Association between the triglyceride-glucose index and impaired cardiovascular fitness in non-diabetic young population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been linked to the onset, progression, and prognosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in middle-aged and elderly individuals. Nevertheless, the relationship between the TyG index and impaired cardiovascular fitness (CVF) remains unexplored in non-diabetic young population.

Methods

We used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) study (1999-2004) to conduct a cross-sectional study of 3364 participants who completed an examination of CVF. Impaired CVF was defined as low and moderate CVF levels determined by estimated maximal oxygen consumption (Vo2max), based on sex- and age-specific criteria. The TyG index was calculated by [Formula: see text].
