Triglyceride-glucose index is associated with hypertension incidence up to 13 years of follow-up in mexican adults.

ABSTRACT: The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) is an indicator of insulin resistance that has been studied recently. The relationship between insulin resistance and the risk of hypertension has been documented previously. However, there is limited knowledge regarding the association of the TyG index with hypertension incidence. This study aimed to evaluate the association of the TyG index with changes in blood pressure (BP) and hypertension incidence in Mexican adults. This analysis was performed using the Health Workers Cohort Study data. The TyG index was estimated as Ln [fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2] and divided into categories defined by tertiles. The analysis was conducted using fixed-effects linear regression models (n = 1,545) and Cox proportional hazards re
