Associations of triglyceride glucose-related parameters with kidney stones: a cross-sectional study from NHANES 2007-2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, combined with obesity-related indicators such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), has been proven to be reliable for assessing insulin resistance (IR). The objective of this study is to investigate the relationships between TyG-related parameters and the prevalence of kidney stones among adults in the United States (US).

Methods

This cross-sectional study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2007-2020 to evaluate the associations of TyG-related parameters with kidney stones. Weighted logistic regression, restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, and subgroup analysis were employ
