Association between triglyceride glucose combined with body mass index and hypertension in the NHANES 2017 to 2020.

ABSTRACT: Triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI), as a new surrogate index for evaluating insulin resistance (IR), has rarely been studied with the incidence rate of hypertension (HTN). This study aims to explore the correlation between TyG-BMI and HTN in American adults, to find a cost-effective and convenient marker to guide early prevention of HTN. We performed this cross-sectional study based on the NHANES database from 2017 to 2020. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the correlation between TyG-BMI and the prevalence of HTN. Additionally, stratified analysis was performed to test the robustness of the results. 3,069 eligible participants were included in our study (48.8% male, mean age 50.0 ± 17.2 years), and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed tha
