摘要

Background

Among hypertensive cohorts across different nations, the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) and its conjunction with obesity metrics in relation to cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence and mortality remains to be elucidated.

Methods

This study enrolled 9,283, 164,357, and 5,334 hypertensives from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), UK Biobank (UKBB), and Shanghai Pudong cohort. The related outcomes for CVD were defined by multivariate Cox proportional hazards models, Generalized Additive Models and Mendelian randomization analysis. Mediation analysis explored the mediating role of inflammatory markers in the above relationships.

Results

Five measures of insulin resistance were linked to CVD and related death in a U-shaped pattern, with the highest group having different risk increases. Higher glucose triglyceride-waist height ratio (TyG-WHTR) was linked to higher all-cause mortality (UKBB: HR 1.21, 95%CI 1.16–1.26, NHANES: HR 1.17, 95%CI 1.00–1.36), CVD mortality (UKBB: HR 1.36, 95%CI 1.23–1.49, NHANES: HR 1.32, 95%CI 1.00–1.72) risks. In the China Pudong cohort, higher triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (TG/HDL_C) ratio was associated with higher risks of CVD and stroke (HR 1.31, 95%CI 1.00–1.73 and 1.67, 1.06–2.63). Inflammation markers like systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) and C-reactive protein (CRP) partially explained these links, with CRP having a stronger effect. Genetically predicted TyG was also linked to stroke (OR 1.26, 95%CI 1.10–1.45) risk.

Conclusions

An elevated TyG index and its related indices are significantly correlated with an increased risk of CVD and related mortality across three national cohorts. These indices are anticipated to serve as valid predictors of incident CVD and mortality in individuals with hypertension.
