Association between TG/HDL-C and hypertension in Chinese middle-aged and older adults: findings from CHARLS.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The triacylglycerol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-C) has been recognized as one of the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. We aimed to investigate the relationship between TG/HDL-C and hypertension in a Chinese middle-aged and elderly population.

Methods

We used data from the CHARLS database 2011-2018 to explore the relationship between TG/HDL-C and hypertension through cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. Hypertension was identified by self-report or taking anti-hypertensive medications. Participants aged below 45, or with missing data on TG/HDL-C or hypertension record, or taking lipid-lowering medication were excluded. Participants were divided into three or two groups based on triple
