The association between triglyceride glucose index and the risk of cardiovascular disease in obstructive sleep apnea.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is a dependable indicator of insulin resistance (IR), serves as a valuable biomarker for identifying obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and predicting its comorbidities. Both OSA and the TyG index are significantly related to the incidence and development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We focus on investigating the relationship between the TyG index and the incidence of CVD risk in OSA.

Methods

The TyG index, homeostatic model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR) index, and polysomnography were assessed in 191 participants with OSA and without pre-existing CVD. To estimate the lifetime CVD risk, we employed the 'Prediction for Atherosclerotic CVD Risk in China' equation. The TyG index's association with CVD risk was scrutinized using multivari
