Association between the combination of the triglyceride-glucose index and obesity-related indices with hyperuricemia among children and adolescents in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA) among Chinese children and adolescents is a significant public health concern. Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) is recognized as a reliable biomarker in predicting insulin resistance, a condition associated with various metabolic disorders. Nevertheless, research on the association between TyG and its obesity-related indices with HUA among children and adolescents in China is limited.

Methods

This study utilized data from the 2017 Chinese National Nutrition and Health Surveillance of Children and Lactating Mothers. TyG, TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, and TyG-WHtR were calculated based on participants' fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, and measured height, weight, and waist circumference. Multivariable logistic regressions were used to assess
