Triglyceride glucose-waist circumference as a predictor of mortality and subtypes of cardiovascular disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The significant burden of cardiovascular diseases underscores the necessity for identifying novel predictive markers that can forecast both cardiovascular diseases and mortality. In recent years, TyG-obesity-related parameters have gained special attention in this regard. This study aimed to assess the association between TyG-waist circumference (TyG-WC) and cardiovascular diseases and mortality.

Methods

A comprehensive search was performed in databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science from their inception until October 6, 2024. The key outcomes of interest included all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, cardiovascular diseases, myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary artery diseases, peripheral artery diseases, and heart failure. The pooled ri
