Association Between Triglyceride-Glucose Index and Development of Asthma in US Adolescents: A Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Metabolic abnormalities, such as insulin resistance (IR) and dyslipidemia, have been linked to an increased risk of asthma. The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), a metric indicating metabolic dysfunction, exhibits correlations with metabolic syndrome and IR. However, little research has been conducted on the relationship between TyG and asthma in the pediatric population. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between TyG and asthma among adolescents.

Methods

Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2007 and 2012 was analyzed in this cross-sectional study. The association between TyG and asthma was evaluated using various statistical methods, including multivariate logistic regression analysis, restricted cubic spline (RCS)
