Association of a novel nutritional index with stroke in Chinese population with hypertension: Insight from the China H-type hypertension registry study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The abbreviated TCB index (TCBI) is a novel indicator of nutritional status, calculated by multiplying the serum values of triglycerides (TG), total serum cholesterol (TC), and body weight. The research on the relationship between this index and stroke is limited. We aimed to investigate the association between TCBI and stroke in Chinese hypertensive patients.

Methods and results

A total of 13,358 adults with hypertension from the China H-type Hypertension Registry Study were enrolled. The TCBI was calculated as TG (mg/dL) * TC (mg/dL) * body weight (kg)/1,000. The primary outcome was an incidence of stroke. Multivariable adjusted models revealed an inverse association between TCBI and the prevalence of stroke. In the fully adjusted model, the results showed that t
