Association between the triglyceride glucose-body mass index and mortality risk in cardiovascular disease populations: a longitudinal cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of global mortality, with increasing prevalence and impact, especially in the elderly and developing countries. Insulin resistance (IR) plays a significant role in CVD progression, and the triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) index, combining fasting glucose and triglycerides, offers a simple, cost-effective method for assessing IR. However, its prognostic value in CVD populations remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate the relationship between TyG-BMI and mortality in CVD patients.

Methods

Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (1999-2018) combined with the linked National Death Index were analyzed. The CVD population was split into two groups (Q1 and Q2) base
