C-reactive protein-triglyceride glucose index predicts stroke incidence in a hypertensive population: a national cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Both the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a predictor of insulin resistance (IR), and inflammation are risk factors for stroke in hypertensive patients. However, only a handful of studies have coupled the TyG index and inflammation indices to predict stroke risk in hypertensive patients. The C-reactive protein-triglyceride-glucose index (CTI) is a novel marker that comprehensively assesses the severity of IR and inflammation. The present study explored the association between CTI and the risk of stroke in patients with hypertension.

Methods

A total of 3,834 hypertensive patients without a history of stroke at baseline were recruited from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Multivariate Cox regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) anal
