Association Between Triglyceride/High-Density Lipoprotein Ratio and Incidence Risk of Heart Failure: A Population-Based Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: The triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein (TG/HDL) ratio serves as a simple marker for insulin resistance. We investigated whether the TG/HDL ratio would be associated with the incidence risk of heart failure (HF). Methods: The study utilized data from the National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort database of South Korea from 2002 to 2019. The TG/HDL ratio was utilized as a time-dependent covariate or average value of at least three times throughout the follow-up period.
