The nonlinear association between triglyceride glucose-body mass index and femoral neck BMD in nondiabetic elderly men: NHANES 2005-March 2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) has been considered a surrogate marker for assessing insulin resistance. We aimed to correlate the TyG-BMI, triglyceride glucose combined with body mass index, with femoral neck bone mineral density (FN BMD) in non-diabetic elderly men.

Methods

Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database, totally, 1182 eligible men aged ≥ 50 years without diabetes were included in the current study. Smoothed curves were obtained by a two-piecewise linear regression model and the threshold effects were explored by using a smoothing function.

Results

TyG-BMI was positive related with and FN BMD with or without adjustment for confounders. However, no typical dose-dependent positive as
