Joint association of triglyceride glucose index (TyG) and body roundness index (BRI) with stroke incidence: a national cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Insulin resistance (IR), as quantified by the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, and visceral obesity, as assessed by the body roundness index (BRI), have been identified as pivotal risk factors for stroke. However, the combined impact of these two indicators on stroke risk has not been thoroughly investigated. This study aims to investigate both the separate and combined associations, as well as potential interactions, between the TyG index and/or BRI with respect to stroke incidence.

Methods

This cohort study encompassed 6621 respondents who were free of stroke at baseline from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Participants were categorized based on the median values of the TyG index or/and BRI. Cox proportional hazards regression model
