Associations of triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index with chest pain incidence and mortality among the U.S. population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The triglyceride and glucose (TyG) index, a simple surrogate marker of insulin resistance, is related to cardiovascular disease. However, there is a lack of evidence for the relationship between the TyG index and chest pain. This study aimed to investigate the association of the TyG index with chest pain and to evaluate the relationship between the TyG index and all-cause mortality in participants with or without chest pain.

Methods

The present study utilized data from the 2001-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), employing a combination of cross-sectional and cohort study designs. The association between the TyG index and chest pain was investigated using weighted logistic regression models. Weighted Cox proportional hazards models were
