Association between Triglyceride-Glucose Index and carotid plaque in Japanese population: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Previous studies linking Triglyceride Glucose (TyG) Index to carotid plaque have yielded inconsistent results. Moreover, related studies on the population of Japan are rare. This study aims to provide further results.

Design

A hospital-based cross-sectional study.

Setting

The Shin Takeo Hospital.

Participants

We assessed 1904 Japanese participants (988 men and 916 women) whose mean age was 57±11.9 years, and those participants underwent health check-ups at Shinbuf Hospital at Shin Takeo Hospital from 1 April 2016 to 31 October 2017.
