The association between triglyceride-glucose index and its combination with systemic inflammation indicators and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in the general US population: NHANES 1999-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The correlation between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and mortality in the general population remains controversial, with inconsistent conclusions emerging from different studies.

Objective

This study aims to investigate whether there is an association between the TyG index and mortality in the general population in the United States, and to explore whether a new index combining the TyG index with systemic inflammation indicators can better predict all-cause and cardiovascular mortality risks in the general population than using the TyG index alone.

Methods

Calculate the systemic inflammation indicators and TyG index for each participant based on their complete blood count, as well as their triglyceride and glucose levels in a fasting state. TyG-infl
