Association between insulin resistance and uncontrolled hypertension and arterial stiffness among US adults: a population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prior research has established the correlation between insulin resistance (IR) and hypertension. While the association between triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a reliable surrogate marker of IR, and uncontrolled hypertension as well as arterial stiffness among individuals with hypertension remains undisclosed.

Methods

In this study, a total of 8513 adults diagnosed with hypertension from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2018 were included. The primary outcome of the study are arterial stiffness (represented with estimated pulse wave velocity, ePWV) and uncontrolled hypertension. Logistic regression model, subgroup analysis, restricted cubic spine, and smooth curve fitting curve were conducted to evaluate the association between the IR ind
