The interaction between triglyceride-glucose index and visceral adiposity in cardiovascular disease risk: findings from a nationwide Chinese cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Globally, cardiovascular disease (CVD) constitutes the primary cause of death, with insulin resistance (IR), measured by the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, and visceral obesity, reflected by the Chinese Visceral Adiposity Index (CVAI), as key contributors. However, the relationship between the TyG index and CVAI regarding CVD risk remains insufficiently understood. This research investigates the interactive impact of the TyG index and CVAI on the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Methods

We analyzed data from 8,358 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) over a 9-year follow-up period. Participants were classified into four groups based on median TyG index (8.59) and CVAI values (101.26), and baseline characteristics were sum
