The association between derived TyG index and the risk of heart failure in the elderly population: a prospective cohort study from 2017 to 2023.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetes and obesity are established risk factors for heart failure(HF). Although the TyG (triglyceride-glucose) index serves as a sensitive marker for identifying insulin resistance, there is a lack of comprehensive evidence regarding whether its integration with obesity indices can enhance the predictive capacity for HF. This prospective cohort study is designed to explore the correlation between TyG indices in conjunction with obesity indices (TyG-body mass index, or TyG-BMI; TyG-waist circumference, or TyG-WC; TyG-waist circumference-to-height ratio, or TyG-WHtR) and the risk of HF.

Methods

Between 2017 and 2023, the study employed a prospective cohort study design to investigate all older adults aged 60 years and above who completed at least twice periodical
