC curves showed that TyG-WHtR and TyG-WC had more robust diagnostic efficacy than TyG. In mediation analyses, glycated hemoglobin mediated in all the above relationships and insulin-mediated in partial relationships.

CONCLUSIONS: TyG-WC and TyG-WtHR enhance CVD mortality prediction, diagnostic efficacy of CVD and its mortality, and correlation with some CVD over and above the current hottest TyG. TyG-WC and TyG-WtHR are expected to become more effective metrics for identifying populations at early risk of cardiovascular disease and improve risk stratification.
