Triglyceride-glucose-waist circumference index predicts the incidence of cardiovascular disease in Korean populations: competing risk analysis of an 18-year prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The triglyceride and glucose-waist circumference (TyG-WC) index demonstrated a strong association with insulin resistance, especially in Asian population. However, evidence on the association between TyG-WC index and the occurrence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is limited. This study aimed to verify association between the TyG-WC index and the occurrence of CVD by considering all-cause mortality as a competing risk.

Methods

The study included 7482 participants divided into four groups based on the TyG-WC index quartiles. Kaplan-Meier curves illustrated cumulative incidence rates of CVD and all-cause mortality during the follow-up period. Log-rank tests determined group differences. The Cox proportional hazard spline curve demonstrates the dose-dependent relation
